Chock briefly left The Golden Bachelorette process to attend his mother's funeral, but Joan was absolutely thrilled when he returned and resumed competing for her heart.

"I feel safe and I feel comfortable again, like I have a future and there's hope. I can see it now," Joan gushed to the cameras.

As Chock's feelings for Joan deepened, he began rubbing some of the other bachelors the wrong way by monopolizing Joan's time on group dates.

"I'm crazy about her and I want to be with her every moment," Chock explained in a confessional. "I don't care what the [other guys] are thinking or doing."

Chock told Joan that he could see them being together long term and they could have a beautiful future together.

And during Chock's hometown date, Chock told Joan that he was "falling in love" with her and didn't want to lose her.

Joan definitely hit it off with Chock's loved ones, who could tell that Chock was completely smitten with The Golden Bachelorette star. And now he and Joan will be enjoying an overnight Fantasy Suite date.

Until The Golden Bachelorette viewers find out whom Joan picked as her winner and if her journey to find love ended happily, let's learn some details about this bachelor right now.

Below is a list of 10 facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Golden Bachelorette bachelor Chock Chapple.

Chock is looking for a woman who can keep up with him

Chock is hoping to meet an adventurous and compassionate woman who enjoys spending time with family.

When Chock isn't working or spending time with his kids and his beloved black Lab named Super Tubbs, he loves exercising and rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Chock would also love a good shopping partner given his guilty pleasure is shopping and finding a good sale.

Chock was almost married twice before his The Golden Bachelorette stint

Chock was married for 12 years and had kids with this woman, but it didn't work out.

After three years of being single, Chock met a woman named Kathy White Goree, and he eventually proposed marriage to her.

Chock's late fiancee Kathy passed away in October 2022, about five months after doctors discovered tumors on her brain. She died at age 52 after a battle with brain cancer.

Chock did not apply to compete on Joan's The Golden Bachelorette season

Chock's 24-year-old daughter actually nominated him for The Golden Bachelorette.

"She says, 'Dad, you're not going to be happy with what I did,'" Chock recalled of his daughter's application on his behalf.

"And I said, 'What did you do?!' When a kid does that, [it's scary]! She goes, 'I signed you up for The Golden Bachelor,' and so that started the process."

Chock's daughter had predicted Joan would be the show's star before her official casting was announced.

While Chock is well-traveled, he put down roots in Kansas decades ago

Chock is originally from a small town in Garden Plain, KS, but he's spent the last 30 years in Wichita.

Chock attended Kansas State University and graduated with degrees in both Labor Relations and General Business Administration.

Insurance is apparently in the Chapple family's blood

Chock's grandfather and father were insurance professionals dating back to the 1920's.

Chock is the President of Insurance Services Group, LLC, a full service agency, according to his LinkedIn.

Chock says he specializes in insurance for family-owned and managed businesses.

The senior bachelor began this job in January 2020, and he's been working full-time ever since.

Chock believes love can be found at any age

ABC says that Chock is kind, loves adventure, and has had a successful career owning his own business.

Chock has a very full life with his kids and his work, but something has been missing in his life -- a partner!

After the loss of his fiancee, Chock says he wants to find love again more than anything else. He's enthusiastic about finding that spark with a woman again.

In fact, he said he was "more excited" to appear on The Golden Bachelorette than he had been about anything else for years.

ABC says Chock is quite the catch!

Chock may pull a hamstring during a game of kickball, but he's still active and in shape!

Chock actually climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania twice.

Chock's mother, who was battling cancer when Chock filmed The Golden Bachelorette, inspired him to find love again and live life to the fullest.

Jesse Palmer has sized up Chock

Jesse, host of The Golden Bachelorette, recently told Us Weekly how there was an obvious "chemistry" and "connection" between Chock and Joan while filming the show.

"Chock was someone right away, when I was talking to him off camera, [I could tell] he's a man's man and he is an alpha -- that's just kind of how I put it," Jesse shared with the magazine.

Jesse added how Chock is "a leader of men."

"[He's] someone who's wildly successful professionally and also has a really touching and unique personal story to him as well," Jesse said.

Kaitlyn Bristowe predicted Chock would be one of Joan's Final 2 bachelors

On The Golden Bachelorette's October 9 episode, Kaitlyn hosted a striptease group date for a handful of Joan's senior suitors, including Chock.

Kaitlyn, who starred on The Bachelorette's eleventh season, later sized up the competition and picked which two men seemed to have the strongest connection with Joan.

"I was so dialed. I was watching every move because I wanted to see, without her telling me -- also I don't like spoilers for any show -- who she had the best connection with," Kaitlyn said during the October 10 episode of SiriusXM's "Love to See It With Emma and Claire" podcast.

She added, "[Pascal Ibgui] and Chock to me, I saw the most chemistry with."

Kaitlyn noted that she "definitely" saw sparks between Joan and Chock, in particular.

"That's clearly undeniable on TV and off TV," Kaitlyn gushed. "The chemistry there is -- I just think they're so sweet together and I watched them interact."

Joan Vassos shared her take on Chock's "aggressive" dating approach

"Over the years, I do notice about certain The Bachelor series or journeys, is that every once in a while, one guy or one girl pops out that is just more aggressive -- just tries a little harder to have random interactions," Joan said on "The Viall Files" podcast.

"You see them every once in a while, that they came there for a reason. They're fine having found friends, and that's a good part of [this]. It's like a bonus to this journey."

Joan continued, "But they are there for a reason, and I think... it's evident that Chock is one of those people."

Chock apparently knew the names of all of Joan's four children when they first met.

"I knew that I was important to him. He made me a priority," Joan said.

She added, "He knew the names of all four of my kids! Some people might call that creepy, but some people, like me, thought, 'Wow, he is really interested.'"
