The Short Answer: Married to Joseph Price
Tonya Harding married Joseph Jens Price on June 23, 2010. She was 39 and he was a heating-and-air-conditioning technician turned stay-at-home dad. Sixteen years later, they remain together in Vancouver, Washington, living the quiet family life Harding never had as a young skater.
Their son, Gordon Price, was born February 19, 2011, when Harding was 40. She now goes by Tonya Price, and friends say the marriage gave her the stability that eluded her through two previous marriages and the most infamous scandal in sports history.
Price is her third husband, after Jeff Gillooly (1990-1993) — the ex at the center of the Nancy Kerrigan attack plot — and Michael Smith (1995-1996). The Price marriage has outlasted both combined several times over.
Who Is Tonya Harding?
Tonya Maxene Harding was born November 12, 1970, in Portland, Oregon. A skating prodigy from a poor family, she became the first American woman to land a triple axel in competition (1991), won the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, and took silver at the 1991 World Championships.
Her career ended in disgrace after the January 1994 attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan, orchestrated by Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and associates. Harding pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution, was banned for life from U.S. Figure Skating, and stripped of her 1994 title.
She later boxed professionally, did reality TV, and was portrayed by Margot Robbie in I, Tonya (2017). Now 55, she lives privately in Washington state, occasionally skating and recording fan videos.
Relationship Timeline
1990-1993: Jeff Gillooly. Married at 19; divorced at 23. Gillooly orchestrated the Kerrigan attack; their marriage's violent end defined her public image.
1995-1996: Michael Smith. A brief second marriage, over within a year.
2010: Meeting Joseph Price. Introduced through mutual friends; Price, an HVAC technician and amateur singer, was outside the spotlight.
June 23, 2010: The wedding. A quiet ceremony with friends and family; she was 39.
February 19, 2011: Gordon arrives. Their son's birth, when Harding was 40, completed the family.
2010-present: 16 years. The longest, calmest chapter of her romantic life.
Current Status: Quiet Family Life
As of 2026, Tonya Harding and Joseph Price are still married — 16 years. They live in Vancouver, Washington, where Harding works as a painter and landscaper (among other jobs) and Price stays home with their teenage son.
Their life is deliberately ordinary: no reality cameras, no tabloid drama. Harding occasionally gives interviews and appears at skating events, but the Price household is a world away from the chaos of her twenties.
At 55, Harding has found what she never had: a stable partner, a son she adores, and peace. The scandal will always be part of her story — but it is no longer the whole story.
About Joseph Price
Joseph Jens Price is a former HVAC technician and amateur vocalist who married into infamy and chose normalcy. Friends describe him as steady, funny, and devoted — the opposite of the turbulence of Harding's earlier relationships.
He has stayed almost entirely out of the public eye: no interviews, no reality appearances, no social media presence. In the Harding-Price household, Tonya is the famous one — and Price seems fine with that.
Their 16-year marriage is, by every account, happy. For a woman whose love life was once tabloid poison, Price was the antidote.
The Earlier Marriages
Harding married Jeff Gillooly at 19 in 1990; by 1993 they were divorced, and by 1994 he had masterminded the attack that destroyed her career. She later said the marriage was abusive — a claim consistent with her difficult upbringing.
Her 1995-1996 marriage to Michael Smith was brief and left little public trace. Both early marriages happened before she was 26 — a lifetime before Joseph Price.
The contrast is the story: two disastrous young marriages, then, at 39, the right one.
What Fans Also Ask
Fans asking who Tonya Harding is dating usually want her husband's story, her son, and where she is now. The answers below cover the most-searched questions.
Sixteen years married, one teenage son, and a quiet life in Washington — Tonya Price's second act is her best.
I, Tonya and Pop Culture Afterlife
The 2017 film I, Tonya — starring Margot Robbie as Harding — reframed her story for a new generation: not a villain but a victim of class, abuse, and media cruelty. Robbie earned an Oscar nomination; Allison Janney won for playing Harding's mother. Harding herself attended the Golden Globes with the cast, a surreal rehabilitation.
She has since done reality TV (including a memorable Dancing with the Stars-adjacent stint on skating specials), professional boxing (a brief 2000s career), and now Cameo videos for fans. A short documentary about her return to the ice is reportedly in the works.
At 55, Harding's pop-culture afterlife is kinder than her tabloid era was. The triple axel made her famous; I, Tonya made her human. And through it all, Joseph Price and son Gordon have been the quiet center.
