Dog The Bounty Hunter's kids feel they have lost both parents now after TV proposal and say NO ONE will attend wedding

DOG The Bounty Hunters kids feel they have lost both their parents now – after the reality star's shock "proposal" to new girlfriend on TV, a source revealed.

And "none" of the family would attend their wedding if they do end up walking down the aisle, the insider told The Sun.

It comes after Dog – real name Duane Chapman – asked his new lover Moon Angell, 53, to marry him on a teaser for the Dr Oz show, just months after wife Beth died from cancer age 51.

In a video preview of the interview, a tearful Dog, 66, asked 'Will you marry me?" to his new love- who was also Beth assistant.

Though her answer was not yet revealed, she immediately responded by gasping and staring at him in disbelief. It's still not known if the couple are officially engaged or not.

A source said: "The kids don't know for sure if the TV proposal was real or just for publicity – but at the end of the day he said it and they wouldn't be surprised if he meant it.

"They are all pretty disappointed and just don't know what's going around his head.

"They understand he is grieving but they are grieving too and seeing him propose on TV to another woman is hard for them.

"If there is a wedding none of his family will be there – no one.

"They think the relationship is a train wreck – and they are not staying aboard – they're jumping off.

"They don't wish anything bad on their dad but at the same time they don't want any part of this.

"It's hard for them – right now they feel like they have lost two parents – not just Beth but Dog too."

The close family source also revealed how the TV appearance was the first time any of the children had seen their father in several months.

"The first time any of his children had seen him in about six months was on TV," they added.

"It's hurtful but to be honest they were all expecting it, they saw it coming and now they're just waiting to see what happens.

"They've all had their knee jerk reaction against Moon and the new relationship.

"But now they don't want to keep fighting with their dad – it's not healthy.

"So they are doing what Beth taught them – to pick themselves up and continue with their lives."

And the kids have even been telling friends they are so hurt by the whole thing – they even want Dog to change his last name if he marries Moon.

"They feel that if he marries Moon he should change his last name – because their family and their pride in the name Chapman name means a lot to them," the insider said.

"As far as the kids are concerned Dog was supposed to be the leader of their family but his recent behavior is dividing the family more than their mom's death.

"They are just trying to stick together, support each other and get through this tough time.

"Everyone is actually doing great considering the circumstances – they are just trying to protect themselves from the negativity and it's bringing them closer."

It comes after The Sun revealed the TV proposal was actually the second time Dog had asked Moon to marry him.

He proposed via text message back in September while he was hospitalized for heart issues – and Moon said yes, a source revealed.

But Dog apparently never got her a ring or planned the wedding.

And TMZ reported that Dog popping the question on Dr Oz was “NOT legit.”

An insider told the website: “He was overly emotional and got caught up in the moment.”

The Sun previously reported Dog “threatened” his children with a proposal.

The family has been critical of the relationship both in private and publicly – with Dog’s daughters Lyssa and Cecily taking to social media to slam Moon.

Lyssa Tweeted last year: “You’re a disgusting woman. Any person who moves in on a man weeks after losing his wife, who you were supposed to be a ‘friend’ to, is the lowest scum on the planet.”

When Dog posted a photo with Moon in January, Lyssa went off again: “If someone who met your family by dating your brother tried to date your father after your step-mom died, what would you do?”

Another source told The Sun that Beth, who died from cancer in June 2019, knew Moon would attempt to seduce her husband once she had passed.

“She lives in his home and sleeps in his bed. Beth warned those closest to her this would happen," they said.

“Beth told people because she knew Moon's intentions, which were to get Duane to trust her, so she could control every aspect of his life.”

Dog came clean about the romance to loved ones when he was hospitalized in September for a heart issue, the insider said.
