Bach-Hasselhoff’s Divorce
Bach-Hasselhoff and Hasselhoff’s 2006 divorce was a bitter one. He publicly complained many times about the alimony that he had to pay her. In 2017, he claimed that he had paid her over $2.5 million since they split. They then agreed that he would pay her $5,000 a month, a number that was reduced from as much as $21,000. Hasselhoff was eventually able to argue that number down by alleging that his income had been greatly reduced.
We can only imagine what Hasselhoff and his daughters are going through today as they struggle to make sense of this tragedy. Please join us in saying a prayer for them.
