But there has been much more going on in his life recently. On the one hand, the last few years must have been pretty difficult for the star: in 2012 he underwent a divorce from a high school sweet heart and a wife of 18 year. On the other hand, he has recently landed two new jobs as a TV host and released his first book (which is expected to increase Chris Harrison net worth significantly). After so many years working on the same show (and it‘s spin-offs) the change must have been really exciting!

This change in his career almost coincided with a dramatic change in his personal life: Chris decided it is time two part ways with his wife and the mother of his children, Gwen Harrison. In the common statement the couple has claimed: “Though we have made this incredibly difficult decision to separate, our love and mutual respect remain, and we look forward to sharing in the lives of our wonderful children.” Speaking about the current sources of Chris Harrison net worth, he has recently released a book titled The Perfect Letter.
