Chockshared a video to his Instagram showing him and Joan attempting a TikTok video. The couple mouths the words to “Pricetag” by Jessie J while reenacting the lyrics. Joan and Chock seemed to struggle hitting the beats, and Chock wrote,“Still getting used to this whole “content” thing.”This behind-the-scenes look into their content creation not only humanizes the stars but also reminds viewers that influencer careers are a newer concept. The idea of making money from video content is likely foreign to a well-established insurance executive like Chock.

I’m convincedJoan and Chock’s constant travels for their relationshipnd paid partnerships have left little time to plan the wedding. On top of these challenging circumstances,they are building their influencer careers.A large social media presence can be more challenging than it seems.

Joan Came To Chock’s Aid

Joan and Chock have been highly supportiveof each other’s endeavors, and when Chock needed eye surgery, Joan rushed to his aid. Chock spoke about the procedure and Joan’s assistance throughout his recovery in an interview posted on bothJoanand Chock’s Instagram accounts. The star states,“Joan came in to take care of me,”after revealing that his refractive lens replacement was done the same day as their interview. Joan pointed out this feat and called her fiancé a“trouper”for pushing through the discomfort and partial but temporary blindness. Chock seemed overjoyed to have Joan at his side.

This surgery may be minimally invasive, but the subsequent blindness posed a problem for the budding influencer. Joan and Chock were kept busy in the hours and potentially days when the patient was rendered sightless. I think expectingany wedding planning during this restful weekend would be unreasonable.Their challenges have not been limited to their personal lives, as their children may have needed some convincing.

Joan & Chock Want Their Family On Board

Joan & Chock Need Their Support System

Joan and Chock, as seniors entering a relationship after the passing of a partner, have received some familial pushback. The couple mentioned, in a since-deleted video posted around Thanksgiving, that they were having trouble integrating their families. Chock insisted that the get-together“went great,”and while Joan agreed, she suggested,“The family part is a little harder, right?”Chock glossed over the statement and changed the subject to their minor squabbles.

Joan and Chock have well-established traditions, and the new relationship likely threw their families off kilter.

Their adult children have grown accustomed to their parents' habits and traditions.The introduction of a new partner, especially after the loss of one, was undoubtedly difficult. It seemed like their families would never get along. Despite this, Joan and Chock came together again for Christmas. This celebration must have changed dynamics as the couple seemed more hopeful about their future.

Joan and Chock have both been incredibly vocal aboutthe significance of their families.Neither would enter a relationship without the support of their loved ones. It was, and is, really important thatJoan and Chock’s kids are comfortable with the marriage. I think Joan and Chock are doing the right thing by taking their time.
