The reality TV star continued, “We know that we’re gonna spend time in Maryland and in Kansas, but then we have this really fun plan because both of us have always dreamed and we’re finally at this weird stage in life for making this dream come true that we live in a big city, and, specifically, we’ve always wanted to live in New York. So Chock surprised me and said, I want us to go find a place."

Chock Chapple’s two children, Taylor and Tyler Chapple, whom he shares with his ex-wife Heather, also live on the East Coast. “That makes the decision maybe a little bit easier. And I don’t think I’d ever thought I would say this, but I’m excited to go and spend time in Kansas too!”Joan said.
“He has a great life there and he has great friends, and I am dying to go and just hang out with them. He’s out, like, every night of the week, and I can hear the hubbub in the background of all his friends, you know, having a good time. So I’m excited to go to Kansas," she added.
During the same interview, Chock expressed that he would never ask Joan to move far from her family in Maryland. Joan is a doting mother to her four kids: Nick, Erica, Allison, and Luke whom she welcomed with her late husband John Vassos. Chock chimed in, “We’re gonna navigate it. We’re willing to spend time at each person’s hometown. We’re gonna spend a lot of time in New York City. We’re gonna get on with our lives.”
