Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are ready to steal each other for more than just a sec.
Because after getting engaged on the first-ever season of The Golden Bachelorette, the couple is eager to build a new life together.
Instead of handing out roses, Joan is putting down some roots with Chock in New York. During their one-on-one date on the Nov. 13 finale, viewers watched him give her a keychain with a heart-shaped lock on it—a “Chock lock” as he called it—as a symbol of his commitment to both her and her desire to get place in the big city.
“You talk about your dreams when you're dating someone: What do you want to do? What's your aspirations?” Chock, 60, told E! News in an exclusive joint interview with Joan, 61. “And Joan said, 'I would really love to spend some time in New York City.'"
She didn’t need to extend him a date card to see if they wanted to forgo their individual homes either, as he felt the same way.
“Every business guy wants to do two years in New York,” the insurance executive from Wichita, Kansas, added. “They just want to experience it. And I've taken my kids there, I've vacationed, I've done business there, but I go, 'That's going to be a great fit.'"

So start spreadin’ the news, because the reality stars are leaving to find an apartment soon.
"On Monday, we’re working with a realtor to start looking at places," he continued in the Nov. 14 chat, "and we’ve gotten all kinds of recommendations on where to live. We’re just excited. I think it’s going to be fun to watch Joan handle all this—from the furnishings to everything else to where we live. We get along so well I’m like, 'This is yours. It was my gift to you. You pick it. You pick exactly what you want.'"
And while they’re hoping to find a place in a New York minute, they’re not in as much of a hurry to walk down the aisle.
“We’re just happy to not have anything epic to do right now because that’s all we’ve been doing for the last six months,” Joan told E!, noting she and Chock haven’t talked too much about a wedding timeline and instead want, “Just to be a couple and enjoy each other and get to know each other’s friends and family. I think timeline is within a year, but we’re not in any rush to have it done really quickly.”
But when they do decide to tie the knot, they’d consider sending viewers an invite.
“As far as televised or just like a little private thing, [we] originally thought private—just our friends and family, smaller, maybe destination,” the school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, continued. “But now, we’re thinking maybe we’d be open for a televised one.”
And they’d want to do it for the right reasons.
"Bachelor Nation has kind of watched us through this whole journey," Joan added, "and then to abruptly end it and not show anybody the next chapter of it would be not really that kind. And so we’re thinking about maybe, maybe doing that."
