Who Is Guy Gansert on ‘The Golden Bachelorette’?
Guy works as an emergency room doctor at Northern Nevada Emergency Physicians in Reno, Nevada, according to his LinkedIn. He previously went to college at the University of Nevada, Reno, and med school at the university’s School of Medicine. He then specialized in emergency medicine at the University of Louisville and has dedicated 40 years to his career.
The healthcare professional has four children with his ex-wife, Heidi Gansert, a politician in Nevada. He also has one grandchild.
Guy and Heidi were married for 34 years but divorced in 2021. That October, Heidi filed an Application for Temporary Protective Order against Guy. “He pointed his finger like a gun then ‘shot’ at me,” she claimed in the docs. “He motioned like he was going to shoot me with his hand shaped like a pistol.” Heidi also accused her ex of sending her “stacks” of text messages that “turned to anger.”
However, Heidi filed to withdraw her application in November 2021, so the protective order was not granted. In September 2024, amid Guy’s journey on The Golden Bachelorette, he and Heidi filed a joint request to seal the documents, but a judge denied it.
“My divorce was extremely difficult for me and led me to a very low point in my life and as a result I acted in a way that does not represent who I am,” Guy explained. “The past few years have caused me to conduct a deep personal evaluation, and I will always continue to work to improve myself.”
Who Is Chock Chapple on ‘The Golden Bachelorette’?
Chock works as an insurance executive in Kansas, per his ABC bio. He has served as the president of Insurance Services Group, LLC, since 2002, according to his LinkedIn. The Kansas native has two children – a daughter named Taylor and son named Tyler. He shares the kids with ex-wife Heather.
Chock and Heather divorced in 2010 after 12 years of marriage. “The marriage relationship of the parties has deteriorated due to a state of incompatibility between the parties and Petitioner is entitled to a decree of divorce on these grounds,” the divorce docs obtained by Life & Style revealed.
After his divorce, Chock was engaged to Katherine “Kathy” Elizabeth White Goree for seven years before her death from brain cancer in January 2022. “About a month out, Kathy sat me down, and she goes, ‘I want you to go on with your life,’” Chock told Joan. “That’s one of the biggest reasons I’m here.”
