TV star Frank Fritz has gone through a messy breakup that led to alcoholism, joblessness, and a health scare. Fritz has been in an on-and-off relationship with his longtime lover, Diann Bankson, who is now an ex.

“American Pickers” host Frank Fritz met Diann Bankson at age 25, and the pair dated periodically throughout the years. The couple got engaged in 2017 and soon moved in together a year later, in 2018, after purchasing their Iowa farmhouse.

However, things went downhill that same year in November when Bankson claimed that she “walked in” on Fritz “and caught him in bed with another woman.”

Interestingly, during an exclusive interview with The Sun, Fritz revealed that Bankson cheated on him and even got a tattoo as a reminder of her “betrayal.” He said he wanted to marry her.

“I was going to get married, I bought a house and a big expensive ring, and then I found out my fiancée had been dating somebody else for two and half years,” Fritz revealed.
