Rick Harrison, star of the reality TV series "Pawn Stars," has undergone emergency bypass surgery after doctors discovered the need for one during what was meant to be a more routine procedure. A family spokesperson said he is "resting comfortably" and expected to make a full recovery, adding that he is grateful to hospital staff and to have his wife and family by his side.

The health scare comes months after Harrison told Fox News Digital he was the "happiest" he had ever been following his marriage to Agripina "Angie" Polushkin on 3 January at Las Vegas's Little White Wedding Chapel. The wedding followed a difficult period for Harrison, including the death of his son Adam in January 2024, aged 39, from an accidental fentanyl overdose, and the death of his mother, Joanne Harrison, in November 2025, aged 85. He has credited Angie with supporting him through those losses.
