Edgar Hansen gained notoriety as a result of his participation in the reality TV program Deadliest Catch. The program chronicled his experiences working as a crab fisher, an engineer, a deck boss, and a relieving captain in the Bearing Sea while serving as his older brother Sig Hansen’s right-hand man.
His personal life attracted interest at the same time as his professional endeavors did. And word spread that he was a married father of numerous kids. But is his family still together? This is what we do know:
Having Three Children is Edgar Hansen
Hansen and Louise Hansen got married. The specifics of their nuptials and marriage, however, have been kept private.
The reality TV personality’s paternity as a father of three children is well known.
He and his wife have two kids, Erik and Logan, as well as a daughter called Stephanie.

Despite the fact that Hansen and his seafaring family earned a livelihood out of fishing, he previously stated that he wouldn’t want his children, especially his sons, to do the same. He said he preferred they remain at home and spend time with their family. This life is not what I want for kids, the 50-year-old continued.
Edgar Hansen is still wed, right?
After allegations of Hansen sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in September 2017 surfaced, he became the subject of a scandal at the start of 2018. All fingers were directed towards Hansen after the adolescent told her therapist about the attack.
After a quick inquiry, Hansen entered a written plea of guilty in which he acknowledged groping and kissing the girl indecently for his own pleasure. In exchange for a plea agreement with Snohomish County prosecutors, he expressed regret to the victim.
Hansen was given a 364-day sentence with a suspension that was obtained by Seattle Times on July 16, 2018, and he was also required to pay $1,653 in court fines and costs.
He also had to undergo counseling and a sexual-deviancy evaluation. After starting counseling, Hansen said, “I have started treatment to make sure that nothing like this assault ever happens again.”
Hansen discontinued participating in Deadliest Catch after his heinous act. In August 2018, the final episode of the program featured his air. While the incident damaged his career, it also left the show’s devoted viewers wondering if it affected his marriage.
Unfortunately, neither Hansen nor his wife has responded to the questions. Additionally, the Seattle native deleted all of her social media accounts, including Instagram and Twitter. Additionally, he is dormant on Facebook, where he last made a family-related comment on December 12, 2015.
In a collection of photos with his family, he had written that they had enjoyed their day of skiing at Mount Baker.
