Speculations still fly around about the cause of such a hasty divorce, but Rawlings has never confirmed nor denied any of them.
He took about a year to get back into the dating pool, and when he eventually did, it was with the beautiful Suzanne Marie Mergele.
They saw each other for close to three years before deciding on marriage in a raunchy ceremony in Las Vegas in the year 1999.
The marriage seemed to have brought good tidings as in that same year, Richard opened his printing and advertising company called Lincoln Press.

Two is a lucky charm as his second marriage to Suzanne lasted a whopping ten years. By that time, Fast n’ Loud star had his reality tv show and had opened his restaurant business.
According to him, life got overwhelming, and he found himself traveling a lot with no time for his wife. As a result, Suzanne couldn’t cope with his busy lifestyle filed for divorce on August 14th, 1997.
The two reportedly remained in contact as friends but not lovers. This was partly because Suzanne manned the Gas Monkey Bar and Grill that they now co-own. Their friendship budded into a relationship once again, and after about five years of separation, they got back together.
This time, their marriage took place in the Cabo, Mexico, in the year 2015. Since marriage is not among Richard Rawling’s strongest suits, on March 11th, 2019, he announced via twitter that they were filing for divorce again.

Richard Rawlings has moved on: He is Married to New Wife Katerina Deason
Richard Rawlings may be going on a love record following his fourth engagement to Katerina Panos Deason. But who’s counting anyway? What’s awkward about their engagement is that at the time of proposal, Katerina was still married to her former billionaire husband, Darwin Dawson.
