David Hasselhoff<\/a> has been spotted with his wife, Hayley Roberts, using a walking frame during a rare outing.<\/p>\n

Once one of Hollywood\u2019s hottest names, even holding a Guinness World Record as the most-watched man on TV, the Baywatch icon, 73, isn\u2019t photographed as much these days.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also sparked concern from fans in recent years, having been seen in a\u00a0wheelchair<\/a> at Los Angeles<\/a> Airport last May ahead of a knee operation and admitting he was in a lot of pain.<\/p>\n

However, his team has insisted that the Knight Rider star is still active but is currently recovering from knee and hip replacement surgery.<\/p>\n

New snaps show the 90s heartthrob dressed in casual attire in the West Hills neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Sporting a grey T-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms, a \u2018Nashville\u2019 cap, and with a sweater over his shoulder, The Hoff exited his physical therapy appointment.<\/p>\n

His representative explained to Page Six<\/a> that Hasselhoff is \u2018doing well and feeling good\u2019.<\/p>\n

Using his walker for assistance, the screen legend was helped to his car, accompanied by Roberts, 45, his wife of eight years.<\/p>\n

The Welsh model, whom Hasselhoff proposed to in 2016 despite initial trepidation surrounding their 28-year age gap, wore teal gym leggings, a fitted white tee, and a pink baseball cap and was seen scrolling on her phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to his marriage to Roberts, Hasselhoff was first married to actress Catherine Hickland from 1984 to 1989 and then to actress Pamela Bach until 2006; they had two daughters together. <\/p>\n

Bach died by suicide<\/a> last March, aged 61. While Hasselhoff did not attend her funeral, he shared a heartfelt tribute<\/a>, writing on social media<\/a> that their family felt \u2018deeply saddened\u2019 and requested \u2018privacy\u2019 to grieve.<\/p>\n

Roberts is also active online, sharing a Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a> post for Hasselhoff this year and frequently posting wedding snaps to mark anniversaries.<\/p>\n

She previously wrote: \u2018I chose the greatest man who is funny, kind, sweet with the biggest heart. I am a lucky girl \u2764\ufe0f\u2019<\/p>\n

Hasselhoff last posted on his own Instagram<\/a> in January, sharing a black-and-white baby pic of him and his sister with their grandmother.<\/p>\n

The actor, of course, rose to prominence on TV as Michael Knight in the 1980s<\/a>, continuing his mega popularity in the role of lifeguard\u00a0Mitch Buchannon\u00a0in the drama series\u00a0Baywatch<\/a> from 1989 to 2000.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also enjoyed a glittering film career and clocked up numerous stage credits, with 15 of his own studio albums under his belt.<\/p>\n

Brits will know him for his one-series stint as a judge on Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/a> in 2011, when the panel underwent a huge shakeup and also hired Michael McIntyre<\/a> to sit alongside Amanda Holden.<\/p>\n

As for his life now, The Hoff released further records and toured to promote them throughout the 2010s. He\u2019s also travelled as a motivational speaker.<\/p>\n

Away from public life, he\u2019s been spotted hiking in Calabasas, California, with Roberts, keen to maintain his fitness even when no longer donning the famous red swimshorts.<\/p>\n

Baywatch is actually getting the reboot treatment<\/a> at the moment, with a 12-episode season set to land later this year or early next year.<\/p>\n

Production is currently underway in Venice Beach. Following in the sandy footsteps of original cast members Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, and Jason Momoa are newbies Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell, Noah Beck, and Livvy Dunne, among others.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first Baywatch revival, of course, as Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron starred in a comedy film adaptation in 2017.<\/p>\n

The Hoff, however, has remained protective over its legacy, telling ITV\u2019s This Morning in 2015 that he had terms for whether or not he\u2019d ever reprise his role.<\/p>\n

\u2018If Baywatch was going to be a send up or a joke, I don\u2019t think so.\u2019<\/p>\n

Then speaking in 2022 about his tenure as a slow-mo life saver, Hasselhoff told the Golden Globes<\/a> that he wanted to \u2018change\u2019 the perception of his acting abilities ahead of the release of his German\/English TV series, Ze Network.<\/p>\n

\u2018The perception of me is David Hasselhoff from\u00a0Baywatch\u00a0and\u00a0Knight Rider. I get it every day, every hour, every five minutes,\u2019 he said. <\/p>\n

\u2018People want to take a picture with me, get an autograph, talk about the shows. So I wanted to change that. <\/p>\n

\u2018I wanted to say that I was an actor on\u00a0Baywatch,\u00a0but in this show, I played myself. It\u2019s supposed to be a comedy, but it gets very heavy along the way too.\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked if he could still perform stunts at his age, he explained that he needed \u2018a lot of stuntmen\u2019 for his latest project.<\/p>\n

\u2018I had surgery on my knee in Germany, and I was in a lot of pain. If you watch the show, you\u2019ll see me walking, and then you\u2019ll see me kind of walking weird,\u2019 he shared. \u2018But the stuntman was absolutely great.\u2019<\/p>\n
