David Hasselhoff won sole physical custody of his two daughters, Taylor-Ann, 17, and Hayley, 14, on Friday. The Baywatch actor left the courthouse smiling, saying it was "a beautiful day to go to the beach". He added: "The judge said today, 'Enough - enough is enough, these children have been through enough."
The 54-year-old star's ex-wife Pamela Bach was told she can visit her daughters on alternate weekends and on Wednesday nights for dinner. Bach, 42, was seen crying in a hallway of the courthouse, and reportedly overheard sobbing to her lawyer, "I just lost my kids".
She and Hasselhoff divorced in August 2006 after 16 years of marriage.
In May, the 'America's Got Talent' judge was temporarily barred from visiting his daughters after a videotape of him drunk and rolling around shirtless on the floor trying to eat a hamburger was put on the internet. The judge reinstated his visitation rights late last month.
Hasselhoff's attorney Melvin S. Goldsman said: "If, down the road, the kids are comfortable seeing her more, Mr. Hasselhoff has said he will let his children see their mother as often as they want to."
