Who Is Korina Harrison? The Story Behind “Kiki”

Korina Harrison — known to friends and family as “Kiki” — became publicly known through her marriage to Corey “Big Hoss” Harrison of History Channel’s Pawn Stars. Her time in the public eye was brief and by most accounts unwanted; she has never sought a media profile of her own, and the bulk of what’s written about her online recycles the same handful of facts from 2018 news coverage.

This piece separates what’s actually documented from what’s widely repeated but unverified. Much of the “biography” content about Korina Harrison circulating on the web is speculative filler with no sourcing — this update removes that and keeps only what can be traced to a reported source.

Quick Facts

Who Is Korina Harrison?

Korina Harrison is best known as the ex-wife of Corey Harrison, a cast member of Pawn Stars, the History Channel series about the Harrison family’s Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. She is reported to have worked as an executive assistant, and by multiple accounts kept a low profile throughout her relationship with Corey and after their split.

Unlike some people connected to reality TV, Korina has not pursued media appearances, sponsorships, or a public persona of her own. She deleted her social media accounts following the divorce, and there is no confirmed recent public activity from her. That absence of a paper trail is, on its own, worth noting: most of what circulates about her “current life,” hobbies, or opinions on these topics is unsourced speculation rather than reported fact, and this article does not repeat it.

Marriage to Corey Harrison

Korina and Corey Harrison married on May 26, 2017, a date confirmed across multiple entertainment outlets and Corey’s own public statements at the time. Corey had already been a familiar face on Pawn Stars, which premiered in 2009, so the relationship drew media attention that Korina herself reportedly did not seek out.

Little has been reported about how the couple met, and no primary source (interview, official statement) details the early stages of their relationship. Claims elsewhere about the specifics of their courtship are unverified and have been left out here rather than repeated as fact.

Divorce and Son

Roughly a year into the marriage, in August 2018, Corey Harrison filed for divorce from Korina. Entertainment outlets covering the filing at the time reported that the couple had already agreed on custody and support arrangements before filing, and that a Las Vegas judge finalized the divorce quickly — within about a month, according to contemporaneous reporting.

Corey gave the following explanation for the split, quoted by multiple outlets at the time: “Karina and I love each other very much. With our competing work schedules, we just weren’t able to make the marriage work but remain good friends and want only the best for each other.” (Some outlets spelled her name “Karina” in this quote and their coverage; other sources, including Corey’s own social media, use “Korina.”)

The couple’s son was born in October 2018, shortly after the divorce was finalized. Entertainment press at the time reported the couple intended to name him Richard Benjamin Harrison, after Corey’s grandfather and Pawn Stars patriarch “The Old Man,” though no birth announcement or confirmation of the final name was ever made public. Co-parenting arrangements following the divorce were not detailed in any reliable source found for this update, so specifics beyond the initial custody agreement are unconfirmed.

What We Know vs. What’s Unconfirmed

• Confirmed: Korina and Corey Harrison married May 26, 2017, and divorced after about a year, with the split finalized around September 2018.
• Confirmed (Corey’s own statement): Corey publicly attributed the divorce to conflicting work schedules and described the split as amicable.
• Reported, not independently verified: That Korina worked as an executive assistant before and after the marriage. This detail appears consistently in entertainment coverage but has not been confirmed through an employer, LinkedIn profile, or her own statement.
• Reported, uncertain follow-through: In November 2019, Corey posted an Instagram caption suggesting a possible reconciliation with Korina (“a year and a half after you leave to make you realize it’s time to come home”). No outlet has confirmed whether the two actually reunited, remarried, or how long any reconciliation lasted. As of the most recent reporting found (2024), Corey’s relationship status was described by entertainment outlets as unclear.
• Unconfirmed / not verifiable: Any figure for Korina’s net worth. No court filing, interview, or reputable financial report gives a number, and any dollar figure attached to her name elsewhere online is a guess, not a sourced estimate.
• Unconfirmed: Details of her current location, career, relationship status, or hobbies. She has no active public profile, and outlets claiming to know her “current life” are not citing verifiable sources.

Net Worth: Why There’s No Reliable Number

No reputable source publishes a verified net worth for Korina Harrison. She has never held public office, run a public company, or given interviews about her finances, and there is no court record or reporting that discloses details from the 2018 divorce settlement. Any specific dollar amount attached to her name should be treated as speculation rather than fact. This differs from Corey Harrison, whose Pawn Stars salary and business dealings have been discussed in entertainment press, because his income is tied to a public-facing TV role.

Where Is She Now?

Korina Harrison has kept a private profile since her divorce. She does not appear to maintain public social media accounts, and no recent interviews, public appearances, or verified updates about her life have surfaced in entertainment coverage. Reporting on Corey Harrison’s own status as recently as 2024 noted that even his relationship status was unclear to outlets covering him, underscoring how little verified information exists about either party’s current personal life.

Readers should treat claims about her “current life,” career specifics, or whereabouts circulating on other sites with skepticism unless they cite an actual source — most appear to be paraphrased from the same 2018 divorce coverage with invented detail added.
