LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Rick Harrison, best known as the face of 'Pawn Stars', is ready to take his fifth trip down the aisle.

Rick Harrison pops the question to Angie Polushkin with 'breathtaking' 6.5-carat diamond ring

Rick Harrison broke the news on Instagram with a series of engagement photos, one of which showed him down on one knee in front of a stunning landscape. He captioned the post, "She said yes."

But this wasn’t actually his first proposal to Polushkin. According to TMZ, Harrison had already asked her to marry him at home. However, after being playfully teased by his daughters for the lack of romance, he decided to stage a more picturesque moment.

TMZ reports that Harrison popped the question with a stunning 6.5-carat gemstone from his Las Vegas pawn shop. Describing the ring, his representative said it was "breathtaking just like Angie is."

Harrison has been married four times before. His first marriage to Kim Harrison lasted from 1982 to 1984, followed by a 25-year union with Tracy Harrison that ended in 2011.

He then married Deanna Burditt in 2013, but they divorced in 2020. His most recent marriage, to Amanda Palmer, was brief, lasting from 2021 until their 2023 split.

His engagement announcement comes nearly a year after the tragic death of his son, Adam, who died from a drug overdose in January 2024.

In a statement shared with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Harrison family expressed their sorrow, saying, "Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss."

Fans divided as Rick Harrison gets engaged to Angie Polushkin

'Pawn Stars' personality Rick Harrison recently announced his engagement, but while some fans shared congratulatory messages, others took a more skeptical approach focusing on the noticeable age difference between him and his fiancee.

Many supporters flooded the comments with excitement over the proposal. "Congrats!!!!! You chose the best place in the world," one person wrote. Another user congratulated the couple, "Congrats!!!!! All the best wishes to you."

However, others couldn’t resist making lighthearted jokes about their apparent age gap, with one user quipping, "Looks like this could be your granddaughter."

Another sarcastically questioned the authenticity of the engagement ring, writing, "Is that a real diamond, Rick? Mind if I have a buddy come check it out to see if it’s real or not?"

"Of course she did, she’s half your age and she is seeing the bag," one more remarked, while another simply stated, "Bro has been married like 5 times."
