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.

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.
The Fast N’ Loud Tv Host is currently seeing Katerina Deason – the former wife to Darwin Deason, one of Texas billionaires. Rumor has it that she might be Richard Rawlings’ new wife in a couple of years.

The mother of one is also lucky to be a graduate from the University of Illinois. Immediately after getting her degree, she signed a four-year contract with the Department of Defense to work as their IT specialist.
Monotony did not suit her, so she moved right after her contract and went to work for a consulting firm in Schaumburg.

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.
Some sources say otherwise. Nonetheless, he shared a picture of their engagement on Instagram on August 18th, 2019 – something not many fans took positively. Most have dubbed her a gold digger, but considering she left a billionaire for Richard Rawlings’ net worth of $20 million, it disproves all logic
Social media activities.
After her divorce to Richard Rawlings, Suzanne Rawlings deleted all her social media pages. It seems like she decided to live her life off the spotlight finally.
Richard Rawlings, on the other hand, is very vocal and continues to engage his followers on both Facebook and Instagram. On most of his posts, you can see him posing with his cars fresh out of the garage—otherwise, its just promotion material for his shows and work.
