Deanna Burditt and Rick Harrison Began Dating in 2011 and Got Engaged in 2012
It was in 2011 that Deanna Burditt first met Rick Harrison. The meet-cute took place at the Aureole Restaurant in Las Vegas and they started dating afterward. At that time, Rick Harrison was already a famous reality TV star, and he and Deanna lived appropriately.
Though Deanna wasn’t one for the spotlight, she attended some industry events with Rick.
She, however, drew the line at appearing in episodes of his TV series, firmly staying away from it. Despite her aversion to the spotlight, she and Rick got along quite well, and it wasn’t quite long before the pawn shop owner popped the big question. Rick Harrison proposed to Deanna Burditt on Valentine’s Day, 2013.
For the proposal, he took her to the Aureole Restaurant, where they had their first date, and presented her with a two-and-a-half-carat diamond ring, and she said yes to him. The engagement made the news. Harrison described himself as the happiest guy alive and added that he was living the dream. He also joked that he didn’t really ask Deanna to marry him but only said, “Girl, I am marrying you” and gave her the ring.
They Got Married in California in 2013

The marriage marked the third walk down the aisle for both bride and groom. Prior to Rick, Deanna Burditt was twice married and divorced. The same goes for Rick. His first marriage was to Kim Harrison from 1982 to 1985. His second marriage was to Tracy Harrison from 1986 to 2011.
The Couple Divorced After Seven Years of Marriage

The couple became a fan favorite, and many thought that they would go the long haul. This was, however, not to be as Deanna Burditt and Rick Harrison got divorced in 2020. The news of the couple’s divorce only filtered out a year later, and many were quite shocked to hear of it.
Reports by TMZ show that it was Harrison that filed for divorce on the 1st of July 2020 in Nevada. The primary reason was irreconcilable differences. His filing also stated that he and Burditt’s tastes, mental dispositions, views, likes, and dislikes had grown so divergent that they had become incompatible with marriage.
The divorce was shaping up to be a contentious one when Burditt initially claimed alimony, but she and Harrison were able to reach an amicable settlement, and the divorce became final in September 2020. The exact amount the legal secretary got is not known, but it could be in the 7-figure region.

Since the divorce, Burditt has lived her life out of the spotlight. It is possible that she still lives in Las Vegas. It is also possible that she is now in another city altogether. There is nothing to indicate that she is remarried, unlike her ex-husband, who got married to Amanda Palmer in 2021.
