Gregory, who is Francie's child from a previous marriage, became part of Dog's life when he married Francie in 2021. The couple found solace in each other following the deaths of their respective spouses. Gregory is also part of Dog's bounty hunting crew, working alongside Dog and his daughter, Lyssa, reports the Mirror US.

In a surprising turn of events in 2023, Dog stunned his followers by announcing he had a secret son. The revelation came on the fourth anniversary of his late wife Beth's passing. Dog introduced his adult son to the world through a social media post, sharing a snapshot of the well-built man dressed in a blue polo shirt and smart jeans, complete with sunglasses reminiscent of those his father famously wears.

His wife, sporting a polka dot off-the-shoulder blouse, blue cropped jeans, and black heels, posed alongside him in the snap. She completed her look with a red belt and chic oversized pale pink sunglasses.

Dog revealed to followers that the complete tale of his hidden child would feature in his upcoming memoir Nine Lives and Counting. Whilst he kept the publication date under wraps, he assured fans it was "coming soon".

The Mirror has contacted Dog the Bounty Hunter and The Collier County Sheriff’s Office for comment.
