Joan Vassos and Jock Chappell Still going strong one year after engagement golden bachelorette — but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel a little pressure when it comes to Bachelor Nation expectations.
“I do feel like that – if something happens to us, nothing will happen, but if something happens, it’s going to be difficult gold Franchise,” Joan, 61, tell us weekly In a joint interview with Chock, also 61, they exclusively reported that Inspire. “I’m not sure if I’ve ever said this to anyone, but I felt so much pressure to succeed[as The Bachelorette]because Gerry and Teresa We broke up within a few months just before I started filming. I felt a lot of pressure that if I didn’t succeed, if I didn’t find someone, it would be over. I feel super responsible. I’m very lucky. “
Joan and Jock got engaged in season 1 golden bacheloretteto air in fall 2024. From the beginning, Joan was vocal that she did not want to leave her children and grandchildren in Maryland. Jock still lives in Kansas.
“Even though we were separated, we spent a lot of time together,” Jock told us. us. “We’ll be spending a lot of time together (vacationing in New York) over the next two to three weeks. We’re still getting to know (each other). It’s quite enjoyable, honestly, that you can still get to know someone a year later.”
Jock added that Joan made her life “better” for many reasons, including her organization, which they needed when planning parties and trips.
“We figure it out every month,” she said. “It was harder because we were a lot busier than we thought, but we had a lot of fun doing it. It was really fun how it worked out.”
As for the engagement ring – which Joan didn’t wear earlier this year, sparking separate rumors – they say us They have no plans to get married yet.
“We would get married, but right now we’re so busy. I couldn’t plan a wedding right now if my life depended on it,” Joan said. “Either elope or go to city hall. I have a son who got married last summer. I have a son who’s getting married this summer. There could be a baby coming — life is so busy.”
Jock insists the pair will get married “when the time comes”.
“We want to… it’s not a priority in everything we do right now,” he said.
“We’re in this together,” Joan added. “To be honest, I don’t think it’s going to change the way we live that much.”
The aforementioned breakup speculation was sparked by Joan not mentioning Jock’s name in her Thanksgiving post, but that doesn’t really bother them.
“The good thing about our internal relationship is I’m fine. It doesn’t bother me at all. I think it’s funny,” Jock said. “It’s about family, so I’m happy with that.”
In addition to spending the holidays together in New York, Joan and Chock also teamed up to shoot a commercial for Inspire, four years after Chock received an Inspire implant in 2021 after years of battling sleep apnea.
“I have sleep apnea, but I’ve had success with implants, and when you use Inspire sleep therapy, you have more energy,” Chock said. He was at the Us Weekly offices showing off his Inspire Sleep Remote, a handheld device that can turn the implant on/off, adjust stimulation intensity, and more. “It really changes your life. As we get older, a lot of us don’t get eight hours of sleep a day, but you can get six to seven hours. Your sleep won’t be disturbed.”
Joan, for her part, was also grateful, noticing that Jock didn’t have the remote control with him on their first night together. Bachelorette.
“We fell asleep and he snored all night. I didn’t sleep[at all]and I’d never experienced that before,” Joan recalled. “I actually left at night and went back to my room. In the morning he explained to me that he didn’t have a remote and that he had sleep apnea, but that everything was going to be okay because (he) had this Inspire implant. I had never even heard of it and he told me all about it and the next night, there was no snoring at all. I know people do deal with that in marriages.”
