Frank Fritz wife: Was American Pickers star married?
Former American Pickers star Frank Fritz has died at the age of 60, according to his family.
Fritz, part of the original series’ duo, had suffered a stroke back in 2022.
‘This is a very tough announcement to make Frank passed away last night around 7:30 he was surrounded by myself, Mike Wolfe made a high speed to get back here from Nashville and other friends,’ read a post on Fritz’ Facebook account on Tuesday.
‘Please understand this is a very rough time for us. Including Mike so be kind as we are trying to figure out how to cope with this. Thank you all for your love and support through the years.’
Fritz’ former co-star Mike Wolfe also confirmed his death on Tuesday but was American Pickers star married?
Does ‘American Pickers’ star Frank Fritz have a wife?
It’s difficult to track down anything about Frank’s current relationship status given his lack of activity on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
However, fans began to think that Frank’s long-term relationship was headed for marriage.
At the time, Frank was dating a woman named Diann, whom he occasionally posted photos of on his Facebook page.
In December 2016, Frank shared a picture of Diann, her daughter Paige, and Paige’s daughter Eulalia, eliciting shocked responses from his followers when he referred to the infant as his “granddaughter.”
The antiques dealer later clarified that he hadn’t gotten married, but noted, “Diann’s family is my family. It is great being Grandpa Frank! I love my girls.”
Sadly, in an interview with The Sun in July 2021, Frank gave an update about his relationship as he entered rehab. “The main problem was this girlfriend I had, I thought I was getting married and I bought a brand new house. Then I found out that all the time while I was on the road, she had a boyfriend back here.”
He added, “It hurt my feelings, my self-esteem and my whole world. I gave it a good shot, I tried to drink her away. I never drank that much before.”
In response, Diann told The Sun, “It’s not true what he’s saying. If he’s trying to make me look like the bad person of course I’m going to say it’s not true, because it’s not.” She elaborated, “I don’t care to have drama or chaos in my life, I’m just trying to heal right now. It’s been two years, I’m ready to move on.” This implies that Diann and Frank officially broke up around 2019.
