Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Golden Bachelorette finale.

Joan Vassos has found her happily ever after. The 61-year-old school administrator, who captured America's hearts last year on The Golden Bachelor, made her final choice during the two-hour finale of The Golden Bachelorette on Nov. 13. But are the couple still together today?

Following last week's Men Tell All, Joan reunited with her former contestant Pascal Ibgui, who had left during the fantasy suites because he wasn't in love with her. Going into the finale, her choices were between Guy Gansert, an emergency room doctor from Reno, Nevada, and Chock Chapple, an insurance company president. Before accepting a proposal, she needed one last day with each of them—and for them to meet her family.

The finale took place in Bora Bora. First up was Chock, who met Joan's daughter Ally and her husband Noah, as well as her oldest son Nick and his fiancée Brooke. Chock assured them he wasn't there to "replace" their late father in any "way, shape, or form." By the end of their conversations, the family felt confident that Chock could be an excellent addition. During their final date, Chock surprised Joan with a set of keys, symbolizing his commitment to finding a home together in New York City.

When Guy was set to meet Joan's family, there was a surprising twist: Joan's date with Chock made her realize she had already found love and didn't want to lead Guy on if she knew Chock was the one. Guy joined her on stage during the live finale to talk and clear the air.

Joan explained that she had been progressing with Guy but ultimately reached that place with Chock more quickly. "In any other situation, I would've been with you, because we'd have more time," she said.

Who Won The Golden Bachelorette 2024?

In The Golden Bachelorette finale, Joan became engaged to Chock Chapple, an insurance executive from Wichita, Kansas. After going down the aisle to Joan, Chock told her he couldn't wait to honor her late husband, John, by loving her every day. He expressed his love for her multiple times, telling her how much he wanted her to be part of his life. Joan shared that she had envisioned a future with Chock from their first date at Disneyland and eventually fell in love with him.

Following the touching proposal, the couple FaceTimed Joan's mom from the beach, who was thrilled to meet her daughter's new partner. "I never in a million years thought I'd feel love like this again. Ever," Joan said.

Are Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple Still Together?

Yes, Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are still happily together following The Golden Bachelorette finale. The couple appeared with Jesse in the studio, where they were introduced as the franchise's "newest Golden Bachelorette couple."

"This feels so good," Joan shared. "I'm looking at our family and friends, who we've never gotten to be with together, so it's so nice to finally be able to share our love and our story and our future with them."

"I couldn't be happier and I want the world to know it," Chock added. "I want to tell the world, the fans, how classy Joan is and the respect she gave all the other guys," he added.

Since their engagement, Joan and Chock have enjoyed quality time together out of the public eye. "We cooked, we played crosswords—I mean, we did everything," Chock said.

Jesse then surprised the couple with a trip to Disney World for their two families. Reflecting on their proposal day, Joan recalled her first one-on-one with Chock, saying, "From our first date in Disneyland, I thought I saw a future with you." Now, they'll return to the magical place with their families and a Neil Lane engagement ring!
