Spoilers for The Golden Bachelorette finale ahead. The first-ever season of ABC's The Golden Bachelorette has ended, wrapping up Joan Vassos's heartwarming search for a second chance at true love. (Or at least, more heartwarming and less messy than the more notorious seasons of The Bachelor franchise.) Arriving just a few weeks after the dramatic conclusion of season 21 of The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelorette followed Joan, a 61-year-old school administrator from Maryland who first made waves as a contestant on The Golden Bachelor. Once it was her turn to lead the reality TV show, Joan took the task of dating 24 men very seriously, hoping to find love again after experiencing the loss of her late husband of 32 years.
After nine weeks of respectful, adorable dating, Joan eventually narrowed down her suitors to two charming seniors: Chock Chapple and Guy Gansert. (Yes, those are their legal names.) Ultimately, Joan went with her heart and chose Chock, a 61-year-old insurance executive from Kansas, as her winner and fiancé. So where are Joan and Chock now, and will their relationship outlast Golden Bachelor alum Gerry and Teresa's three-month marriage? Read on for a breakdown of The Golden Bachelorette finale.
