To have dinner and watch a Netflix collection. We simply went on a trip for the primary time. We type of labored backward. We received engaged, after which we began relationship. We’ve additionally been actually busy. We’ve gotten alternatives to be on lots of exhibits and do appearances. So till that slows down, I don’t have sufficient time to plan a marriage. I simply don’t wish to put that strain on myself but to plan the marriage. I’d say within the subsequent yr we’re going to do one thing, however I simply haven’t began planning it.”
Joan and Chock additionally nonetheless reside aside—her house is in Maryland, whereas Chock resides in Kansas—although Joan maintains that the gap hasn’t had a unfavorable impact on their relationship. “He nonetheless has a enterprise in Kansas that’s in all probability going to be occurring for at the very least one other yr, perhaps a bit longer. He’s attempting to get it to a degree the place it may run by itself or he can promote it, and it’s not there but,” she says. “Proper now, we’re doing a very good job of seeing one another, however not residing collectively. We see one another about each 10 days for 4 or 5 days at a time. Now we have plans for the subsequent two months to see one another. Residing collectively doesn’t appear to be a giant situation.

The saying that absence makes the center develop founder, it actually does.”

“A singular factor occurred after our season. After my season, lots of the blokes have girlfriends,” she says. “I believe this was completely as a result of nice relationships they shaped with one another and being extra assured so far. Mark does, Jonathan does, Charles does, Christopher does. Numerous the blokes have paired off already, which takes them out of the working to be the Golden Bachelor. I’d not be utterly shocked in the event that they went forward and solid a totally completely different particular person.”
Whereas Joan predicts that ABC will solid an unknown for the Season 2 Golden Bachelor, she hopes that the community will contemplate males from her season who didn’t get as a lot display screen time. “There are lots of guys who America didn’t get to know very nicely who could be superb and are nonetheless single,” she says. “You don’t know that a lot about Dan or Greg or Keith. Perhaps they weren’t matches for me, however they’re superb guys. I’d love in the event that they selected any individual from this season. I’m simply not optimistic they’re going to as a result of I’m watching Grant’s season, and I hold seeing the casting name that claims they’re taking purposes for women and men. It makes me suppose they’re perhaps in search of a special man. I’m shocked by the best way it’s worded on the TV.”

There are rumblings speaking about it,” she says. “For my part, they should wait a bit bit longer, as a result of they solely have one season of males and one season of ladies. I’m simply undecided there’s sufficient folks to do an excellent Bachelor in Paradise, until they resolve to carry new folks in, which isn’t one thing they’ve ever accomplished earlier than. The issue with Golden is that they solely do one a yr, and in order that makes it arduous to get a sufficiently big solid.”
Whereas Joan received’t be on the primary season of Golden Bachelor in Paradise, on condition that she’s engaged, she’s hopeful that she’ll be on actuality TV once more sooner or later. “I’d like to do Dancing with the Stars, so I hope I get requested to do this. That’s a standard ask, however not a given,” she says. “I’m an enormous fan of Traitors, so I’d like to be on Traitors. I’m placing that out within the universe proper now. It’s an exceptional present. It’s hilarious, and I really like all the scheming and thriller. It seems so enjoyable.”
Would she wish to be a traitor or a trustworthy? “I wish to be a traitor,” she says. “I’m not a very sneaky particular person. I’m brutally, weirdly trustworthy, however I believe that will be difficult for me and one thing enjoyable to do.”
Within the meantime, Joan is targeted on her partnership with Aspercreme, a model she’s used for years. (She’s particularly a fan of the spray and roll-on.”
“I’m lastly at a time in my life the place I’ve lots of free time and I get to do the issues I really like, however generally it takes a toll,” she says. “Like I’m enjoying with my grandkids and I’ll take my grandson to the park and provides him a piggyback trip house, after which my elbow hurts the remainder of the night time. Aspercreme is simply a straightforward product to make use of. I’m taking one thing you apply on to wherever your ache is. It doesn’t simply uninteresting the ache. It utterly eliminates it. Different merchandise odor like a sweet cane if you’re accomplished, and this one is totally odor-free, so you need to use it anytime and anyplace, and no one is aware of you’re carrying it. At this age I don’t wish to decelerate, however I additionally don’t wish to be in ache, and it offers me the most effective of each worlds.”
