Frane is a 51-year-old rancher from Colorado, The Sun has revealed, and have been dating ‘for a few months’.
The pair allegedly bonded after helping each other cope with the grief of losing their respective spouses, with Francie’s husband Bob passing away ‘several months before Beth’.
Meanwhile Beth’s biological daughter Bonnie Chapman took to the post’s comment’s section to launch a full-throated defense of her dad’s romance.
‘Everyone who’s judging my father should sure pray that they never have to lose their loved one and get judged for trying to fill the void,’ wrote the 21-year-old.
‘Your opinion is invalid. My mother would’ve wanted him to be happy. Now please shut up and let me my dad live in peace.’
Duane tragically lost his wife of 13 years to throat cancer last summer.

Beth’s health ordeals began in September 2017, when she was diagnosed with Stage 2 throat cancer.
After treatment, the cancer initially went into remission, but it later returned and spread to her lungs.
Nevertheless, Beth continued filming Dog’s Most Wanted at her husband’s side in early 2019.
During filming on June 22, she suffered a medical emergency and had to be hospitalized and placed into a medically induced coma, before dying four days later on June 26.

Shock: Duane’s new romance comes weeks after his fake proposal to his longtime assistant Moon Angell on an episode of The Dr. Oz Show
Duane’s new romance comes weeks after his fake proposal to his longtime assistant Moon Angell on an episode of The Dr. Oz Show.
The bounty hunter appeared to propose to Moon, which she turned down on the spot in front of a flabbergasted Dr. Oz.
Earlier in February, Dog told Entertainment Tonight that he carried on the fake proposal because: ‘I am very lonesome.’
According to him, his assistant was a source of comfort because of her long association with Beth.
‘She talked about Beth constantly, “Remember what Beth used to tell us,” and of course I would light right up when she’d say that. I was infatuated with a dream,’ he explained.
Duane has subsequently denied ever having a real relationship with Moon.
