The former couple tied the knot in 2004 and were blessed with two sons named Justin Bench and Josh Bench. The family was living in Palm Springs but Bench wanted to move to Florida which was not agreed by his wife.
The bench said about fatherhood in an interview,
"Being a dad can be challenging, sure. But even when it's not fun, it's enjoyable—if that makes sense. I don't mind the work. I mean, how can you complain about doing laundry? You throw it in, put some soap in, push the button and come back when it's done."
Before Baiocchi, Bench was married to Elizabeth Benton. Not many details are known about their relationship details but they tied the knot in February of 1997.

The former couple parted their ways in 1995 after being together for 8 straight years. Bobby tells about his father in an interview,
"He was—is—a great dad. Definitely firm. I remember him making me wear slacks and a button-down for my 12th birthday. But he did a lot of things you later appreciated."
The bench was quite a keeper in the case of his love life. Before tying the knot with Laura, he was married to a toothpaste model named Vickie Chesser who previously dated Joe Namath.
Not many details about the former couple are known out in open but reports claim that they met in 1975 and just after a few days of the meeting, Bench got down to his knees and popped the question.
They were together for 13 months and finally decided to part their ways by getting a divorce after a year of their marriage. Chesser told in an interview with Phil Donahue,
"I tried. I even hand-squeezed orange juice. I don't think either of us had any idea what marriage was really like."
Moved on with their lives, Bench married his second wife and Chesser got a loved one by her side.
