Dog The Bounty Hunter’s surprise proposal to new girlfriend Moon Angell has left his children feeling as if they’ve lost both parents, according to reports.
A source told The Sun that “none” of the family would attend Dog’s wedding if he does end up walking down the aisle with his new partner.
The latest family drama comes as Dog, otherwise known as Duane Chapman, asked his girlfriend Moon, 53, to marry him on the Dr Oz show, just months after wife Beth died from cancer age 51.
In a preview of the interview, a tearful Dog, 66, asked: “Will you marry me?” to a shocked Moon, who was also Beth’s assistant.

Moon’s answer remains to be seen but she immediately responded by gasping and staring at Dog in disbelief.
It’s still not known if the couple are officially engaged or not.
A source told the publication: “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.”
The source also revealed that the couple’s television appearance was the first time any of the children had seen their father in several months.
“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.”
It comes after it was revealed that the TV proposal was actually the second time Dog had asked Moon to marry him.

According to The Sun, he proposed via text message back in September, while he was in hospital with heart issues, and Moon said yes.
The Chapman 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.”
