After the sudden passing of Frank Fritz, who was famous for appearing in the reality series American Pickers, many people started showing concern about his family, wife, and children.
However, the 60-year-old actor Frank Fritz never revealed any details about getting married or having a wife to the public.
Further, his lack of activity on his social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, made it difficult to find any details about his recent relationship.
Moreover, even after his passing in 2024, no women or children came out to pay tribute to the actors, leading people to think he never started a family of his own.
Frank Fritz was previously rumored to have a wife named Diann, however she was just his girlfriend!
In 2021, many people speculated that Frank Fritz was in a marital relationship with his long-term girlfriend Diann.
Frank Fritz often posted photos with Diann on his official Facebook account, which is currently unavailable.

Similarly, in late 2016, Fritz shared a Facebook post with pictures of Diann, including her daughter Paige, whom he shared with her ex-husband and granddaughter Eulalia while referring to them as his own “granddaughter.”
His following post shocked many people, eliciting rumors and gossip about his marriage and having a secret family.
However, the antique dealer Frank Fritz later confirmed that he had not tied the knot yet, adding, “Diann’s family is my family. It’s great being Grandpa Frank! I love my girls.“
The couple remained in a relationship for several years before having a messy separation in 2019.
During an interview with The Sun in July 2021, Fritz discussed his relationship status and shared his heartbreak from his last relationship with Diann.
He claimed,
“The main problem was this girlfriend I had, I thought I was getting married and I bought a brand new house. Then I found out that all the time while I was on the road, she had a boyfriend back here.“

His break-up with Diann was not easy for him as he claimed it hurt his feelings, self-esteem, and the whole world. To help himself forget her, he even started drinking too much and claimed he had never drunk that much before.
After Fritz’s tragic love story starts ruining Diann’s reputation, she replies to his statement through The SUN, saying, “It’s not true what he’s saying. If he’s trying to make me look like the bad person of course I’m going to say it’s not true, because it’s not.“
