Pawn Stars’ Chumlee & Olivia Hit Turbulence (Are They Together?)

Pawn Stars actor Austin Lee “Chumlee” Russell and his partner Olivia Rademann’s social media posts suggesting they may be over for good. The 40-year-old Nevada native is known for his appearance on the History Channel reality show, where he became an iconic television personality. Chumlee is popular for his quirky personality, which probably charmed Olivia when she started dating him in 2016. The young woman was a student at the University of Nevada at the time. He honed his photography skills.

In 2018, Austin and Olivia got engaged in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Pawn Stars the actor gave his girlfriend a 1.5 carat diamond ring when he proposed to her. The couple also had a pre-wedding party – they tied the knot soon after. The couple seemed to have everything going for them, with Olivia supporting Chumlee in his legal troubles. However, something changed in 2020 when they stopped posting romantic photos. At that point, Chumlee and Olivia didn’t unfollow each other on Instagram — they did, however, delete each other’s photos from their profiles.

Pawn Stars’ Chumlee Has Trouble (With and Without Olivia)

Chumlee is a bit of a bad boy

Although it is uncertain if Chumlee broke up with Olivia, hints strongly suggest that they have ended their relationship. Popular over the years Pawn Stars the actress has had issues (and gone through changes). These things may have ruined his bond with his partner.

In 2013, Chumlee lost a lot of weight by changing her lifestyle. However, after his marriage to Olivia, he weighed more than 350 kilos. In 2020, Chumlee was hospitalized due to a breathing problem. In 2016, he was arrested for drug possession and illegal possession of firearms. This meant she was on probation for most of her relationship.

Chumlee and Olivia’s relationship timeline from Pawn Stars

They didn’t go far

Chumlee and Olivia had a great relationship and enjoyed traveling to exciting destinations. Throughout their relationship, the former couple posted cute photos of each other and appeared on red carpets together. In one sweet selfie, Chumlee even claimed Olivia as hers “baby moose.” Unfortunately, he has erased all traces of Olivia on his social media accounts.

Their problems seemed to start in 2020 – when they stopped posting new milestones and adventures on social media. Olivia, who has seemingly deactivated her Instagram, started posting pictures with American professional poker player Jake Schindler. Meanwhile, Chumlee stopped posting much about her relationship status or hinting at new romantic entanglements on her Instagram.

He left the past behind

In 2023, Chumlee and his ex-wife still followed each other on social media. Also, Olivia liked some of Chumlee’s posts from last year. However, they apparently have had no romantic interaction since then. This suggests that they have moved separately.

The couple may not have publicly revealed the reason for their split, but it could be related to their age difference and distance issues. In one of his older posts, Chumlee hinted that he missed his wife while she went to school at USCB and worked in Las Vegas. The odds are that Pawn Stars the actor couldn’t make his marriage with Olivia work. His own work schedule could also have put a strain on the marriage.

Possible reasons for the separation have been discussed

Chumlee may have put his career first

Besides being a bit shady about his transgressions, Chumlee can be a workaholicby e-celebrity facts. The video above tells the story of their relationship, and “speculations” about their breakup focused on Chumlee’s career. He is a busy reality star who also owns a candy store. It is possible that he could not spend enough quality time with his partner. However, there is no evidence of this. Many people are busy and manage to stay married. According to the clip, Chumlee and Olivia didn’t part in the heat of the moment. They:

really thought about this step

There weren’t many comments on the YouTube video. However, a few people pressed the issue. One thought that Olivia would be better off without Chumlee, who has been on the wrong side of the law. Another seemed to want to date Chumee – they said:

Good thing they’re broken up now, maybe I’ll have a chance with Chumley

Chumlee’s legal problems show that he has a dark side. Although he was pictured cuddling his wife and small lap dog, his marriage to Olivia probably wasn’t all sunshine and roses. It was a bit of a shock when people found out about Chumlee’s dark side, as he seemed quite happy in Pawn Stars. He was essentially the “comic relief” of the series, although the rest of the cast, including Rick Harrison, are also funny people.

Chumlee is not Harrison. He became an unofficial member of the family. He doesn’t have Harrison’s blood though. So he was somewhat out of favor among the cast. Nevertheless, he became one of the most popular characters in the series. The fact that he has apparently been unlucky in love may actually have something to do with his fame and popularity. There’s a lot going on in Chumlee’s life, and it’s always possible that her marriage wasn’t her top priority. Plus, his bad boy ways mean there’s always a chance he was unfaithful. Again, there is no evidence of that.

Chumlee will focus on military stars in 2024

Her latest Instagram post featured Rick Harrison

In 2024, Chums_candy‘s Chumlee radio is silent online except for this one message (as seen above) that he added Chums_candy Instagram account. He has a personal account and another account that focuses on his business. He sells all kinds of candy and the shop is in Sin City, just like the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. In the clip above, he puts way too much vanilla syrup in Rick’s coffee – hilarity ensues.

Pawn Stars‘ Rick also has his own problems. She lost her son to a fentanyl overdose. Rick’s mother also sued him – they were fighting over money. The show has its fair share of bad guys – these wily pawnbrokers sometimes get into trouble. However, Rick’s loss was profound and no one’s fault. Sometimes addiction just takes over. Hopefully Chumlee’s friendship will help Rick stay strong. In the future, Chumlee may find love. It is possible that he has a partner that he does not post about it. Currently, her romantic status is unclear.
