Pawn Stars actor Rick Harrison is on the mend after undergoing emergency bypass surgery.

A family spokesperson revealed that Harrison, 61, had gone to the hospital expecting a more routine procedure but was found to need bypass surgery instead.

“He went in for a simpler procedure and they found he needed a bypass,” the spokesperson told People. “He is resting comfortably and looking forward to a full recovery. He is grateful for the doctors and staff at the hospital and that his wife and family can be with him during this time.”

The spokesperson shared that Harrison is resting comfortably and is expected to make a full recovery, adding that he is grateful for the care he's received and for having his wife and family by his side during this time.

Harrison married his wife, Agripina "Angie" Polushkin, earlier this year in a small ceremony in Las Vegas, followed by a larger destination wedding in Mexico just weeks later.

The couple began dating in early 2024 after meeting online, and Harrison proposed in early 2025, later re-proposing during a trip abroad after his stepdaughters felt the first proposal wasn't romantic enough.

Harrison has been married multiple times in the past. He was previously married to Deanna Burditt, with the couple quietly divorcing in 2020. H

e was also previously married to Kim Harrison, with whom he shares two sons, and Tracy Harrison, with whom he shares another son. One of his sons passed away in early 2024.
