The Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos Reveals Why She’s “So Tired” Of Life In Maryland After Revealing Chock Relationship Is Stressful Amid Wichita Reunion

The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos may have dropped a clue as to where she and Chock Chapple will end up living in a video she shared on social media. Chock and Joan met and became engaged during The Golden Bachelorette season 1 in late 2024, and since then, they've been living the high life, jet-setting around on vacations and work commitments, but they haven't picked a place to settle down yet. Joan is from Maryland, very close to Washington, D.C., while Chock is from Wichita, Kansas. Amid all of this, Joan has admitted her new life has been very stressful.

Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple have expressed a desire to move to New York City, and it seems Joan has a major complaint about her hometown right now.

Many are convinced Joan will move to Wichita, where Chock has an established life. They've been spending a lot of time there, and Joan shared a TikTok where she expressed being tired of living on the cold East Coast. In the video, a promotion for Roc skincare, Joan, a budding social media influencer, said she loves the brand's moisturizers because the cold weather has been drying out her skin. She said, "I need a vacation. I am so tired of this cold weather in DC, and not only am I tired of it, but my skin is tired of it."

What Joan Vassos Being Tired Of Cold Weather Means For Future With Chock

Joan Is Ready For A Change

Joan's video gives a little bit of insight into her state of mind amid trying to figure out where to live with Chock. She's visited Chock in Wichita multiple times, getting herself familiar with his life out there. She's met his friends and been to his favorite restaurants, and Chock seems thrilled to introduce her to life in the Midwest. They've been spotted at clothing stores and were even featured on the cover of a local magazine in Wichita.

If Joan is so tired of the weather in DC, she might be hinting that she's ready to move somewhere else. Even though the winters in Wichita and New York City can also be cold, it would be a nice change of pace for Joan, and being with Chock might be worth it for her. It might be better to be cold in the same city as her sweetheart so they can at least cuddle up together.

Joan might want a vacation right now, but she might also be hinting that she's ready for a change and is open to moving somewhere new with Chock. Joan seems less attached to her hometown than Chock is, so it doesn't seem likely that he will move to Maryland. The Golden Bachelorette lead seems more open to life in Wichita, so her video about dry skin might actually have been a hint at something bigger, and more exciting, to come.
