Morgan Lauren is a new cast member on Gold Rush, joining season 14 and joining Rick Ness’ crew as a gold washer and equipment operator. The Discovery Channel star has big goals, mentioning on the show that she might want to open her own mine in the future. She stated that she “loves gold washing” and “knows the steps and what it takes.”
Because Rick “relies” on her, she describes the job as “stressful” on the show.
In addition to bringing her expertise in operating equipment to Rick, Morgan said she is “excited” about her new position. She asserted that since she grew up in Alaska, hunting and fishing are “second nature” to her.
Meet Kenneth Christensen, Morgan Lauren’s Father
Kenneth “John” Christensen is Morgan Lauren’s father.
Kenneth Christensen was born in October 1966. Therefore, as of November 2023, Kenneth is 57 years old.
In 2021, Kenneth divorced his wife, Songul Seckin, a Turkish citizen. They were reportedly married in August 2012 and his ex-wife returned to Turkey while she was pregnant. Their child was born in Turkey in January 2013. They reached a mutual divorce agreement.
Kenneth stated in court that Songul Seckin would “take over custody” of their children and agree to visitation and child support. In an August 2017 order, the Turkish court awarded custody to Seckin, noting that “the parties have agreed” on her visitation, child support, and custody.
His ex-wife and their child returned to the United States in December 2017. Her return was “on a trial basis” and she only agreed to return after Kenneth promised to provide her with food, housing and work. She also claimed that she made it clear to Kenneth that she was only returning because of “financial constraints” and that she “owed” him “the opportunity to develop a relationship with [their child].” She claims she told Christensen she had no intention of resuming a relationship with him.
Kenneth claimed that she had “said [him] that she wants to live in Alaska permanently” and “work on [their] relationship.”
Kenneth Christensen may have run a restaurant business. In August 2018, he also founded I Don’t Give A Fork. In addition, he enjoys fishing and hunting like a true Alaskan.
