How Soon Did Dog The Bounty Hunter Meet Francie Frane After Beth's Death?

Duane Chapman didn’t take long to find love after Beth Chapman died. According to ET, Duane met his sixth wife, Francie Frane, thanks to Francie’s late husband, Bob Frane. Duane contacted Bob — who worked as an excavator — to perform some work at his home in Colorado. However, Francie had to inform Duane that Bob died mere months before Beth. Their spouses’ deaths helped the two form a close bond, and not too long after speaking with one another; they struck up a friendship, and a romance followed soon after. “As soon as I hung up the phone, I called my girlfriend and was like, ‘Are you sitting down right now because you’re not going to believe who I just talked to,'” Francie told the outlet. “She was screaming, ‘I told you!'”

Duane asked Francie out, and she agreed to meet him if he attended church with her. The duo developed a deep bond relatively swiftly, fueled by their shared experiences of grief. “We understood the pain that the other one was feeling, and [in] those tough days and moments, we helped each other stand up. We could cry with each other and talk about what we were feeling,” Francie shared. “We could walk alongside each other through the pain and heartbreak, which brought us together in this amazing way.”

While the two hit it off and eventually married, they still carried the memories of the loved ones they lost.
