Reality star Dog The Bounty Hunter has discovered that he has a secret son – and he was born on the anniversary of his late wife Beth Chapman's death.
Dog, real name Duane Chapman, was left heartbroken in 2019 when his beloved with Beth died at the age of 51 after a tough battle with cancer.
But the anniversary of her death, June 26, may now bring some happiness to Dog, as he has revealed he has a secret son born on the same day.

Duane introduced his newly discovered family member Jon on Monday (June 26).
He told fans: "For the last four years, this day was a terrible reminder of one of the greatest losses of my life.
"But God redeemed this day when I discovered my son Jon, who I just met recently, was born on this day."
He went on: "So now instead of sorrow, this day has a new meaning. This is my son Jon and his wife Jodi."
Duane shared a snap of his son, who is grown up, and they share a number of similarities.
Both he and his dad have muscular frames and tattoos on their arms.
Jon could be seen in a pair of dark blue jeans and a navy polo shirt, as well as some black sunglasses and a grey cap.
He posed with his wife Jodi, who wore a polka dot off-the-shoulder top and indigo jeans.
Duane then revealed that there is even more to the story – but fans will have to dig into their pockets a little bit.
He said: "The whole story of Jon is told in my new book, Nine Lives and Counting, coming soon."
The 70-year-old went on: "For anyone who has suffered a terrible loss please know God restores and redeems.
"Happy birthday son, love you both."
With Jon, Duane has 13 children to a number of marriages and romances.
He is currently married to Francie Frane, to whom he got engaged 10 months after Beth's dead.
They married in September 2021.
