Rick Harrison, the iconic ‘Pawn Stars’ patriarch, married his longtime girlfriend Angie Polushkin in Las Vegas just two months after the death of his mother, Joanne Harrison — a poignant moment of love and resilience amid personal tragedy.
Rick Harrison’s Vegas Wedding: Love Amid Loss
On Saturday, January 3, 2026, Rick Harrison, 60, exchanged vows with Angie Polushkin, 42, in Las Vegas — a city known for its grand celebrations and emotional turning points. The ceremony, held in Sin City, featured an Elvis Presley impersonator officiating the union, adding a touch of musical nostalgia to the occasion. The newlyweds celebrated the day with friends and family at Rick’s restaurant, Rick’s Rollin Smoke BBQ & Tavern, located next to his famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.
“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,” Rick and Angie told People. “It has been such an adventure already, and we are looking forward to all of it.”
A Timeline of Grief and Renewal
Rick’s wedding came less than two months after the devastating loss of his mother, Joanne Harrison, who died on November 5, 2025, at the age of 85. The emotional weight of this loss was compounded by the recent passing of his son, Adam Harrison, who died in January 2024 at age 39 from a drug overdose — an event that left the family in mourning and Rick visibly shaken.
Despite these profound losses, Rick chose to honor his family’s legacy by moving forward with love. His marriage to Angie Polushkin, whom he met during a trip to Chile, symbolizes a personal rebirth. The couple’s engagement was announced in March 2025 via Instagram, with Rick sharing a carousel of photos from a romantic proposal at a vineyard in Casablanca, Chile. Angie, in turn, shared photos on her own grid, captioning them with the song “I Said Yes” by Sunny Bloom — a musical echo of their shared joy.
A Legacy of Love and Family
This is Rick Harrison’s third marriage — his first to Tracy Harrison from 1986 to 2011, and his second to Deanna Burditt from 2013 to 2020. He is the father of two sons, Corey and Jake, and stepfather to three daughters, Sarina, Ciana, and Marissa — all of whom have been central to his life’s narrative.
His decision to marry Angie Polushkin, a woman who has stood by him through his darkest moments, is a testament to his strength and emotional maturity. The wedding, held in Las Vegas — a city that has seen countless love stories — is a fitting backdrop for a man who has built his life around resilience, legacy, and family.
Fan Reactions and the Future of ‘Pawn Stars’
While the wedding is a deeply personal milestone, fans of ‘Pawn Stars’ have responded with overwhelming support. Many have praised Rick for his emotional honesty and for choosing to move forward with love after such profound loss. The show’s enduring popularity, rooted in its authenticity and the Harrison family’s dynamic, suggests that Rick’s new chapter may be welcomed by viewers as a sign of hope and renewal.
Though the show’s future remains uncertain, Rick’s presence on screen — whether in his iconic gold and silver pawn shop or in his personal life — continues to captivate audiences. His marriage to Angie Polushkin may be the beginning of a new era — one defined not just by the artifacts he appraises, but by the love he chooses to live with.
