Guy and Vassos reunited during the finale's live show and they both told each other how much they were looking forward to seeing each other again. Guy candidly asked her if there was anything he missed during their time together and Vassos told him that it came down to \"timing.\"

\"It was really, really hard to say goodbye in the end because in any situation, I would have been with you,\" she said. \"But there was a time element in this that I had to make a decision and my heart just belonged to someone else already.\"

In the end, there were no hard feelings between them and Vassos told Guy that she wanted to remain friends with him and hoped they could \"double date\" in the future.

What's next for Chock and Vassos?

During their interview in front of the live studio audience, Chock and Vassos opened up about how relieved they are to finally be able to share their relationship with the rest of the world.

\"It's so nice to finally be able to share our love and our story,\" Vassos said.

\"It's just been an incredible ride with Joan, and I couldn't be happier,\" Chock said. \"And I want the world to know it.\"

When show host Jesse Palmer asked Vassos and Chock what they want others to take away from their story, Vassos said it's to \"take a leap of faith and find your person out there.\"

\"Everybody deserves to have love and to give love and I hope watching our journey inspired you a little bit,\" she said.

\"Just keep your eyes and your ears open and see what's out there and risk love,\" Chock added.

In the end, Vassos and Chock were surprised with a trip to Walt Disney World to spend time together and with their families.
