Fans of “Pawn Stars” star Rick Harrison are sending prayers his way after his rep shared that his mother, Joanne Harrison, has died.
She was 85.
Parade Magazine noted that this is yet another tragic blow for Harrison, who lost his son Adam, who was 38, in January of 2024 to an overdose from fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Harrison has yet to personally address the loss.
Fans commented on TMZ’s story with prayers and condolences.
“Awww that’s so sad,” one person replied. “My condolences are with Rick and his family.”
“My condolences to her family and friends,” another wrote.
The heartbreaking news comes months after Harrison, who is 60, was able to share the good news that he is getting married.
The “Pawn Stars’ star reportedly used a ring from his Gold & Silver Pawn Shop to pop the question, and she shared photos of the moment — him down on one knee — on Instagram.
“She said yes!” he wrote.
Parade reported that the ring was pretty impressive. The site said the ring was originally a 6.5-carat, pear-shaped ring, but Harrison had a new custom setting designed for it. Followers immediately brought up the obvious age difference.
Parade said his fiancée, Angie Polushkin, is a 42-year-old nurse from Las Vegas.
Polushkin will be his fifth wife.
He was last married to Deanna Burditt, five years ago. The two were together for seven years before getting divorced, per Parade.
