Despite their 28-year age gap, the two have always spoke on social media and in interviews about how happy they are. Hasselhoff has even talked about how great he feels, both mentally and physically in their marriage. In a 2022 interview, after celebrating his birthday, he told PEOPLE, “At 70, life is just beginning for me. Seventy is about enjoying life as a person ... I’m reborn.” A few years prior, Hasselhoff spoke to PEOPLE about his life and career and raved that their relationship was “so easy and great.” “To have somebody there to support me who isn’t in the industry, and who tells me the truth – she tells me the truth,” he said. “Because the people in this industry a lot of times don’t tell you the truth, and that’s what gets you in trouble.” So who is David Hasselhoff's wife? Here is everything there is to know about Hayley Roberts and her relationship with the actor. She’s from Wales David Hasselhoff and Hayley Roberts during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

When they met in 2011, she was living with her family in Glynneath, near Swansea, Wales. She approached him Hayley Roberts and David Hasselhoff at the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Chris Jackson/Getty The couple got engaged in 2016 during a romantic picnic on the beach in Malibu, California. After the proposal, Roberts told Hello! that they “were both in tears,” saying, “I genuinely had no idea he was going to do that.” She went on to say that, at first, she thought he was “just joking around” about getting married. “He’s asked me before, but it was never for real,” she continued. “Then he pulled out the ring. I cried so hard that he didn’t get around to actually asking, ‘Will you marry me?’ until about 10 minutes later.” “I’ve asked her to marry me before but those times were for fun,” Hasselhoff added. “This time, it was special and from my heart.” He went on to explain why he popped the question, explaining, “I had a saying, ‘You don’t get married because you want to live with someone, you get married because you can’t live without them.’ I felt that way. I knew that I was really unhappy without her. I waited to propose because I thought I was too old for her.” They got married in 2018 About two years after getting engaged, Hasselhoff and Roberts got married in 2018 in Italy. They had a small ceremony in Puglia with family members and close friends. When Hasselhoff met Roberts, he was already a father to his two daughters Taylor and Hayley, whom he welcomed with his ex-wife Pamela Bach. Both Taylor and Hayley attended their dad's wedding to Roberts. On their one-year anniversary in July 2019, Roberts posted a photo of the two of them on Instagram from their wedding day. “It was our wedding but it was the best wedding we have been to," she captioned the post. “I chose the perfect man to be my husband so kind, thoughtful with a huge heart and one of the nicest people I know. I am so lucky and still in love with this man.” She’s family-oriented David Hasselhoff and wife Hayley Roberts at the premiere of The Mule in 2018.

In one Instagram post featuring a photo of herself and her dad walking down the aisle at her wedding, Roberts wrote, “I was lucky enough to have gotten brought up in the most amazing family.” She added, “Seriously I wouldn’t change a thing about my life, growing up with my mum, dad, brother, and two sisters always made fun out of every boring situation.” She loves to travel David Hasselhoff and Hayley Roberts during the 61st Monte Carlo TV Festival in 2022.

Rodriguez/Getty In an interview with Hello! where the couple announced their engagement, Hasselhoff admitted that their age difference was one thing that had been holding him back from marrying her, but she didn’t feel the same way. “I don’t worry about it,” Roberts said. “I don’t want to miss out on being with someone I love because of what might happen down the line.” In another interview with OK! magazine via The Sun, Roberts said that she barely even notices the 28 year age gap. “David acts so much younger, he doesn’t see his age,” she said. “I’m probably older than my years. I don’t feel like he’s that much older than me.” She has his daughters’ approval Taylor Ann Hasselhoff, David Hasselhoff and Hayley Hasselhoff at the premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in 2017.

No one wants to see their parents split up. But they love Hayley and they’re just happy for me.”
