Rick Harrison Engaged To Angie Polushkin For Fourth Time

Following painful past as he reflects on love and loss while embracing a new chapter.

Rick Harrison, the beloved star of the reality series Pawn Stars, recently announced his engagement to Angie Polushkin, marking the latest milestone in his complex romantic life. Harrison, 59, who began dating Polushkin in early 2024, proposed during a vacation in Casablanca, Chile, on March 6, 2025. He shared the exciting news on Instagram, captioning a heartfelt photo series with a simple but joyful, "She said yes!"

This engagement will be Harrison's fourth marriage, following his divorce from Deanna Burditt in the summer of 2020, after seven years of marriage. Before Burditt, he was married to Kim Harrison from 1982 to 1985, with whom he shares his sons Adam and Corey, and to Tracy Harrison from 1986 to 2011, with whom he shares a son, Jake. Each of these relationships has shaped Harrison's views on love and commitment.

In a candid interview with Graham Bensinger, Harrison reflected on his past marriages and acknowledged that he had thought each would last forever. "Yes, I have been married three times and I just proposed again, and I am happy… Everybody gets wrapped up in the stupid s---," he said, showcasing his laid-back and humorous approach to love, even after heartbreak.

Harrison also discussed his personal philosophy regarding finances, stating, "Money is my third or fourth favorite thing in the world, but it's not everything." He emphasized that wealth does not equate to happiness and recalled knowing many wealthy individuals who were unhappy. "You can take half my money and I can still live like a king for the rest of my life," he added, demonstrating his perspective that emotional fulfillment is more important than financial wealth.

Addressing the question of what he plans to do differently in his fourth marriage, Harrison replied with a sense of optimism. "I'm going to try and pick up more. Because I'm kind of scatter-brained. Yeah, I know I'm in love, and I know I'm a nice guy. I've been divorced three times. All the kids love me." It seems that he’s gearing up for a committed relationship, hoping that this time will indeed be different.

The star's journey through love has not been without its struggles. He reflects on the heart-wrenching death of his son Adam, who passed away from a fentanyl overdose at 39. Harrison fondly remembered Adam as the "greatest kid in the world," sharing the pain of loss while also showcasing resilience as he moves forward in his personal life.

The engagement news comes at a significant time in Harrison's life, marking a new chapter that follows a period of grief and introspection. With his relationship with Polushkin confirmed to People back in June 2024, Harrison spoke about their mutual joy and experiences traveling abroad. "Angie and I met 6 months ago, and she is a nurse in Las Vegas. We’ve been in Europe the last couple of weeks celebrating her birthday," he shared, highlighting the affection and excitement that has grown between them.

As Harrison embarks on this journey with Polushkin, he carries valuable lessons from his past. Viewers of Pawn Stars have watched him evolve not just as a businessman but also as a person navigating the complexities of romantic relationships. With his approach to love growing more mature, fans and followers are eager to see how his engagement to Polushkin unfolds, hoping that this time love will indeed conquer all.
