“your not off the hook Lyssa you Invite  your parents regardless I bet Leigh’s parents we’re invited. we could have been home in time you chose not to even tell us.”

“If your intent was to hurt me or Abbie with lies, don’t worry. You didn’t. I’m so excited, happy and proud and there is nothing you can do to dull mine or Abbie’s shine. 

“As we both know, you never intended to be home in Hawaii this week and I’m sorry you feel some type of way. You want to talk, you got my number.”

The Twitter beef was laid to rest after Lyssa’s tweet and it is unclear if the two smoothed things out via text.

Do you have a story for The US Sun team?

Dog the Bounty Hunter is engaged.

The reality TV star, real name Duane Lee Chapman, is set to the tie the knot with Francie Frane, his rep confirms to E! News.

A spokesperson for Dog shares, "They're very happy and looking forward to a long life together."

This news comes about 10 months after Dog's wife, Beth Chapman, passed away. Beth died in late June 2019 at the age of 51 after battling throat cancer.

"It's 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven," Dog tweeted on June 26, 2019, confirming Beth's passing. "We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side."

Dog, who also sparked engagement rumors earlier this year, shared details of his proposal to Francie in an interview with The Sun, sharing that he wants to have the "biggest wedding there's ever been."

Francie, who started dating Dog earlier this year, also shared her reaction to his proposal.

''Dog the Bounty Hunter' star Beth Chapman dies after cancer battle

Duane "Dog" Chapman confirmed his wife, Beth Chapman "hiked the stairway to heaven" in a post on Twitter.

"Dog the Bounty Hunter" star Beth Chapman had been battling for a few years before her death last month. Still, her husband and co-star Duane Chapman says there's no way to be ready to lose a loved one. 

"Prepared? No, you're never, ever prepared," Chapman recently told Entertainment Tonight. "You can't prepare. There is no way. I did not know that this was going to happen that day... There is not another Beth. There'll never be another Beth. There ain't a girl built like another Beth."

Beth Chapman died from Stage 4 lung cancer at age 51 on June 26, Duane announced to fans at the time. Days prior, she had been taken to the intensive care unit at a Hawaii hospital and placed in a medically-induced coma. 

"It's 5:32 (a.m.) in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven," he tweeted. "We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side." 

Beth Chapman memorial: 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' star 'sent off in true Hawaiian style'

Duane also got candid about the heartbreaking conversations he and Beth had for the "two to three years" when she "knew this might happen."

"She would say, 'Who is going to sit next to you?' And I said, 'No one,'" he said. " 'Big Daddy, you better not let another girl take my place.' I said, 'I won't.' "

He continued: "But everyday she talked as if she was not there: 'Here's what to do with this, here's what to do with that. Don't keep running your mouth. When they ask you a specific question, just answer that.' "

In the "last few moments" before she was rushed to the hospital, Duane recalled his wife asking him to "please, let me go." 

"And I didn't even make a decision, I almost said, 'I can't,'" he said. "Before I could say, 'Alright,' she couldn't breathe and I called the ambulance."

The Chapman family held the first of two planned memorial services in Hawaii on June 29. The afternoon service, which was open to the public, honored Chapman's life as she was "sent off in true Hawaiian style, with aloha," family lawyer Andrew Brettler previously told USA TODAY. 

A second memorial is scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Aurora, Colorado. Chapman previously told fans it would be an opportunity to "tuck (Beth) in, tell her goodnight, for she sleepeth."
