Summary

Joan, the star of The Golden Bachelorette, has directly addressed and debunked circulating rumors suggesting she had passed away in an accident. Speaking on December 8, 2025, she stated clearly, "I didn't die," putting an end to alarming speculation. This clarification also extended to her relationship status with fiancé Chock Chapple, whom she got engaged to in November 2024.
Dispelling further rumors, Joan confirmed that she and Chock have not broken up. She explained that the recent buzz was sparked by a Thanksgiving-themed gratitude post on social media. In her post, she mentioned being thankful for family and friends, and since she considers Chock family, she did not feel the need to name him individually, which unfortunately led to widespread assumptions about a breakup.
