Hasselhoff's nature walk came just over a year after the tragic death of his second wife and former Baywatch costar, Pamela Bach at the age of 62. She was found dead at her home in March 2025 after taking her own life. Bach was married to Hasselhoff from 1989 until their 2006 divorce and they were parents to daughters Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore, 35, and 33-year-old Hayley Hasselhoff.
A spokesman for Hasselhoff exclusively told the Daily Mail at the time: 'Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff.
'We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time. ' Although they starred together on Baywatch, Hasselhoff and Pamela met earlier, on the set of his science fiction series Knight Rider in 1986. He was married to his costar Catherine Hickland at the time, before they divorced in 1989.
Hasselhoff and Bach reconnected that year when she was cast on Baywatch and they later married in 1989. After his divorce, the actor began dating his wife Hayley - who is from Wales - in 2011 and they got married in Puglia, Italy, in 2018.
