While appreciating his wife, Barker told Good Morning America in 2007,

“She was ahead of her time. She really was. She stopped wearing fur coats before anyone was stopping,"

He further stated,

"She became a vegetarian before people were becoming vegetarian. And I gradually did the same thing with her."

Bob Barker’s Past Affairs And Relationship

Regardless of his very long marital relationship with Dorothy, after her death, Bob was known to be in a relationship with his show ‘The Price is Right’ model, Dian Parkinson from 1989 to 1991.

Their relationship was a very hush-hush matter which shows it wasn’t very much stable. Thus, Bob and Dian's affair had to go through lawful method after the model filed a claim against him blaming inappropriate behavior.

Be that as it may, the claim was later dropped by Dian and since Bob hasn't made his sentimental relationship open.

As of 2018, Barker has not married since and yet known to be single.
