Dog the Bounty Hunter Cast/ Children Family Update 2023
The American reality television series - Dog the Bounty Hunter chronicled Duane ‘Dog’
Chapman's experiences as a bounty hunter, who chased down America's most wanted fugitives
alongside his late wife, Beth, and a reliable team that also included his children.
After being on air for 8 years, the show got canceled back in 2012.
So, let’s rewind and find out what the Chapman patriarch and his family have been up to in
recent times.
Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman
The self-confessed ‘greatest bounty hunter in the world, ‘Dog’ officially traded
the mountains for the beach after selling his 9-acre property in Colorado at the end
of last year, where he lived with Beth for a decade before she lost a battle with throat
cancer at 51.
Situated at Castle Rock, the 6,200-square-foot mansion with six bedrooms and five baths was
reportedly sold for $1.59 million.
The 70-year-old now lives in Florida with his wife - Francie Frane.
The reality star’s much-anticipated series - Dog Unleashed was called off in 2021 before
it aired on the streaming service Unleashed TV.
In October 2021 the production company sued him for breach of contract saying the cancellation
happened because Dog allegedly made racist and homophobic outbursts and illegally used
a taser during a shoot in Virginia.
The former bail bondsman hasn’t gone completely off the reality TV scene though, as he masked
himself up as Armadillo for - The Masked Singer last year and said his late wife would be
proud of him for doing the show.
**Leland = Lee- land ** Da Kine = the kin-ye
**Kama'aina = Kama - eye - na
Leland Chapman
Leland became well known because of his famous father's bounty-hunting series.
The heavily tattooed star is happily married to his second wife, Jamie Pilar Worley, quashing
previous rumors that their relationship was in trouble.
Leland regularly posts on his Instagram, detailing his life as a husband and father of a daughter,
Leiah, and two sons; Cobie and Dakota.
He runs his own bail bond company, Kama'aina Bail Bonds on the Big Island of Hawaii as
well as his father's business, Da Kine (the kin-ye) Bail Bonds in Oahu.
Duane Lee Chapman Jr.
It’s been more than a decade since viewers last saw Duane Lee Jr. on TV.
In 2012, the reality star requested a new pay schedule, citing disagreement over money,
saying he was ‘underpaid’ and ‘overworked’.
Unfortunately, his grievances were never addressed, prompting him to quit.
Since then, the former reality star has relocated to Florida, where he started his own bail
bondsman business, while also working as a financial advisor on the side.
Garry ‘Boy’ Chapman
Dog and Beth’s youngest son, Garry made his debut on his family’s show, appearing
in 28 episodes.
His world changed forever with the death of his mother, who he often mourns on social
media.
The multi-faceted personality is also a certified scuba instructor and previously was a cheerleader
for his Colorado high school.
Garry's active lifestyle got abruptly halted after he got into a four-wheeler accident
in 2020, suffering a concussion and fractured tailbone.
If his Instagram is any indication, he has been on a path of recovery and self-discovery
ever since.
Tim ‘Youngblood’ Chapman
For five seasons, Tim ‘Youngblood’ was Dog's partner in tackling crime, though he
isn't an actual member of the Chapman family and shares no blood relations with them‌.
It’s just a coincidence the duo shares the same surname although they refer to each other
as ‘blood brothers.’
He divorced his wife Davina in 2009 for allegedly cheating on him and hasn’t made his relationships
public ever since.
After years of legal trouble and a fast-paced job hunting criminals, it looks like the father-of-5
wants to live the rest of his life away from the spotlight.
Cecily = sess-lee (not seh-sill-ee)
Cecily Barmore Chapman
For reality star Cecily Barmore, moving on after her mother’s death wasn’t easy;
it's been a bumpy road for the TV personality with a called-off wedding, family feuds, and
even an arrest for domestic violence.
But now she seems to be in a much better place.
Cecily appears to be living her best life on social media and also posts regular content
on her OnlyFans account.
Cecily and sister Bonnie recently filed a lawsuit against Rainy Robinson - who was their
mother’s best friend and co-star, citing claims that she was actively running a charity
fund bearing Beth’s name falsely promising to transfer ownership of the fund to the girls.
In their lawsuit, the two girls allege that Rainy began soliciting donations shortly after
Beth's death from cancer in 2019 and are seeking at least $50,000 in damages.
Dog, who has been embroiled in a bitter feud with Cecily and Bonnie, slammed the lawsuit
saying, “It’s a bogus claim.”
Bonnie Jo Chapman
Bonnie was an integral part of the series throughout its run.
Her complicated relationship with her father came to light in Bonnie’s May 2021 interview
with the Daily Beast.
The piece profiled her activism work with Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ rights movements,
and also included her accusation that her famous father had used homophobic and racist
language, which is allegedly what got him axed from Unleashed TV.
On the professional front, Bonnie seems to be spreading her wings as a budding influencer,
TV producer, and makeup artist.
She was also previously a part of Unleashed TV's - The System, a show that focused on
social justice.
Lyssa = the regular name Lisa (not lissa)
Lyssa Rae ‘Baby’ Chapman
Five years after getting engaged, Lyssa finally tied the knot with her partner Leiana Evensen
on a beach in Hawaii last June.
Although she confessed her father wasn't at the wedding in person, she said he was there
as much as he could be through phone calls and video chats.
“It was literally a dream day.
The best part is Leiana is my freaking WIFE !! I’m so happy, blessed, filled with love
and gratitude,” she wrote in part while posting swoon-worthy photos from the ceremony.
Earlier this January, Baby took to Instagram and revealed that her young daughter, Madalynn
Grace, who she shares with ex-husband Brahman Galanti, had an accident at a gym and underwent
surgery to fix her elbow.
Justin Bihag
Though unrelated to Dog, Justin Bihag, who calls himself the TV star's nephew, has been
writing a no-holds-barred tell-all book titled - The Right Side which promises to spill some
shocking details about their now fractured relationship.
For the unversed, Justin sued A&E network and the Dog the Bounty Hunter cast members
in 2014 for low pay and unpaid appearances.
He further explained that he suffered from depression from the ordeal, became addicted
to drugs, and lost custody of his child.
Unfortunately for Bihag, his problems continued in 2020, after he was arrested for violating
probation related to a previous domestic violence charge.
