Katerina Deason's relationship with Richard Rawlings brought her further into the public spotlight. Rawlings, best known as the host of Fast N' Loud and founder of the Gas Monkey Garage brand, proposed to Katerina in August 2019 during a vacation at the Be Tulum resort in Quintana Roo, Mexico. He shared the proposal—which took place on a beach decorated with rose petals—on social media, captioning one photo, “BOOM.”
According to the couple, their connection was immediate, with both describing their relationship as love at first sight. Katerina has been enthusiastically embraced by Richard’s family, including his sister Daphne and brother-in-law Ken Kaminski, who joined the couple on their engagement trip. Rawlings has publicly referred to Katerina as his best friend and soulmate.
Before meeting Katerina, Rawlings had been married twice. He married his first wife, Karen K. Grames, in 1993, though the marriage ended in divorce a year later. His second marriage was to Suzanne Rawlings in 1999. The couple divorced in 2009, reconciled in 2015, but ended their marriage again in 2019—the same year he became engaged to Katerina.
Katerina Deason’s personal net worth is estimated to be approximately $1.4 million, bolstered largely by the financial settlement from her divorce with Darwin Deason. Although she has been described in some outlets as an actress, there is limited public record of her professional work in entertainment. Today, she shares a luxurious lifestyle with Richard Rawlings, who reportedly holds a net worth of $20 million.
The couple resides in Rawlings’ $1.7 million mansion and enjoy a shared appreciation for high-end vehicles—Rawlings is known for his expansive collection of exotic cars. As she continues life alongside one of reality television’s most recognized automotive personalities, Katerina maintains a largely private yet enviable public persona.
