If you watch Pawn Stars, then it's likely you know Rick Harrison, the co-owner and co-founder of World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. "The Spotter," so he's called by the other cast members on the show, is the main character on the popular History series.

That said, there's always a slew of questions about his personal life, specifically his love life since it's not always highlighted on the show. So, who is Rick Harrison married to? Here's everything we know about his wife and relationship history.

Who is Rick Harrison's wife?

Rick Harrison's most recent wife is named Deanna Burditt — but unfortunately, she's now his ex-wife.

Evidently, Rick and Deanna split back in 2020 and have been divorced for about a year. "I can confirm Rick is divorced and has been so since last summer," a rep for the Pawn Stars star told Fox News on Sept. 6, 2022.

In the legal documents, per TMZ, Rick cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce. The paperwork was filed on July 1, 2020, in Clark County, Nevada.

The couple married back in July 2013 in Laguna Beach, Calif. According to People, the duo said "I do" in front of 180 guests. His co-star Chumlee was the ring bearer and Counting Cars star Danny Koker was the minister.

When they got engaged eight years ago in 2012 (one year after meeting in 2011), the TV star gushed over Deanna in an interview with People. "I’m the happiest guy alive," he said at the time. "I’m living the dream."

By the sounds of it, it seemed like Rick knew from the start that he wanted to marry Deanna. "I didn’t really ask her, I told her ‘Girl, I’m marrying you,’ and then I gave her the ring," he explained of the sweet Valentine's Day proposal.

Has Rick Harrison been married before?

Yes, prior to Deanna, Rick was married twice. He was first married to Kim Harrison from 1982 until 1985. A year later, he married Tracy Harrison, and the pair was hitched until 2011 (around the time he met Deanna). Like Deanna's first two marriages, Rick's first two marriages also ended in divorce.

Does Rick Harrison have children?

Yes, Rick is a proud dad to three sons, but Chumlee isn't one of them. He shares Corey and Adam with his first wife, Kim, and Jake from his second wife, Tracy. Meanwhile, Deanna also has three kids, three daughters, from her first two marriages.

"It’s perfect symmetry," Rick once said of their blended family. "I’ve got three boys. She’s got three girls. We’re basically the Brady Bunch."

Rick Harrison's son Adam tragically passed away in 2024.

In January 2024, Rick confirmed via his rep to TMZ that his son Adam had died of an overdose of fentanyl. "Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose. The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better." Adam was 39.
