Richard Rawlings’ Fourth Marriage, Katerina Deason’s Third

Fourth times a charm for Richard. His first wife was Karen Grimes. They married in 1993 and divorced a year later. Five years later, in 1999, Richard married Suzanne Marie Mergele. That marriage lasted until 2009, when they divorced. But, they got back together again and they remarried in 2015, but divorced in 2019.

But really, this is his third marriage partner, just like his new wife!

This is Katerina’s third marriage. Prior to Richard Rawlings, she was married to Texas billionaire Darwin Deason. They married in 2008. Why does his name sound familiar? He sold his company ACS to Xerox for a cool $6.4 billion.

There is no knowledge if Katerina has children, but Richard has a stepson, Sinjin Venegas, from his previous marriage to Suzanne. And this stepson is a big part of Richard’s life. Sinjin, who was named after professional volleyball player Sinjin Smith, is currently knocking out social media for Gas Monkey.

I love you Richard with all my heart and I promise to live every day trying to make you as happy as you have made me. ❤️”
