Who Is Lyssa Rae Brittain? 

Lyssa Rae Brittain is an educated lady born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She graduated from Denver High School and attended The University of Colorado, where she earned a degree in business. 

After bagging her degree, Brittain worked for her father’s business. She later turned her back on the business world and focused on domestic duties.

How Did Lyssa Rae Brittain Meet Duane Chapman?

“Dog the Bounty Hunter” star Duane Chapman ran into the woman he would make his third wife, Lyssa Rae Brittain, at a bar. Around that time, the famous TV personality was trying to nurse his wounded heart. His then-second wife, Anne Tengell, had taken his children away, and he was hurting. 

Brittain and Chapman bonded over their shared faith. She let him know that she had divorced her husband, who was a minister because he cheated on her. It started a passionate relationship, but Brittain would not realize how different she and Chapman were until years later.

Did Duane Chapman Offer Lyssa Rae Brittain a Thousand Dollars to Have His Child?

Drawn to Brittain because of her spiritualism, Chapman started dating her. He was impressed by her link to religion, especially since his former wife had not shared his faith. When he realized how much of a believer she was, Chapman offered her a considerable sum in return for something equally important. 

He stated in his 2007 memoir: “When Lyssa told me she understood the Lord, I offered her a thousand bucks on the spot to have my baby.”

Brittain did not turn him down. The pair tied the knot in June 1982. The ceremony, which an indigenous official officiated, occurred two weeks before the arrival of their child, daughter Barbara Katie Chapman.

Aside from Barbara, Brittain ultimately had more kids for Chapman, one of whom they tragically lost in a car accident in Fairbanks, Alaska. They had three kids by the time they split, including Lyssa Chapman, Tucker Dee, and Nicholas. 

Why Did Lyssa Rae Brittain and Duane Chapman’s Marriage End? 

As earlier stated, Lyssa Rae Brittain lived a mundane life before Chapman waltzed into her life. She enjoyed privacy and a lowkey life, which she had to sacrifice as Chapman’s wife. As years passed, Brittain realized that she could never keep up with Chapman’s love for stardom and started falling out of love with him. 

Their marriage lasted nine years before the pair decided to call it quits in November 1991. After the split, Brittain and her daughter, Baby Lyssa, who was ten years old, relocated to Anderson, a small town in Alaska. 

She started a new life there, but there were ups and downs. Some of those led Brittain to seek alcohol and develop an addiction. It made it difficult for baby Lyssa to bond closely with Brittain. 

Lyssa Rae Brittain’s Daughter’s Relationship With Her Father 

In a 2016 interview, Lyssa revealed that her mother still struggled with alcohol addiction. According to her, this makes it difficult for them to form a close relationship. Lyssa even confessed that she has a better relationship with her father than her mother.

To anyone who asks, Lyssa tells them her father is her role model and has always loved her unconditionally and stayed by her throughout her life.

She has been hanging out with her father a lot, and he has been rubbing off on her. Baby Lyssa is now closer to God like her dad and has said she attends church often. 

Brittain has maintained a lowkey lifestyle since the split from Duane Chapman. As such, only a little is known about what she is now up to. Either way, fans hope she is living well wherever she is.
