“The Price Is Right” host Drew Carey can “finally move on” after his former fiancée, Amie Harwick, was murdered in February 2020.
In an interview with People magazine, Carey explained that since Gareth Pursehouse’s conviction in September, he’s been able to “let out a breath.”
“I can barely remember the guy’s name — that’s how much I’ve put him out of my life — but ever since the final sentencing, it feels like we’ve all let out a breath and are able to finally move on,” Carey told the outlet. “The whole process is over now, and there’s nothing else to be done and nothing else to worry about. … Just speaking just for myself, it’s been quite a load off.”
