TALENTED WIFE AND MODEL
Duane Chapman's son looked handsome in his plain black t-shirt and slicked-back hair as he posed for the photo that his wife, Jamie Chapman, took.
Leland's strong figure and dark outfit contrast with the sunny background, making for a great shot that he shared with his almost 500,000 Instagram followers. He captioned the post:
"My talented wife @jamiepchapman took this today. She’s getting pretty good with the camera. I guess an excellent model helps too ?."
SPLIT UP RUMORS
Things with Leland and his wife seem to be going well after stories about them splitting up hit the rumor mill toward the end of last year. Leland squashed rumors when he posted a heartfelt message in celebration of Jamie's birthday.
Beth died in Honolulu whilst admitted to hospital, and her passing away rocked the entire family.
Furthermore, the couple were together to celebrate Jamie's birthday and were joined by Leland's son Cobie. The reality television stars exchanged nuptials in 2016 and live together in Hawaii. They also share a dog, Kona.
HEALTH STRUGGLES
Jamie has been very open about her struggle with both her mental and physical health, with some of her posts leading to the speculation that she and Leland were on the brink of splitting up.
The model took to social media to share what challenges she was facing and gave her followers some strong advice concerning how other people treat you. She said:
”Stop chasing after people & being the only one trying to fix everything. It's mentally and physically exhausting."
OVERCOMING GRIEF
Besides his immediate family strife, Leland has also been dealing with the loss of the Chapman family matriarch Beth Chapman. Beth died in 2019 after losing a two-year-long battle with cancer.
Beth died in Honolulu whilst admitted to hospital, and her passing away rocked the entire family, with Duane sharing that some of the children were coping with their grief very well.
Beth and Duane made the trip down the aisle in 2006 and shared 12 children between the two of them. Beth was a pillar of strength for Duane and his children, and her loss deeply impacted them.
Duane has, however, found new love as he is engaged to Francie Frane, who also features in the new series "Dog Unleashed," making her reality television debut as the bounty hunter's new lady.
