In her autobiography, I, Tina, Turner revealed that this was the first time Ike had instilled fear in her. Ike admitted to hitting Tina in an interview with Spin. He said,
Yeah, I hit her, but I didn't hit her more than the average guy beats his wife... If she says I abused her, maybe I did.

Bach confirmed that he has never read his wife's book, I, Tina. He told Oprah Winfrey that it was hard to hear or read about the past of the person you love. He thought that someday, Turner would erase that past and finally be done with it.
Even though Bach is 16 years younger than his superstar wife, the age difference has never affected their relationship.
Bach proposed to Tina twice in 1989 when she was 50 years old. Though Turner did not completely believe him then, she, however, did not say no to his proposal. She loved him, and she was afraid he would end their relationship if she rejected his proposal.
