Rick Harrison, an American businessman and television personality, got divorced with his wife Deanna in Clark County on the down low, US media reported. Harrison filed for divorce from his wife in Nevada on July 1, 2020, almost seven years after their wedding.
According to TMZ, the timing for the divorce made it possible for it to remain under the radar as it happened in the middle of the pandemic and the George Floyd protests going on.
A representative of Harrison confirmed that the divorce took place last summer. “I can confirm Rick is divorced and has been so since last summer,” the representative told Fox News.
According to the documents seen by TMZ, Harrison said that they had become divergent in their marriage. He added that the marriage did not work out and the divorce was a mutual decision.
“Tastes, mental dispositions, views, likes, and dislikes have become so divergent that they have become incompatible in marriage,” Harrison said. He further added that there was no window for reconciliation as husband and wife.
Reportedly, Deanna at the time of divorce asked for alimony. However, this was quickly settled between the couple and reached a settlement agreement in September 2020. Issues like alimony, support and property division were finalised.
The couple tied the knot in 2013 in Laguna Beach, California, before getting engaged in 2012.
Reportedly, the wedding was attended by 180 guests. His co-star of ‘Pawn Stars’ Chumlee was the ring bearer and Counting Cars star Danny Koker was the minister. A band called Steel Panther was invited to play the music.
Even though Rick and Deanna do not have any minor children together, Harrison said “I got 3 great daughters out of it”. He was referring to Deanna’s children from a previous relationship.
As for Harrison, he has a son and daughter from his first marriage and another son from his second marriage. His three sons are: Corey (38 years old), Adam (37 years old) and Jake.
