Mike Wolfe’s Girlfriend Celebrates His 60th Birthday

Mike Wolfe, the beloved star of American Pickers, received heartfelt birthday wishes from his girlfriend Leticia Cline as he celebrated turning 60. Cline, age 46, took to Instagram on November 6 to share intimate snapshots of the couple enjoying a ride together. In a touching tribute, she wrote, “You will forever be my greatest adventure and the home my heart will always seek.”

Cline’s post continued with a profound message: “If we measured the sunsets, trips we’ve taken, concerts we’ve seen, people’s lives we’ve touched, animals we’ve helped, things we’ve loved, then you’d be older than reality could comprehend.” She elaborated on the essence of a fulfilling life not being quantified by years but rather by the impact one has on others. “I’m just happy I get a front seat for it all. Love you babe. Happiest of birthdays,” she concluded.

Fans of American Pickers know that Wolfe has faced personal challenges in recent years. His romance with Cline blossomed in 2021, coinciding with the tumultuous end of his marriage to Jodi Catherine Wolfe, who filed for divorce after nearly a decade together. Their separation was attributed to irreconcilable differences, and they share custody of their 12-year-old daughter, Charlie.

As he navigates this new chapter in his life, Wolfe remains a staple on American Pickers, a show that has captured audiences since 2010. Recently, he opened up about the struggles of his late co-star Frank Fritz, who battled opioid addiction. Wolfe revealed that he felt it was important to share how many people, including himself, faced difficulties during this difficult time—a period marked by the pandemic and personal health crises.

Wolfe and Fritz’s friendship endured through the highs and lows of their reality TV journey, which began in 2009 with the show’s debut on the History Channel the following year. They traveled across the country in search of antiques, but the last couple of years took a toll on their relationship due to Fritz’s addiction struggles. Wolfe described the situation as a “perfect storm” that ultimately led to an intervention and, sadly, Fritz’s departure from the series in 2021.

In September, Fritz passed away at the age of 60, leaving Wolfe and fans mourning the loss. The pair’s deep-rooted friendship extended beyond the screen, with Wolfe recalling fond memories from their years together. He expressed his sorrow on social media, highlighting the genuine, sensitive nature of his late friend’s character.

It’s a poignant reminder that while time marches on, the love shared among friends and partners endures, marking the milestones in our lives with cherished memories. As Wolfe enjoys this new decade, he continues to honor the legacy of his friendships while embracing his personal journey surrounded by love.
