There are many surprises in life, some happy and others sad. Many people know Frank Fritz as their favorite television personality. He has seen highs and lows in his career. His tale is, in fact, heartwarming.

Frank and Diann Bankson were longtime partners. Regrettably, their breakup had a very negative impact on him, resulting in problems with alcohol, unemployment, and health issues.

Frank and Diann dated intermittently for years, starting when they were 25 years old. After becoming engaged in 2017, they planned a lovely life together and purchased a charming farmhouse in Iowa. However, in the latter part of 2018, things became worse.

Their romance was destroyed when Diann caught Frank with another woman. Frank eventually opened up about how much the betrayal upset him and how it motivated him to get a tattoo as a painful memento.

Frank said, “I bought a house, an expensive ring, and I was going to marry her.” Finding out about her adultery was too much to take. Frank turned to drink as a coping mechanism for the pain and lost a lot of weight at this time.

Frank made the decision to stop dating and concentrate on beating his drinking issue after they broke up.

Frank too had turmoil in his career. His time on the History Channel series “American Pickers” ended in March 2020, allegedly because of health issues following back surgery.

Frank expressed his enthusiasm to rejoin the show once he healed and wanted to return after recovering. But there were no firm arrangements for his return, and it appeared that the performance was going forward without him.
