Mike Wolf’s “American Pickers” Faces Uncertain Future Amid Personal Struggles

Mike Wolf was first introduced to television audiences on January 18, 2010, when American Pickers premiered on the History Network. The native Midwesterner, along with his friend and partner Frank Fritz, traveled across America searching for rare artifacts and collectibles that they could turn around and sell in their antique shops.

A total of 23 seasons of the show have been released over the last 13 years, but the future of the series remains in serious doubt. A crippling feud between Mike and Frank, who is no longer on the show, has ruined their relationship. Without the show’s iconic co-host, ratings have plummeted. The addition of Mike’s brother Robbie hasn’t seemed to help much.

Earlier this year, the 58-year-old TV star opened up about the challenges of continuing the show. “Finding the words after 13 years of doing this show becomes harder,” he confessed. “A lot of it is the pressure I put on myself and how much weight I put into telling people’s stories. Crew help me and sometimes guide me. This shot is what I see when I’m filming: encouragement, love, understanding, and a true passion for this project.”

He concluded, “I have been very blessed to have people in my life at this time that love what they do as much as I do.”

Mike’s Personal Life: Marriage, Divorce, and Fatherhood

Mike’s personal life has had its share of ups and downs. In September 2012, Mike married his longtime girlfriend Jod F, after years of dating that began in 1994. Together they had one child, a daughter named Charlie. However, Jod filed for divorce in 2020, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason.

In December 2013, Jod was diagnosed with stage 2 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Regarding her diagnosis, she said, “I developed it even though I followed a healthy lifestyle. Believe it or not, even vegan, exercising, juicing—mamas get cancer. I was the last one to expect it. Life was everything I could possibly dream of, then bam.”

In May 2014, Jod shared that her cancer was in remission.

Charlie Fath-Wolf was born in January 2012, shortly before the marriage of her parents. Mike primarily keeps his daughter out of the limelight, but he occasionally shares glimpses of her. One such moment showed his daughter dressed in funky, smiley-face overalls as she made bracelets with her grandma. The pre-teen hid her face in an orange trucker hat as she enjoyed the beautiful weather on the porch with her family.

On Father’s Day, Mike shared a touching tribute to his daughter: “Becoming a dad late in life is never a dull moment, but I know how special these moments are with her. I cannot believe how fast she is sprouting up. I love being a dad to my brown-eyed baby girl.”

Mike’s New Relationship and Business Ventures

Mike wasted little time moving on from his marriage. In 2021, he started a relationship with reality star Leticia Klein. The couple was first seen spending time together in April when they were spotted at a Norfolk, Virginia, print shop while customizing a jacket. The Playboy alum also joined Mike on Picker shoots, accompanying him to San Francisco in June and later to California.

Apparently, the new couple has been friends for several years. Leticia shared a photo alongside Mike in 2018. She has been known for her appearances on Beauty and the Geek, her interview role for TNA Wrestling, and her racy photo shoots for Playboy and Maxim.

Mike’s Expanding Business Portfolio

In October, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed several secret businesses owned by Mike as he focuses on new projects. The History star owns Two Lanes Guest House, a loft vacation rental in Columbia, Tennessee. The one-bedroom loft is located above a bicycle shop in a two-story, 1,857-square-foot brick building. The 1,100-square-foot space is a fan’s dream, as it is filled with picks from the show.

Mike’s company, Two Lanes, also runs an apparel line, selling shirts for around $30, hats for $24, and more. Additionally, he is a landlord to multiple buildings. Mike is currently restoring an 1873 Italianate-style home in Columbia, Tennessee.

The reality star has now transitioned from in front of the camera to behind the scenes, launching his own production company, MSI Point Inc.
