Rick Harrison Finds Love Again at 60
Rick Harrison, the host of “Pawn Stars,” has shared that he has discovered love once more, stating he feels “the happiest I’ve ever been.” At 60 years old, he recently married Agripina “Angie” Polushkin, 42, in a charming ceremony officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. They have a bigger celebration planned for Cancun, Mexico, later this month.
In a conversation with FOX News Digital, Harrison reflected on why now was the right time for him to remarry.
“Why not?” he pondered. “I’m in good health, you know?”
He also expressed his resolve to take care of Angie as they grow older together, quipping, “I promise when she gets older I’ll take care of her.”
The wedding comes amidst the backdrop of personal loss; Harrison’s son Adam tragically passed away from a fentanyl overdose in January 2024. Additionally, in November, his mother Joanne died at the age of 85. Despite these hardships, Harrison emphasized a desire to focus on life’s joys.
“I like to be happy. I mean, I’m fine,” he said, adding, “I never have to work another day in my life and I live really, really well.” He noted that despite wealth, happiness isn’t guaranteed, stressing that he’s found contentment regardless of material possessions.
Harrison described Angie as a significant support during difficult times, acknowledging her unwavering presence. He has been married four times before, with each marriage leading to valuable lessons. His previous marriages were to Kim, Tracy, Deanna, and Amanda, each contributing to his journey in different ways.
The couple met in early 2024 and quickly clicked. They got engaged in March, with Harrison proposing using a striking 6.5-carat diamond he acquired from his pawn shop, joking that its size would make it impossible for her to say no. Angie’s emotional response, he recalled, confirmed his feelings when she began to cry and accepted his proposal.
Setting the stage for the wedding, Harrison humorously shared details of his first proposal being deemed too casual by his daughters. Determined to do better, he arranged a more romantic second proposal in a scenic valley in Chile, where the couple enjoyed an exquisite dinner.
Ultimately, they chose to marry in Las Vegas, as Angie loved the idea of a festive atmosphere with an Elvis impersonator officiating. Harrison acknowledged that he left much of the planning to her, appreciating her vision for the special day.
“It was very Las Vegas,” he said, embracing the fun and flair of their wedding.
The reality star described his relationship with Angie as an adventure, noting a difference in their dynamic compared to past relationships, largely due to his children being grown and Angie’s flourishing career in nursing.
“We’ve been together for two years and have never fought, which I think is a record for any couple,” he said, showing just how content they are together.
For those hesitant about finding love later in life, Harrison offered this perspective: “It’s all about being happy,” he said, encouraging others to seek joy in their lives. “There’s a wonderful world out there.”
