Hasselhoff has two daughters with his ex-wife Pamela Bach : Taylor, 34, and Hayley , 31.

He and his family starred in a short-lived reality TV show called " The Hasselhoffs ." Still, in a conversation with The Guardian , he revealed he valued privacy above all when raising them, especially when they were young girls.

"When my daughters were growing up we tried to keep life as normal as possible," he said. "When I was at home, I was Dad. I took them to swimming and soccer and did all the dad stuff and when I was away working I think they thought I was just hanging out at the beach or visiting Germany for fun."

He and Bach divorced in 2006 after 16 years of marriage. He was previously married to Catherine Hickland and is now married to Hayley Roberts .
