David Hasselhoff Spotted For First Time Since Late Ex-Wife Pamela Bach’s Death

David Hasselhoff was seen recently with a friend; he had on a black T-shirt, black pants, and sneakers, with a plain blue baseball cap over his face. The unusual public appearance comes after the family’s statement following Bach’s death, in which they asked for privacy as they struggled to come to terms with their loss.

A household name for decades, Hasselhoff first gained fame in the 1980s as Michael Knight in Knight Rider, then became the recognizable face of Baywatch, one of the planet’s most-watched television shows. While his professional life has been a success, his private life has seen its own ups and downs, including his divorce from Bach.

What was the cause of David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife’s death?

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Pamela Bach had killed herself; it was a self-inflicted gunshot to the head. Actress Pamela Bach, 62, was found dead in her Hollywood Hills home on the evening of March 5, 2025. Officials were summoned at around 10 PM regarding an unconscious woman, but although paramedics tried to treat her, she was declared dead on arrival.

Hasselhoff and Bach were together for nearly two decades, getting married in 1989 and divorcing in 2006. They had two daughters, Taylor and Hayley, from the union, but things did not end well. Their battles in the courtroom persisted for years, with disagreements on child support lasting well into 2017.

After the separation, there was tension about money, with Bach demanding increased payments from Hasselhoff for child support. The endless issues generally occurred in court, where they made news as the estranged couple attempted to negotiate.
