DOG The Bounty Hunter said there would never be another Mrs Dog, after his beloved Beth Chapman died last year.
The 51-year-old rancher from Colorado met Dog after he reached out to Francie’s husband Bob to do some work at his Colorado home.
Sadly, Francie had to break the news to Dog, 67, that Bob had died several months before Beth.
They moved in together earlier this year and kept their romance a secret, only revealing it to the public in March.
Many people criticized them for getting together so soon after Beth died, but his family sprung to his defense.
Beth died in late June 2019 at the age of 51 after sadly losing her battle with throat cancer.
Speaking on her new engagement, Francie said Dog got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.
In response to his proposal, she said: “Who can say no to that? It was wonderful.”
She shared the happy news on her Instagram page, showing her ring and writing: “So excited for this new chapter!”
Beth was a bounty hunter and reality star who co-starred with her husband on the reality television shows, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Dog and Beth: On the Hunt, and Dog’s Most Wanted.
Chapman was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017, which had spread to her lungs by 2019.
While filming their new show, Dog’s Most Wanted, she was hospitalized and placed in a medically induced coma.
Dog previously told The Sun “there’ll never be another Mrs. Dog,” referring to his deceased wife Beth Chapman.
Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth Chapman’s rise to fame
Beth and her husband were the stars of the hit A&E reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, which documented their family-owned bounty hunting business. The show aired from August 2004 to June 2012. Despite her cancer battle, Beth agreed to film the new WGN series Dog’s Most Wanted alongside her husband. It was supposed to air this fall, but at this time it’s not clear if the show will still go on.
Beth also got married, to Dogs old friend, Keith Barmore, but Dog and Beth were still seeing one another. “I was the other woman through three wives. Two wives, and one really good girlfriend,” Beth told ODonnell.
Dog and his children moved into Beths house, but Dog was still using drugs and had health problems, including kidney stones. “If Beth hadnt saved me, Im not sure I would have survived those years,” he wrote in You Can Run, But You Cant Hide. By 1997, Dog was off drugs and the two of them started growing their bail bonds business.
That next year, in September 2017, Dog and Beth faced another setback. News emerged that Beth was diagnosed with Stage 2 throat cancer. “I will fight every step of the way,” she reportedly wrote in a letter to loved ones. “My husband and children are counting on me to be there for years to come.” She underwent 12 hours of surgery to remove a plum-sized tumor from her neck.
Later that year, they moved to CMT for the show Dog and Beth: On the Hunt. But in 2016, the couple took a break from television, ending the series after three seasons to support Beths bid for the president of the Professional Bail Agents of the United States. She ended up winning the election.
Beths father called Dog to bail her out of jail. But Beth refused to go to Dogs office to do paperwork—until he threatened to put her back behind bars if she didnt comply. But as soon as she showed up and saw what he looked like, she knew he was the guy for her. “He came walking out there, and I said, Oh yes, he will be mine. Let the stalking begin,” she told ODonnell.
