Rick Harrison found happiness after tragedy.
Two years after losing his son Adam to a drug overdose, the 60-year-old “Pawn Stars” lead tied the knot with Agripina “Angie” Polushkin, 42, in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The couple were married by an Elvis Presley impersonator at the Little White Chapel, and then had an intimate celebration at Harrison’s barbecue restaurant, Rick’s Rollin Smoke BBQ & Tavern, according to People.
“We are so excited to start this next chapter as husband and wife and celebrate with friends and family in Las Vegas, and also at our wedding later this month,” the newlyweds said in a statement to the outlet.
“It has been such an adventure already, and we are looking forward to all of it,” they added.
Harrison previously confirmed he met his now-wife in January 2024.
“Angie and I met 6 months ago, and she is a nurse in Las Vegas,” he told People in June 2024. “We’ve been in Europe the last couple of weeks celebrating her birthday.”
The reality star announced his engagement to Polushkin last March with photos of him proposing under a tree at a vineyard in Casablanca, Chile.
“She said yes!” he captioned the post.
Polushkin shared her own Instagram post with more engagement pictures, writing, “We toured a beautiful winery in Chile and Rick got down on one knee 🥰.”
According to TMZ, Harrison previously proposed to Polushkin in his living room, which his stepdaughters called “the most unromantic proposal ever,” so he decided to do it again during the couple’s trip to Chile.
Harrison is now on his fourth marriage. He was married to Kim Harrison from 1982 to 1985, Tracy Harrison from 1986 to 2011, and Deanna Burditt from 2013 to 2020.
With Kim, Harrison shared son Adam, who died of a fentanyl overdose at the age of 39 in January 2024.
The Gold & Silver Pawn Shop owner opened up about the tragedy on “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” last March.
“I think about him every day,” said Harrison. “In his 20s, he had drug problems. I mean, God, I put him in rehab so many times and every time he’d be doing great, and then he would just fall back.”
The History Channel star said he “second guesses” everything after Adam’s death.
“It’s like, ‘Could I have done this? Could I have done this? Could I have done this? Could I have done this?’ And it’s like it goes through your brain constantly,” he said. “There’s not a day I don’t [think] about him.”
