After 7-year relationship David Hasselhoff to finally tie the knot with girlfriend Hayley Roberts in Italy
'Baywatch' star David Hasselhoff will be ready to settle down and tie the knot soon. The 65-year-old will reportedly be marrying his girlfriend Hayley Roberts in a small and private ceremony which will take place in southern Italy on July 31. The couple has been together for seven years and decided to take their relationship to the next level by getting engaged in the year 2016.
However, David had previously admitted that he would not marry the 37-year-old due to the large age gap between them. In the year 2015 the actor admitted, "To be honest, the reason I haven’t got married yet is that I know it’s not going to be a perfect relationship. We’re not going to grow old together, let’s face it".
David told Hello! magazine, "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".
As his feelings for Hayley got more intense, he changed his mind on the subject and said, "I don't want her to get away. I want to trap her, because this is the one that I really love. When I got down on my knees and said, 'Will you marry me?' It was from my heart. It wasn't an ultimatum. My other marriages were kind of like, well, you've got to get married, or there was an ultimatum. This one is something that I wanted to do".
David revealed that he is already sporting a wedding ring ahead of the upcoming ceremony and shared, "This ring that I've got is really special. It's my mom and dad's. I wear it for luck and I wear it for remembrance and so I thought, you know, it's nice. I don't have to go out and get another ring. I'll just keep this one". Hayley is a Welsh model who is reportedly working as a sales assistant in a Debenhams department store and the couple look like they are ready for the plunge.
When the couple announced their engagement in the year 2016 via Hello! magazine, Hayley said, "We were both in tears. I genuinely had no idea he was going to do that. I'm still so overwhelmed. I thought he was just joking around at first. He's asked me before, but it was never for real. 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 ten minutes later".
When it comes to their age gap, Hayley revealed that she does not let it bother her and shared, "I don't worry about it. I don’t want to miss out on being with someone I love because of what might happen down the line". David has been divorced two times before now and had let his two daughters Hayley Hasselhoff and Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff in on his plans. David had a difficult few months prior to his decision to get married as he lost his father.
Hayley and David met when he was filming the auditions for the reality show 'Britain's Got Talent' where he served as the judge. Hayley approached him for an autograph and he obliged her on the condition that she give him her phone number. The couple started dating soon after that and fell in love with each other. Hayley has also spent time with David's daughters.
According to ET, David shared some plans for his upcoming wedding and said, "We're gonna get married on the 31st in Italy. My birthday is on Tuesday and then we shoot out to the UK and a few places and then we're gonna get married at a very small wedding with her family from Wales in Puglia, which is in southern Italy," adding, "And then from there we're gonna go to the Maldives and we'll stay underwater for about two weeks".
Recently, the couple was seen walking down the red carpet at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood and looked absolutely in love with each other. David was seen sporting a pair of light blue pants along with a matching vest and a button-down shirt which showed off his chest. Hayley, on the other hand, was seen in a polka dot sundress that showed her lean but curvy figure.
The couple was also seen together on the red carpet of Bruce Willis' Comedy Central Roast and were spotted getting a bit handsy with each other. The 65-year-old star kissed his fiance's cheek as she smiled at the camera. He had his fingers around Hayley's chin and seemed to get a mouthful while he kissed the side of her face. David was seen in a blue sports coat and trousers while Hayley was seen sporting a sexy black dress which showed off her toned torso.
He also praised his wife-to-be and revealed that he was hesitant to attend the roast. "You know, I was kind of on the fence about coming, because I've done this before, it's pretty brutal. And she walked in the room dressed like that and I said, 'We're going," he revealed.
