The Golden Bachelorette is the spin-off of The Bachelorette. It debuted on ABC on September 18, 2024, and revolves around 61-year-old Joan Vassos and her suitors. The season finale aired on November 13, 2024, revealing (spoilers alert) Charles “Chock” Chapple, the 60-year-old Insurance Executive, as the winner and the one to receive the final rose from Joan Vassos. Now, fans are wondering whether he and Joan are still together after the series.
Did Joan and Chock break up or are they still together after The Golden Bachelorette finale?
Yes, Joan and Chuck are still together after The Golden Bachelorette finale, per Reality Steve. In the finale, Joan chose Chock over the first runner-up Guy Gansert, who is a 66-year-old ER Doctor.
Chock had been the frontrunner since the beginning of the series, and many fans observed the sizzling chemistry between him and Joan. Those who are familiar with the broader Bachelor franchise might remember Joan, a Private School Administrator based in Maryland, as one of the contestants in the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor, which featured Gerry Turner. She finished that show at the 12th place after quitting in Week 3. But, now it seems that she has found her perfect match.
Interestingly, Joan might have spoiled the ending of her season of The Golden Bachelorette during her appearance on The Viall Files in October. “Chock was one of those people. Immediately, I loved what he did. The Chock-o-Noodle soup was hilarious,” she recalled, indicating how interested she was in him. “But the reason that was such a good thing to do is because I realized he went and figured out who I was and what was important to me,” she added.

Chock briefly left the show after his mother passed away, but he eventually returned. The finale ended with an engagement, though there didn’t seem to be any immediate plans for a wedding.
