Rick Ness returned to Gold Rush this season, which put a lot of fans’ minds at ease. He had gone through a period of severe depression and had also struggled with his love life, as well. The good news is that he seems to be doing much better. Not only that, but it seems his love life is still strong with Leese M. Arie.
Here is what we know about Rick and Leese.
Rick Ness and Leese M. Arie still together
While Leese M. Arie has made her Instagram account private since she and Rick Ness began struggling with their relationship, fans who follow it still share some of her posts on places like Reddit. One fan shared a recent Christmas photo of the two of them. It showed the couple are still together despite all their struggles over the last two years.
The photo showed Rick and Leese in front of a Christmas tree as she wished fans “blessed and happy holidays” from the two of them. This also comes just two months after Leese said she was going to “lay low” in the real world. She did so because she was tired of people blaming her for causing Rick’s “bad choices.” Leese noted people were contacting her constantly about Rick since he returned to Gold Rush to find out what was going on. In that statement, she said that there were things she couldn’t mention without getting into “legal trouble.”
She then repeated the claims that Rick lied, cheated, and refused to get help when he had a chance. Leese also said that she had nothing to do with his “bad decisions.” Plus, she wanted to get him to seek help and “save him.” Finally, she finished the statement by saying Rick “destroyed my name and reputation.” This wasn’t the first time that Rick Ness and Leese M. Arie broke up, and like every other time, it didn’t last. Two months later, they were back together again in time for Christmas.
Fans on Reddit not surprised at Rick Ness going back to Leese
The fans on Reddit looked at the photo of Rick Ness and Leese M. Arie and many noticed how Rick looked. While the OP asked if he had a nose job, others commented that he looked healthier than he did on Gold Rush, which was recorded long before it airs on Discovery Channel.
Others asked if it was Leese and then the comments ranged from positive to negative in the thread.
“Rick looks like he’s pretty healthy compared to the season. Rooting for him!”“Best of luck to both of them. If they’re happy then good for them.”“Hoping nothing but happiness and a positive future for them both. Looking good!”“Does anyone have the last pic she posted of him before they broke up. He looked almost dead.”
