On Thursday, September 2, Duane “Dog” Chapman tied the knot for the sixth time – two years after his wife Beth passed away from throat cancer.

In May of 2020, Dog became engaged to Francie Frane, announcing their engagement through an exclusive interview with The Sun. Dog popped the question in a candlelit room at his home in Colorado and Francie said it was completely unexpected.

The announcement came as a surprise to fans, who had recently learned that Francie and Dog had only been dating a couple of months before going public in early April. But after over a year of being engaged, the couple finally set a wedding date – September 2, 2021.

A few days after the wedding, Chapman shared screenshots of an article from the National Enquirer covering the wedding which included many photos of the big day.
