As one of the stars of American Pickers, Mike Wolfe is famous for finding surprisingly valuable
antiques and collectible items in attics, barns, and other unexpected places.
"There's no way you can prepare yourself for it. I mean, walking back into this room."
Back on September 7, 2012, Mike married Jodi Faeth in Franklin, Tennessee. Together, the
couple shares a daughter, Charlie, while Jodi is also the mother of an adult child, according
to motherhood site The Glow. The two have been through a lot; in December 2013, Jodi
was diagnosed with stage 2 Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and the Glow reports that multiple
surgeries were required to fix Charlie's cleft palate. Now, it looks like Mike and Jodi are
headed for divorce — and may have actually split up a while ago.
Although it doesn't seem like Mike will be making a public announcement regarding the
end of his marriage to Jodi, TMZ reported on July 8 that she filed for divorce from
the reality star. After almost a decade of married life together, Jodi cited "irreconcilable
differences" as the reason for the split.
Beyond that, it appears as if the beginning of the end of the marriage happened back in
June 2020, which is when court documents that were filed in Tennessee note that they initially
separated. While the U.S. Sun also points out that there's no word yet as to a custody
agreement, the documents show that the pair's daughter, Charlie, who is currently nine years
old, has been living with Jodi. While there's also no word on whether or not the split has
been amicable, let's hope Mike and Jodi are able to stay on friendly terms for their own
sakes as well as for Charlie's.
Mike and Jodi reportedly felt like their marriage simply could not go on. In court documents
obtained by People magazine from Williamson County, Jodi did provide some clarity as to
what was happening. According to the documents, quote, "hopes of reconciliation are exhausted."
Not only that, but she and Mike were, quote, "unable to successfully live together" as
a couple. Her request was that the court would make what she called "an equitable division"
of their debts and assets. But that wasn't all; the document also reveals that Jodi has
not participated in any other litigation concerning the custody of their daughter, Charlie.
While the court documents are revealing, Mike has remained tight-lipped on social media
about anything personal in terms of his split. His Instagram profile reads: "American Picker.
Avid vintage motorcycle rider. Love junk. And my baby girl Charlie." So, even if the
union between them hasn't worked out, Mike and Jodi are clearly both committed to being
the best parents they can be.
Mike has apparently already jumped into a new relationship since splitting from his
wife Jodi. According to TMZ, Mike has begun dating model Leticia Cline. Both parties have
reality TV in common. While Mike is comfortable in front of a camera thanks to American Pickers,
Leticia appeared on the dating show Beauty and the Geek in 2008.
There isn't a ton of information about how the two met, but the outlet states they were
spotted together in public in Norfolk, Virginia, in April 2021, and Cline's Instagram has a
few pics of her and Mike hanging out in 2018. One post from January 2018 features Cline
posing with Mike in a vintage motorcycle jacket she purchased from the picker. Another from
April 2018 shows Leticia getting ice cream with Mike and a friend.
Leticia is an adventurer and sounds like a free spirit. According to her official website,
she's a motorcycle racer and calls herself a "forever tourist" thanks to her love of
travel. Leticia has actually turned these two passions into a career that involves national
and international tourism through collaboration with tourism boards. She wrote on her website,
"I've learned the hard way that life truly is short so you can't waste a minute of it.
Life starts when you want it to."
Sounds like she and Mike could go on some really exciting adventures together, especially
since Mike is also a huge motorcycle enthusiast.
"That thing's killer, dude."
