American Pickers star Mike Wolfe and Leticia Cline have ended their seven-year relationship, with Cline sharing a troubling message about their private life. The model claimed the person Wolfe showed publicly differed from the man she knew behind closed doors.
Cline announced the split last Thursday through a series of Instagram Stories, revealing she had struggled emotionally for two months. Her remarks hinted at unresolved issues, although she did not explain what ultimately ended their relationship.

In her Instagram Stories, Cline, 48, described the emotional toll of keeping private experiences to herself. She said she had stayed silent because she loved someone and believed she was protecting him. “There is so much I have kept private over the past 10 years. Things I witnessed, things I experienced, and things I stayed silent about because I loved someone and believed I was protecting him,” she wrote.
Cline added that she now understood “how much that silence has cost me.” She also suggested she might eventually share more about her experience. “What I will say is that the person the public knows and the person I knew behind closed doors are not the same,” she stated.
The model concluded that she needed time to process everything before deciding how to move forward. She also made clear she would no longer protect someone else’s public image at the expense of her own truth. The reason behind the breakup remained unclear, and representatives had not immediately responded to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Wolfe, 62, and Cline first sparked romance rumors in 2021, months after his ex-wife, Jodi Faeth, filed for divorce following nearly 10 years of marriage. The couple largely kept their relationship private. Their romance faced a major challenge in 2025 when they suffered a serious car crash in Columbia, Tennessee. Cline later revealed that she sustained a broken jaw, broken ribs, and a collapsed lung. Her injuries also required doctors to wire her mouth shut.
That December, Wolfe praised Cline’s resilience as she endured what he called an “unimaginable amount of physical and emotional pain.” He added that she continued bringing people together and caring for loved ones. Their recent split marked a painful turn after years together, though neither publicly explained what happened between them.
