Wedding Details and Celebrations
Rick Harrison, the host of "Pawn Stars," married Agripina "Angie" Polushkin, 42, on January 3, 2026, in a ceremony held at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The wedding was officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator, a choice that Harrison described as "so Vegas." Following the ceremony, the couple celebrated at Harrison's restaurant, Rick's Rollin Smoke BBQ & Tavern. They plan to have a larger wedding celebration in Cancun, Mexico, later this month.
Harrison, now 60, expressed that this marriage marks a significant moment in his life, stating, "I'm the happiest I've ever been." He emphasized the importance of happiness, noting that he has learned to focus on joy after enduring personal tragedies, including the death of his son Adam from a fentanyl overdose in January 2024 and the passing of his mother Joanne later that year.
Relationship Background
Harrison and Polushkin met in early 2024 and became engaged in March 2025 at a vineyard in Casablanca, Chile. Harrison proposed with a custom 6.5-carat pear-shaped diamond ring, which he humorously noted was so impressive that "she can't say no." He initially proposed in a casual manner, which his daughters deemed unromantic, prompting him to redo the proposal in a more elaborate setting.
Harrison has been married four times prior to this union, with his previous marriages including Kim Harrison, Tracy Harrison, Deanna Burditt, and Amanda Palmer. He reflected on his relationship with Polushkin, stating, "We've been together for two years, haven't been in one fight, you know, which I think is a record with any couple."
Personal Reflections and Future Plans
In interviews, Harrison has shared his philosophy on happiness, asserting that material wealth does not guarantee joy. He remarked, "I know guys with 10 times as much money as me, and they're not happy." He also expressed gratitude for Polushkin's support during difficult times, highlighting her role in his life as a source of strength.
Looking ahead, Harrison is optimistic about their future together. He stated, "Life is absolutely amazing if you want to make it amazing," and encouraged others to pursue love and happiness, regardless of age. The couple's journey together is described as an adventure, and they are eager to celebrate their marriage with friends and family in both Las Vegas and Mexico.
Criticism & Opposition
While Harrison's marriage has been met with enthusiasm, some critics have raised concerns about the age difference and the rapid pace of their relationship. However, Harrison has dismissed such criticisms, focusing instead on the happiness and compatibility he shares with Polushkin.
