Bob Barker’s Longtime Love Remembers Him – Opens Up About Their ‘Low-Key’ Relationship

The late “The Price Is Right” game show host 📺Bob Barker’s longtime love and companion, Nancy Burnet, is remembering him following his death.

In a phone interview with the “Today” show, Burnet revealed the pair first met at an animal adoption event in 1983.

“My friend and I were there and we’re just kind of standing around and he walked over to me and introduced himself,” Burnet shared.

However, Burnet said she declined Barker’s first invitation to dinner because it was an “inconvenient time” as she didn’t want to leave her friend and car behind. Following their meeting, their relationship began to blossom.

“We saw each other periodically for dinner or lunch and, if I was in Los Angeles for business, we would meet up,” she said.

Burnet also revealed why she kept her relationship with Barker hidden for so many years.

“I kept my relationship with him very low-key because people treat you differently when they know that there’s a celebrity involved,” she explained.

Burnet continued, “At one time, we were very much a couple and then later (our) relationship evolved into more of a friendship.”

Additionally, she shared why the couple, who were both previously married, never married one another.

“When we started seeing each other, that was one of the things we talked about at the beginning, about ever remarrying or anything. And he said ‘No, no, he would never remarry,'” Burnet explained.
