Bruce Hasselberg Personal Life
His first wife was Loni Anderson, an actress whose work has seen her nominated for a Golden Globe Award. The two got together before she began her acting career and thus their marriage is the least publicized of all her weddings and marriages. The two met when Loni was modeling competing for the Miss Minnesota pageant crown. Bruce’s elder sister Barbra was also a competitor in the pageant when he spotted Loni. Bruce was smitten and head over heels for her. He asked for a date and when the date came by, he proposed.
That fast proposal was accepted and despite being nineteen, she said yes to being his wife. Her parents were certainly not going to have any of it and therefore the couple eloped and got married in 1964 in the absence of their family and friends. The two had only known each other for four weeks and six days at this point. They came back wedded to Minnesota and lived together welcoming their first-child Deidra in 1965. The following year, their marriage came to an end with a divorce that had Deidra remain in her mother’s custody. Bruce Hasselberg would however send child support and frequently visit his daughter.
In the 1970s, Loni Anderson asked that Bruce cease sending child support as she starred in “WKRP in Cincinnati” which made her a star.
Their daughter was in 2009 diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a condition she continues to battle.
Bruce remarried a lady called Christi and the two sired a son named James. Loni on the other hand went on to marry Burt Reynolds, country singer Bob Flick in 2008, and Ross Bickell. With Burt, she adopted Quinton Anderson.
