Hasselhoff gets sole custody of teen daughters

Actor and recording star David Hasselhoff has been granted custody of his two teenage daughters after a bitter court battle with his ex-wife, Pamela Bach.

A Los Angeles judge ruled Friday that Hasselhoff, 54, should have "primary, physical and sole custody" of the two girls, according to his attorney, Melvine Goldsman.

Bach, 43, can visit every other weekend and have dinner with the girls on Wednesday evenings, but they will live with their father.

Hasselhoff, a former Baywatch star and now a judge on America's Got Talent, has been divorced from Bach since last August, but the custody dispute has dragged on.

Their bitter fight became public when a video of a drunken Hasselhoff, in the presence of one of his daughters, was posted on a website.

After the tape's release, Hasselhoff acknowledged he was a recovering alcoholic and admitted to having relapsed. He briefly lost visitation rights, but regained them by late May.

Bach and her lawyer declined to talk about the case, saying they were prohibited under a court order.

This story is now closed to commenting.
