David Hasselhoff has been in the entertainment industry for decades and has starred in truly legendary roles that have solidified him as one of the most recognized actors of his time. Most fans immediately connect him to his role as Mitch Buchannon on Baywatch, or as Michael Knight in Knight Rider.
After 2 failed marriages, he found the love of his life, Hayley Roberts, and fans have been curious to learn everything they possibly can about his leading lady. Many fans are stunned to see the striking age difference between the two and want to learn everything they can about who this young beauty is that has stolen David Hasselhoff's heart.
10 She's 28 Years Younger Than David
Perhaps the first thing fans notice about Hayley Roberts is the fact that she is much younger than David. While there are a series of Hollywood actors and famous celebrities with a big age gap between them, this one seems particularly interesting to fans. Hayley Roberts is a full 28 years younger than David is, and they still seem to work well together, despite how dramatically wide their age gap is.
9 She Has A Good Head On Her Shoulders
Hayley seems to have a very good head on her shoulders and doesn't seem to be after David's fame or fortune. When most people learn of the age difference between her and David, some assume she is a gold-digger and that is the explanation for the age gap. In actuality, for well over a year, during the early days of their relationship, she continued to live separately from David and commuted from his mansion to her humble home, driving a distance and maintaining her minimum wage job.
8 She Bears The Same Name As David's Daughter
For those who are unaware of this strange fact, David Hasselhoff's 3rd wife bears the same name as his daughter. That definitely seems like a bit of a faux pas, but in retrospect, nobody saw this coming. Whether or not his wife Hayley has a nickname or pet name remains unclear, but the fact remains she shares the same name as his child.
7 She Worked For Minimum Wage Before Dating David
It's safe to say that Hayley's life changed dramatically when her relationship with David Hasselhoff heated up and she ended up as his wife. Prior to transitioning her life to merge with his, Hayley was living a very normal, simple life. In fact, Heavy reports that; "Roberts was working in Merthyr Tydfil at a department store called Debenhams at minimum wage" when they first met.
6 She's Married To Someone Older Than Her Mother
One of the most interesting little known facts about Hayley centers around the dynamics of her relationships and how age factors in to things. One of these fun facts is that she is now married to someone that is older than her mother! Sources reveal that during an interview, her mother said, "He's older than me. At first that was troubling, but when you see them together they just get on so well so I don’t worry so much now.”
5 She Has Never Watched 'Baywatch'
The fact that Hayley is so much younger than David means that she was not tuned in to his career when it was at its peak. During his Baywatch days, she was merely a child, and therefore she wasn't watching the show. In fact, Hayley claims that she had never before seen an episode of Baywatch when she and David started dating. At one point, David said she asked him which character he played in the show and that defined their relationship, as he knew he was finally with someone that liked him for who he was and not for his fortune or fame.
4 She's Mesmerized By These Two Actors...
She may be married to one of the world's most familiar actors, but that doesn't stop Hayley from being mesmerized by other famous faces. When asked who her favorite actors are, she declared them as being Johnny Depp and Jennifer Aniston. Most would agree those are both good choices, and choices that are indicative of her generation and the era of entertainment that surrounded her when she was growing up.
3 Seafood Is Her Weakness
Hayley has a tiny frame and clearly spends a lot of time working out to stay in tip top shape. That all goes out the door if seafood is on the menu, though! Hayley confesses that when it comes to food and her ability to absolutely pig out, seafood is her biggest indulgence and also her biggest weakness. She simply can't say no to seafood and enjoys it even more when its added to her pasta.
2 She Gets The Travel Bug
One of Hayley's passions in life is to travel. Being married to a millionaire definitely helps, and David is willing to jet set anywhere his beautiful wife desires to go to. The two are known to take frequent, luxurious vacations, and they've enjoyed seeing the world together. Discovering new regions and spending time together keeps Hayley's thirst for travel quenched and aids the couple in continuing to bond while sharing mutual interests.
1 She's Family Focused
Hayley puts great focus on her family and remains very close with her relatives. She values these deep relationships and connections in her life and maintains close bonds with her loved ones. In fact, her Instagram page is riddled with photos of her grandmother, nieces, nephews, and various other family members. She also has two sisters and a brother that she keeps in touch with regularly. In addition to her own family, she has established very close bonds with David's family as well. She gets along smoothly with his children and there seems to be no animosity between them.
