Bob Barker rose to fame as the presenter of “The Price Is Right,” and he remains a popular figure even after retiring. On December 12, 2022, the TV legend will be 99, and he will celebrate with his cherished companion of over four decades.
Barker’s brother and wife take him out to supper on his birthday every year. He normally gets to choose the restaurant, and his brother covers the bill. Barker treasures these private times with his family and spouse.
For several years, the television personality has been enjoying his life away from the camera. His “woman” observed that despite the passage of time, he had remained healthy and fit. She added that he is content and that he keeps himself busy.
Barker was happily married to Dorothy Jo Gideon before meeting his present companion.
Barker, on the other hand, has had some major health issues throughout the years. He has had a carotid artery blockage, skin cancer, and a stroke. He also underwent prostate surgery and needed stitches in his knee after a terrible tumble.
Barker was happily married to Dorothy Jo Gideon before meeting his present companion. Sadly, she died, and he never imagined he’d find someone else to love. He had this to say about losing his wife:
“I never had any desire to remarry.” “My wife was her name.”
On occasion, the TV personality has been observed visiting his late wife’s cemetery. He took a few moments out of his day to polish the gravestone and lay a huge bouquet of daisies on it. He also took a moment to sit and, no doubt, reminisce on their time together.
Gideon died in 1981 at the age of 57. She had been diagnosed with lung cancer, which ultimately killed her. Fortunately, Burnet appeared, and she and Barker have worked tirelessly to promote animal rights, and they’ve been there for each other since the beginning.
