David Hasselhoff set to undergo knee replacement surgery
The 'Baywatch' legend, 72, was snapped in photos obtained by the Daily Mail being pushed through the airports in Cancun and Los Angeles in a wheelchair on Monday (05.05.25).
And now a representative for the star has confirmed The Hoff required assistance as he's set to undergo knee replacement surgery.
They told Us Weekly: 'He was seen in a wheelchair because he's having a knee replacement surgery next week."
The actor was previously fitted with a defibrillator implant to prevent heart issues.
Hasselhoff being pictured in a wheelchair comes two months after his ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff tragically passed away by suicide.
The actress - who had Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32, with Hasselhoff - was found dead at her Los Angeles home on March 5.
Hasselhoff requested privacy for their family at the time.
He said: "Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff.
"We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time."
Pamela was found dead at her $2 million Hollywood Hills home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Authorities were alerted after family members grew concerned when they had not heard from her for several days.
Paramedics responded to a call reporting an unconscious woman shortly after 10pm Wednesday night. No suicide note was found at the scene.
Pamela's career included roles in 'The Young and the Restless', 'The Fall Guy' and 'Sirens', but she had stepped away from acting in recent years.
She was laid to rest in Los Angeles on March 29, however, it's reported that Hasselhoff did not attend the funeral at Bel Air Presbyterian Church.

Dancing has taught me some life lessons, says Julianne Hough
Julianne Hough's dancing career has taught her some important "life lessons". The 37-year-old star - who joined Dancing with the Stars back in 2007 - believes her career has taught her the value of "resilience and tenacity". Speaking to Us Weekly, Julianne explained: "There were definite life lessons along the way. "[Learning] dance and technique and professionally are important, but [also we learned] the life lessons of resilience and tenacity and how to show up and add value, how to be connected to your uniqueness. All of those things shaped us, from our guides and our mentors." Derek Hough, Julianne's brother, believes that his own dance career has helped to shape his character. The TV star said: "My coaches, my mentors [and] a lot of the lessons that I've learned [from the dance studio made me] who I am today as a man, and as a person. "[It was] from my teachers, you know, the way they taught me [and] the way they [acted] toward me." Despite this, Derek previously admitted to putting lots of pressure on himself during his younger years. The professional dancer confessed to suffering from self-doubts in the early days. During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the show's host asked Derek: "You also have a lot of pressures to be perfect and to always win. How do you handle that?" Derek replied: "At a very young age, I had this belief in myself, which was, 'Am I enough? Am I good enough?' "Over time, in order to feel I am enough, I had to achieve something. In order for me to feel that I was worthy, I had to succeed, I had to win. Only then would I feel I was enough." Derek struggled to find fulfilment during his younger years. However, he's learned some important lessons during the course of his career. Derek - who is best known for his appearances on Dancing with the Stars - explained: "I didn't really realise at the time was it's not really about what we achieve in this life that really matters, it's who we become as a person along the way."

Buckingham Palace makes shock error in Princess Anne tribute online as royal celebrates 75th birthday
Buckingham Palace has been forced to quietly delete a celebratory post for Princess Anne after it contained a glaring error about her family. The Princess Royal, the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and sister to King Charles III, turns 75 on Friday. To mark the milestone, the Palace released a list of "75 facts" about the beloved royal on Wednesday. But one detail quickly raised eyebrows among sharp-eyed royal fans, prompting the entire piece to be pulled from the official site. Fact number 14 claimed that Princess Anne had two stepchildren- named Tom and Amy Laurence- from her second marriage to her current husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence. In reality, Sir Timothy did not have any children prior to their 1992 wedding, and Anne was his first wife. The Princess has two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, from her first marriage to Olympic equestrian Captain Mark Phillips. One puzzled user wrote on X: "#14 Tom and Amy Laurence? Either I've gone crazy or Sir Tim Laurence has secret children. Pretty sure this is an error, but how did that happen? I can't think of any Tom & Amy siblings in the extended royal family." Another joked: "That would be the best hidden royal secret ever." A third questioned whether AI had played a role: "That is so odd? Could it be an AI mistake? Someone at BP made that list with chatgpt but didn't check it? Otherwise that would be one heck of a plot twist." It's unclear how the false information ended up in the tribute, though the same error appeared in a Woman & Home magazine article several years ago. Some have speculated the piece's author may have unknowingly relied on AI, but a palace insider denied this, telling the Daily Mail on Thursday: "The facts were checked, and that one was a late addition, sourced from a reputable publication online, which unfortunately wasn't put back through the checking process. There was no AI sourcing on our part." By Wednesday night the article had vanished, replaced with a "page not found" notice. It has since been reuploaded with the mistake removed. Known for her quick wit and no-nonsense style, Princess Anne, officially recognised for four consecutive years as the "Hardest Working Royal", is likely to have taken the mishap in good humour. Alongside the corrected article, the Royal Family shared a new official portrait taken by her long-time photographer John Swannell at her Gatcombe Park home last month. The image shows Anne in a tailored royal blue dress with a crisp white collar, matching cuffs and a row of white buttons down the front- the same outfit she wore to The King's Foundation Awards in June. In line with her character, the Princess chose not to hold a public celebration for her birthday. Instead, she hosted a reception for over 100 charities that she supports at Buckingham Palace in June, personally greeting more than 200 guests to express her gratitude for their work. Anne, who began her royal duties at the age of 18, has been involved with more than 300 charities to date. On her last working day before turning 75, she visited a stable in Liverpool, an oat mill in Cheshire, and an animal feed factory. However, she plans to spend her birthday sailing around Scotland's Western Isles with Sir Timothy.

Why Brandon Blackstock's relationship with Kelly Clarkson's ex-assistant was ‘icing on the cake' in divorce
Brandon Blackstock's relationship with ex-wife Kelly Clarkson's former assistant Brittney Marie Jones was reportedly 'the icing on the cake of the disappointment' the singer felt over the dissolution of their marriage. A source told the Daily Mail on Thursday that Blackstock — who died last week at the age of 48 following a private, three-year battle with melanoma — 'chose to move on with someone Kelly knew and trusted,' which 'just adds to the person he ended up being to her.' The source described Blackstock, who shared two children with Clarkson and two with his first wife, as 'a great father,' but not 'a great husband', per Page Six. The source made sure to stress that the American Idol season one winner 'doesn't blame' Jones, who lived with Blackstock in Montana before his death, and wants to steer clear of any 'drama from her fanbase.' Blackstock's relationship with Jones was revealed in his online obituary, which was published Tuesday and read in part, 'Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.' According to Jones' LinkedIn profile, she served as Clarkson's assistant from December 2016 to December 2018, at which time she also became an assistant for Blackstock. Her employment with the former couple lasted until June 2020, the same month Clarkson, 43, filed for divorce from Blackstock, who served as the Grammy winner's talent manager during their union. The two settled their divorce in March 2022. Clarkson never publicised the reason for the split, only citing 'irreconcilable differences' in her filing. But according to the Daily Mail 's source, there was a 'cause' described as 'a point of no return.' The source did not elaborate. Despite their contentious break-up, the musician was still there for Blackstock as his health declined, making sure to prioritise family time with their daughter, River, 11, and son, Remington, 9. 'When Brandon dealt more and more with his cancer, Kelly's only goal was to make sure her kids were OK and to let him live his personal life any way he wanted to live it,' the Daily Mail 's source said. 'Kelly knew that Brittney wasn't going to be a problem with her and her kids. There was never a misunderstanding between them.' It's unclear when Blackstock's relationship with Jones turned romantic, but her father described them as 'soulmates' in his Facebook tribute. Blackstock was married to Melissa Ashworth from 2001 to 2012. Together, they welcomed daughter Savannah Lee — who is pregnant with her second child — and son Seth Blackstock. As for Jones, she was previously married to Greg Goose LaPoint.
