The finale of The Golden Bachelorette, aired on November 13, 2024, concluded Joan Vassos's journey for love in scenic Bora Bora. Joan reflected on her past, her family, and her final choice. She began by recalling her disappointment over Pascal's departure, as he didn’t share her feelings. Her friend Nancy reassured her of her worthiness of love and happiness.

As Joan’s family joined her in Bora Bora to meet her final two suitors, Chock and Guy, she balanced her feelings with her family’s expectations. While Chock’s sincere expressions of affection resonated with Joan, her family approached him with both curiosity and some reservation.

Joan’s conversations with her family, her memories of her late husband, and her readiness to embrace a new beginning all played a role in making the final decision.

Chock began by reflecting on their journey, expressing his admiration for Joan’s strength and the qualities he found meaningful in their connection.

Joan, dressed in a white sequined gown, listened as Chock shared his thoughts, adding that their time together had brought a renewed sense of happiness and fulfillment. Finally, Chock offered her a proposal, asking her to join him in the next stage of life together. Joan, moved by his words, accepted his proposal. The couple shared their joy with a call to Joan’s mother, marking a start to their new chapter.
