- The couple survived a serious car accident in Tennessee in September 2025 that left both hospitalized, with Cline suffering multiple injuries.
Mike Wolfe, the longtime star of the History Channel’s American Pickers, and his girlfriend, Leticia Cline, have ended their seven-year relationship. Cline announced the separation in an Instagram Stories statement on Thursday, October 15, describing a difficult period that she said had profoundly affected her.”After seven years together, Mike and I are no longer in a relationship,” Cline wrote.
The 48-year-old said she had spent the previous two months trying to process experiences that left her devastated. She also indicated that she had kept personal matters private for years, believing she was protecting someone she loved.
Cline’s statement took a more serious turn when she addressed the difference between Wolfe’s public persona and her own experiences in their relationship.”What I will say is that the person the public knows and the person I knew behind closed doors are not the same,” she wrote.
She did not publicly detail the experiences she referenced or explain the specific circumstances behind their breakup. Cline said she needed time to process what had happened and determine how to move forward, adding that she would no longer remain silent at the expense of her own truth.Wolfe had not provided a response to the allegations or the separation in the supplied reports.
Wolfe and Cline were first romantically linked in 2021, following the end of his marriage to Jodi Faeth. Faeth filed for divorce in November 2020 after nearly a decade of marriage, according to the supplied reporting. The former couple share a daughter.
Although Wolfe and Cline generally kept their relationship private, their bond became more visible during a major personal crisis in September 2025.
In September 2025, Wolfe and Cline were involved in a serious car accident in Columbia, Tennessee. Wolfe subsequently confirmed on Instagram that both had survived and were receiving medical care.
Cline described the extent of her injuries in a separate update, including a broken jaw in several places, broken ribs, a fractured sternum and a collapsed lung. She also reported significant swelling around her spine and said her mouth would be wired shut during treatment.
Wolfe praised Cline’s strength in a later social media post, describing her resilience through physical and emotional pain. At the time, Cline responded warmly, thanking him for his support during what she called one of the most challenging periods of her life.
Their public expressions of support offer a contrast to Cline’s latest statement, although neither the accident nor their earlier posts establishes what led to the separation.
Wolfe has starred in American Pickers since the History Channel series premiered in 2010. The show follows Wolfe and his fellow pickers as they search for valuable and historically significant collectibles.
The breakup also follows another personal loss for Wolfe. In July, he announced the death of his dog, Francie Joe, describing the animal as family and saying she had died in a tragic accident.
Cline has said she needs time to process her experiences and decide how to move forward. She has not provided further details explaining the breakup in the supplied material.The circumstances behind the separation remain unclear, and Wolfe’s response to Cline’s latest statement was not included in the reports provided.
