Duane “Dog The Bounty Hunter” Chapman and longtime girlfriend, Beth Smith were married on the Big Island of Hawaii over the weekend. The two have been together for 16 years and have two children together. People Magazine reports:
Besides his trademark mullet, Chapman wore white jeans to match his white leather vest, boots and American Indian jewelry, representing his heritage. Boris Krutonog, the show’s co-executive producer, was his best man.Smith wore an off-white lace gown with nude backing designed by Eduardo Lucero,

Holy smokes what size is her chest? I bet she can set a plate on them and eat her food..
You forgot to mention his 23 year old daughter was killed in a car crash the same weekend and they continued the wedding in her honor. So sad ;(
They have 3 kids together, Cicely, Bonnie Jo and Garry are their kids together.
Cecily Barmore Chapman: Born c.1992/1993. Father is Keith Barmore. Mother is Beth Smith
i think i read an article that said he either has 10 or 12 children all together.
On the show they say he has 11 kids! I love them both though! Even though they exude the 80s they are great!!!
awwww, ain’t they just purdy! HA HA
she looks like a heavy Pam Anderson.
I heard their daughter was killed in a car accident the day before the wedding as well….
sad.
That’s so sad about his daughter - I hadn’t heard about that. =(
Like one other person pointed out you forget to share the part about his 23 yr old daughter Barbara Katy Chapmen being killed Friday night in Fairbanks, Alaksa.
They cleared it the kids and preacher before going through with the wedding.
And he’s got 12 kids, 10 of which are surviving I believe.
And according to Beth, they’ve got two kids together, and are raising two 3 year old grandkids.
Because of the young kids, they are planning on moving into a bigger and safer house soon, now that they are making money. (they were broke during the first season)
(sorry, I did a search on him after I heard about the wedding and loss of his daughter)
aaww thanks for posting this hotmomma….i love them!!!! so sorry to hear about their daughter, what a shame they are such good people.
i might get backlash on this but, i think leland is just hot! haha i dont know what it is but i find something very appealing about him and hes def not my usual type!
He has 11 kids, 10 living and one in jail.
Sorry but the full story is too long to type a second time. Check out Crystal’s HotSpot. Hot Momma has a link under her favorites.
I guess she was in a stolen car and 3 people died in the accident.
Crystal, I read your story on him, however all it says is his brief history, where he was born, that he served time in jail, and that he caught Luster who lead to his show on A&E.
Here are other tidbits I have found on him in a simple search of him:
Children:
Although some biographies list Duane as having twelve children, we could only find documentation on ten children.
Duane Lee Chapman II. Along with a business in financial and retirement consulting, Duane works with his father as a bounty hunter. He is married to Teresa and they have four children: Jodi, Jasmine, Jennifer, and Dylan. They live in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Leland Blaine Chapman was born on December 14, 1976. Leland works with his father in the bail bonds business and has also been a professional boxer, kick boxer, and extreme fighter. He is married to Maui and has two sons, Dakota and Cobie.
Barbara Katy Chapman. Born in Denver, Colorado, she died at age 23 on May 19, 2006 in Fairbanks, Alaska in a high speed car accident involving drugs. Her mother is Lyssa Greene. Barbara left a four-year old child, Travis
Drake-Lee Chapman.
Lyssa Chapman
Tucker Chapman, serving 20 years in prison for armed robbery.
Christopher Chapman

Cecily Chapman
Bonnie Jo Chapman. Mother is Beth Smith.
Gary Chapman. Mother is Beth Smith.
Beth is the mother of three children. She lost custody of her first child. She has two children with Duane: Bonnie Jo and Gary.
Previous Marriages:
Information about their previous marriages is sketchy.
Beth was married to a guy who was addicted to heroin. The marriage ended in divorce.
Duane has been married three times:
* Lyssa Greene. Their marriage ended in divorce. They have two children.
* Tawny ?. Their marriage ended in divorce.
* La Fonda ?. First wife. Their marriage ended in divorce while he was in prison. They have two children.

There is also more on his backgorund including his arrest for murder, and what got him started in bounty hunting at Wikipedia
Kim the stories are showing drugs were involved….
sad.
Oh yeah, for those curious, Beth wears a M cup for a bra, it is custom made for her.
*ouch*

Per an interview with “Dog”:
KAGAN: And this isn’t just you. This is you, your wife, and did I read right, you have 12 children?
CHAPMAN: Right now, all 12 of the kids are not on the show. But some of the older ones are, and my brother and, yes, my wife, Beth, and my youngest kids are my cheering section. So it is definitely a family affair.

Funny:
Q. Why the Nickname?
A: When I was 16 I was in the Devil’s Disciples, a motorcycle gang. They wanted to rob a church and paperboys, and I said I couldn’t do that ’cause God would strike me dead. The leader of the club said, “You talk about God a lot, and you’re always there like man’s best friend. Dog is God backward.” I’ve had the name ever since.

If you think bounty hunters are a thing of the past, there’s someone we’d like you to meet.
Cicely is Beth and Duane’s child. There was a whole episode where she talks about losing her first child and Cicely being her second chance.
Beth is the mother of three children. She lost custody of her first child. She has two children with Duane: Bonnie Jo and Gary.
Ever heard of Breast reduction, yikes.
Very sad about his daughter, how terrible.
lol I have the same feelings for Leland!! He is so hot! But I am not sure why, not my usual type either at all. My sister laughs when I drool over him on the show! lol
leland def has a certain sexiness…
I agree on Leland…not sure what it is, but there’s something sexy about him!
Leland is so freakin’ hot! I love the show. I thought they were already married, he always calles her his ‘wife’.
i love that some people feel the same way i do about leland i get laughed at too!! i think it may have something to do with his personality hes also got a killer smile.
leland lover over here as well. jusr curious, whats hotmomma’s take on him?
yah I could do Leland !!!
She def needs a breast reduc. must be killer on her back!
The info on about.com is a bit off. Beth has 4 children. The oldest, Dominic, was the one that she gave up custody because she was young and couldn’t take care of him. Cecily is Beth’s child with her ex-husband, Keith. Duane is raising Cecily as his own so I assume she is considered one of the 12 kids. Duane also had a son, Zedediah, who was born premature and died. I assume this child is one of the 12 as well… By my count that’s only 11 (including Cecily) so I don’t know where the missing kid is! What the heck is “10 living and one in jail” supposed to mean?? Just because someone is in jail doesn’t mean they don’t exist! Sheesh! I read somewhere that Tucker is getting out of jail soon (if he’s not out already) so hopefully y’all will include him as one of Duane’s kids again…
