Bach and Hasselhoff tied the knot in December 1989 and welcomed two daughters, Taylor and Hayley, into their world. However, their union came undone in January 2006 amidst a contentious divorce, with Bach leveling accusations of domestic abuse against Hasselhoff. A viral video depicting a drunken Hasselhoff consuming a burger led to a temporary suspension of his visitation rights with their daughters. Fortunately, these rights were reinstated after a fortnight. In response to the footage, shot by one of his daughters, Hasselhoff conceded that it captured him during a relapse but vehemently denied the abuse allegations at the time.

Attempts to reach out to David Hasselhoff's representative for comment were met with silence. Notably, Hasselhoff found love again and married model Hayley Roberts in 2018.
