According to TMZ, a representative for the Harrison family said Rick is doing well and remains hopeful for a full recovery. He is grateful for the care he has received from the doctors and hospital staff. His wife, Angie, and other family members have remained by his side throughout his recovery.
The reality star’s health emergency comes in the same year he married Angie, a nurse in Las Vegas. The couple exchanged vows at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on January 3. The newlyweds later celebrated their marriage at Rick’s Rollin Smoke BBQ & Tavern. The restaurant, owned by Rick, is located near the pawn shop. The couple told People at that time, “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. It has been such an adventure already, and we are looking forward to all of it.”
Rick has been married several times before. He divorced Deanna Burditt in 2020, about seven years after their marriage. Before her, Rick was married to Kim Harrison, the mother of his sons Adam and Corey, to Tracy Harrison, with whom he shares a son, Jake, and to Amanda Palmer, his fourth wife.
Rick became a household name through the History Channel’s hit reality series, which premiered in 2009. The show, which went on hiatus in 2025, offered a behind-the-scenes look at the daily business of the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. The popular series is planning to make its return in early 2027, as per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
