Rick Harrison: “After a Year of Grief, I Finally Found Happiness”

And who needs no introduction, but we’re going to introduce him anyway—Rick Harrison of Gold & Silver Pawn and Pawn Stars. Now, with Rick Harrison’s Collection, he continues to educate himself and others.

Rick had always been buying and selling things. His dad had a little coin shop, and he wanted a pawn shop for years.

A Life of Triumphs and Heartbreak

Rick Harrison faced heartbreak—grieving the loss of his son, facing another failed marriage, and wondering if happiness was something he would ever find again. The man who built his life making deals on Pawn Stars knew that some things, no matter how rare, couldn’t be bought. But just when life seemed to have taken everything from him, he found himself stepping into a new chapter.

Who is the woman who helped Rick turn pain into love? And how did he go from sorrow to saying, “She said yes”?

Rick’s Journey Through Love and Loss

Rick Harrison’s life has always been an open book—a journey filled with triumphs and heartbreaks. Before he found happiness with Angie Pushkin, his personal life had been marked by a series of relationships, each shaping the man he is today.

While the world knows him as the tough negotiator behind the counter of Pawn Stars, his path to love has been far from simple.

• First Marriage: Rick married Kim Harrison, a relationship that brought him the joy of fatherhood but eventually came to an end. Like many young couples, they faced challenges that made it difficult to stay together. Though little is publicly known about their time as husband and wife, this chapter played a role in shaping Rick’s outlook on relationships.

• Second Marriage: Rick found love again and married Tracy Harrison. Their marriage lasted over two decades, bringing stability and deeper responsibilities. Together, they navigated life’s ups and downs, balancing personal commitments with Rick’s growing ambitions in the pawn business. After 25 years together, they decided to part ways in 2011.

• Third Marriage: In 2013, Rick married Deanna Burditt. Unlike his previous wives, Deanna was not part of the pawn world but seemed to be the perfect match. Their wedding drew public attention, and for years, they built a life together away from the cameras. However, by 2020, their paths had drifted apart, and they made the difficult decision to divorce.

• Fourth Marriage: In 2021, Rick married Amanda Palmer, hoping for lasting love. But after just two years together, their differences became too significant, and they finalized their divorce in 2023.

A Devastating Loss

Nothing could have prepared Rick for what came next. In early 2024, he faced an unimaginable tragedy—the loss of his son, Adam. No heartbreak compares to losing a child, and for Rick, it was a wound that cut deeper than anything he had ever experienced. He withdrew from the public eye, searching for meaning in a world that suddenly felt emptier.

For over a year, happiness felt like a distant memory. The energy he once brought to his work faded, and fans who had followed his journey for years could sense the grief he carried.

But even in the darkest times, life has a way of bringing unexpected light.

Meeting Angie Pushkin

Love often arrives when it is least expected. For Rick Harrison, it came at a time when happiness felt unreachable. After enduring profound losses—including the passing of his son and the end of multiple marriages—the weight of grief never truly left.

Then, in early 2024, a new person entered his world: Angie Pushkin.

Their first encounter remains private, known only to those closest to them. But what is certain is that their connection grew quickly, built on understanding and shared experiences. Unlike Rick’s past relationships, this one progressed quietly, away from the public eye, allowing them to form a bond without outside pressure.

It didn’t take long for people around Rick to notice a change. The spark that grief had dimmed began to return, little by little, as Angie became an important part of his life.

Who Is Angie Pushkin?

Angie Pushkin is not a familiar face in reality television, nor is she a celebrity. She is a 42-year-old nurse from Las Vegas—someone who has dedicated her life to caring for others. Compassionate, grounded, and strong, she entered Rick’s life at a time when he needed it most—not to replace what was lost, but to stand beside him as he rebuilt his world.

She understood what it meant to heal, not just physically but emotionally, and that made all the difference.

A Love That Brought Peace

Their relationship, which began in early 2024, unfolded gradually, offering Rick something he hadn’t experienced in a long time—a sense of peace. While his career at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop kept him busy, his time with Angie brought moments of stillness, the kind that reminded him there was still joy to be found in everyday life.

Grief never fully disappears, but love has a way of softening its edges. Angie helped Rick navigate his pain, not by trying to erase it, but by standing with him through it. With each passing day, Rick began to feel something he thought might never return—happiness.

Friends, family, and longtime fans saw the transformation. The sharp wit and humor that made him famous began to resurface, but this time, it carried a sense of contentment rather than distraction.

It became clear that, for the first time in a long while, Rick wasn’t just moving forward—he was looking ahead with hope.

The Proposal: “She Said Yes”

Rick has spent a lifetime learning that the most valuable things are the ones that cannot be bought. And he knew that what he had found with Angie was something rare.

As their bond deepened, he made a decision—one that would mark the beginning of a new chapter.

• The first proposal happened in his living room—a simple moment—but his daughters quickly criticized it as “the most unromantic proposal ever.”

• Determined to do better, Rick planned a second, unforgettable proposal.

On a sunny day in March 2025, Rick and Angie found themselves in the breathtaking vineyards of Casablanca Valley, Chile. The rolling hills and endless grapevines set the perfect scene. As they toured one of the region’s finest wineries, Rick saw his chance.

He got down on one knee, holding a ring that carried more than just value—it carried meaning. This was no ordinary engagement ring. It was a 6.2-carat pear-shaped diamond, a rare and stunning piece from his very own Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas.

To Rick, the ring was priceless—just like the love he had found with Angie.

When he looked up at her, there was no question in his mind. And when she saw him, there was no hesitation in her answer.

She said yes.

Angie later shared the moment on social media, writing:
“We toured a beautiful winery in Chile, and Rick got down on one knee.”

Her post captured glimpses of their special day—exploring vineyards, sipping wine, and basking in the glow of the moment. She even added a song: I Said Yes by Sunny Bloom—a quiet yet powerful tribute to their love story.

A Future Built on Love

Rick Harrison’s journey has been filled with ups and downs, but through it all, he never stopped believing in love. Now, as he stands beside Angie Pushkin, he knows that every step, every setback, and every lesson has led him here.

Though details of their wedding remain private, one thing is clear: Rick is not rushing this time. He and Angie are simply enjoying this chapter, embracing the joy of being together.

For Rick, this engagement is not just another chance at marriage—it is proof that love can come when it is least expected.

After years of searching and a year of grief, Rick Harrison has finally found happiness. And this time, he is holding on to it with both hands.
