Vᴀssos’ long blonde hair was styled in loose curls and she accessorized with gold hoop earrings.

He appeared to be wearing a white ʙuттon down shirt and a green scarf.

His salt and pepper hair was neatly trimmed and his face was cleanly shaven. 

According to Vᴀssos’ social media, the trip to New York City was part of a celebration for her 62nd birthday. 

‘Had an amazing time celebrating my birthday in NYC!,’ he wrote Wednesday. 

‘Saw our first Broadway show as a couple,’ he explained, and implying the big night out was bonus during a work trip in which he ‘spoke at a retirement home, went to my first @54below show, met with @lorealparis at their corporate offices, and got customized jeans from @aliceandolivia!’

‘So grateful for all these beautiful new memories made with my fiancé and thank you to all our NYC friends for being the best!’

DailyMail.com has learned that Voss’s engagement ring cost a pretty penny, and has a price tag of around $80,000.

According to The Diamond Bank in Los Angeles, the center stone is large enough to warrant that high price.

‘There is a large emerald-cut center stone with two generous tapered diamond baguettes on each side,’ said a spokesperson.

‘That adds up to a lot of carats and a high price,’ it was added.

Vᴀssos flashed the ring after Chapple – they are both 61 – got down on one knee and popped the question on the beach in Bora Bora. She said yes then they both said ‘I love you’ several times.

They are set to celebrate their relationship with a big engagement party in Los Angeles before heading to the East Coast.

‘It’s gonna be bigger than most weddings,’ Chock told Us Weekly of the party in the couple’s first interview on Thursday.

‘We’ve got friends coming in from around the country, and it’s kind of our coming-out party as a couple. We’re extremely excited about that.’

The trip to the Big Apple could involve apartment hunting in New York City, the site added, explaining they want to be close to their children on the East Coast. 

Vᴀssos, who is from Maryland , had narrowed the 24 contestants down to two – Chock and Guy Gansert, 66, heading into the finale.

She had promised herself that she would never say ‘I love you’ until the end of her journey, which happened on the finale.

She was slated to have final dates with both Chock and Guy, both of whom would meet her son and daughter, along with their significant others.

That didn’t happen, though, with Joan making up her mind after the first date… leaving the other finalist heartbroken.

She ultimately chose Chock after his final date with her, telling Guy the next day that her, ‘heart belonged to someone else.’

He told her, ‘I made the decision that when I spoke with your kids, I was going to tell them that I had fallen in love with you and then I was going to get down on a knee and I was going to ask you to marry me.’

‘I really thought this was gonna happen,’ Guy said in confession, as Joan told him, ‘You’ll always be a part of my life.’

‘Of course I’ll marry you,’ Joan said.

Joan then picked up the final rose and asked if he would accept it.

‘Absolutely with all my love,’ Chock said.

Joan then called her mother and showed her Chock and said he was her fiancé.

‘I’m the luckiest guy in the world,’ Chock said.

Chock and Joan then rode off on a boat kissing each other.
