In these recent years, Dale has not made many public appearances but she was present at one of her husband’s book signing campaigns to promote his autobiography, I’ll Be Damned. Reportedly, Dale has been thinking about writing an autobiography for herself as well but there are no details about it yet.
Even in his website bio, Braeden wrote, “Because Dale is so private, people don’t realize how much she influences what I do or don’t do. I make many decisions only after consulting her. She has been a supportive and calming influence in my life.”
