Joan previously admitted that she never planned to move to be with someone. “I think you almost have to live a double life,” she told CNN in May 2024. “I will never leave my family.” For me, of course, they are the most important people in the world. I would expect this to also apply to the person I'm with because family is so important to me. That would have to be an essential part of her personality.”

She later said that she wouldn't mind being in a long-distance relationship. “I don’t think it’s a negative thing,” she said Us weekly in October 2024. “It could be really fun.”

For some reason I was living in a dream world. He was dying and I pretended it wasn't happening. I just couldn't accept that he wouldn't be here anymore. He was getting worse and worse.”

John died at home while Joan was in another room. “I wasn't with him, which feels terrible to me,” she shared. “But again I thought he would survive. I sat with him for a minute and said a few prayers.”

Chock was now married to his first wife Heatherwith whom he has two children for 12 years. He then became engaged to Katherine “Kathy” Elizabeth White Goree, who died in 2022 as a result of a brain tumor.
