<\/p>\nUnfortunately, things went from bad to worse when Bankson accused her partner of cheating, claiming she had walked into their bedroom and discovered him with someone else. Following this incident, their relationship rapidly deteriorated, resulting in Frank\u2019s alcoholism, unemployment, and an increased risk to his health.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The time they spent together left an indelible mark on both parties; even though they are no longer together, they will never forget their turbulent relationship.<\/p>\n
Fritz was devastated when he discovered that Bankson had betrayed him. He had already purchased a house and an expensive ring for their upcoming wedding. Fritz got a tattoo that read \u201cOnce a cheater, always a cheater\u201d as a reminder not to repeat the same mistake.<\/p>\n
This incident caused him both emotional and financial distress. He began drinking heavily to cope with his heartbreak, significantly pushing his weight to plummet. He admitted that he had tried everything he could to get over her but had ultimately failed. Despite this, Fritz still had feelings for Bankson and wanted to marry her regardless of what she had done.<\/p>\n
Fritz was dealing with health issues, which caused him to take time away from American Pickers, the show he hosted on the History Channel. His absence had been difficult for the show\u2019s fans, who were eager for him to return so they could enjoy it once more. He had back surgery, and after much healing and recovery, Fritz declared that he was ready to return to his long-running series with zeal and determination.<\/p>\n
Fritz reported that, while no official announcement had been made regarding his reappearance, the showrunner had contacted him and promised to bring him back. Nonetheless, Fritz was not considered for a hosting role at this time, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, his ex-girlfriend, Bankson, has revealed her relationship with Eric Longlett, an engineering administration manager. She proudly shared photos of their recent outing at Elton John\u2019s Yellow Brick Road Farewell Tour on social media, captioning them: \u201cHe took me to see Elton John\u2019s farewell tour, Yellow Brick Road. I\u2019m a very fortunate woman. I adore you, babe<\/p>\n
Bankson\u2019s announcement of her new companion coincided with her decision not to return as a co-host on the show. Fritz\u2019s long involvement in the program could be noticed \u2014 he\u2019d been the host for over ten years \u2014 but there appeared to be no plans for him to return as a presenter. She expressed her gratitude for being fortunate enough to have found Eric and had no plans to reunite with Fritz anytime soon.<\/p>\n
