Dog the Bounty Hunter’s fiancee Francie Frane wishes his granddaughter Abbie a happy 18th birthday and posts sweet photo
DOG the Bounty Hunter’s fiancee Francie Frane wished his granddaughter Abbie a happy 18th birthday and posted a sweet photo on Friday.
The picture shows Francie – whose was revealed in May – and Abbie cuddling up .
Francie captioned the cute snap: “We Love You Abbie Girl.”
Dog posted his own photo of the trio together and wrote: “Happy 18th Birthday Abbie. We love you & we are so proud of you”.
Abbie’s mother is Dog’s 33-year-old daughter Lyssa Chapman, who was 15 when she gave birth to the blonde beauty.
A father of 12, Dog has been married five times and welcomed daughter Lyssa with his third wife, Lyssa Rae Brittain, to whom he was married from 1982 to 1991.
He’s now engaged to Francie after losing wife Beth Smith to cancer last year, and they plan on getting hitched once large gatherings are allowed again amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Dog the Bounty Hunter recently reconnected with Lyssa and Abbie after not speaking to them for months due to having a strained relationship with his daughter after she voiced concerns about him moving on too quickly with ex girlfriend Moon Angell.
He called up his daughter as his granddaughter fulfilled his late wife Beth’s final wishes and joined the US Air Force.
Abbie graduated from high school at 16 and was sworn into the Air Force earlier this year.
Lyssa credited her , who died from cancer last June, with encouraging Abbie to join the military after she was having cold feet.
: ”He called and we just chatted and I updated him about Abbie and told him I love him.
“He said, ‘I need to talk to my daughter and my granddaughters.’
“I told him of course and then Abbie spoke to him later in the day.”
She added: “You know we still have a long way to go and obviously we are not together but family will always be family.
“It’s just about finding that middle ground where everyone feels comfortable.
“But it was good timing that he reached out right before Abbie left.”
