AMERICAN Pickers’ Mike Wolfe went on a romantic date with his girlfriend Leticia Cline on Friday all while the reality show’s ratings continue to dwindle.
Leticia, 43, shared her date night with Mike, 57, in a bunch of Instagram Stories.
In the first Instagram Story, Mike showed off his drawing skills on a white sheet of paper while out and about with Leticia.
The American Pickers host used a black crayon and sketched caricatures of himself and his date.
Leticia captioned the post: “My babe’s got all the talent.”
In the second Story, the Maxim model shared Mike’s finished artwork.
The History Channel star drew a female character named Babe with a cowboy hat on.
She asked: “Is this heaven?”
The male character named MW, with a scruffy beard, replied: “No! It’s Iowa.”
Leticia captioned the post: “No dinner is complete without crayons and a drawing.”
In August 2021, Mike and Leticia went public with their romance during a trip to his hometown of Le Claire, Iowa in exclusive photos obtained by The Celeb Report.
Their romance came after Mike’s former partner Jodi Faeth filed for divorce in November 2020 after nearly 10 years of marriage.
One year later, Mike finalized his divorce with Jodi.
THE RATINGS PLUMMET
Recently, The Celeb Report exclusively revealed that the show’s ratings have continued to plummet.
The ratings have dropped to under one million viewers in January and last July, for the first time in years.
The recent March 12th episode brought in just about 830,000 viewers.
This is the latest step down from the week prior, as 853,000 people watched the March 5th installment.
Season 23 of American Pickers premiered on January 1st with Mike and his young brother Robbie Wolfe, along with Danielle Colby.
The 23rd season premiere had its highest rating, which was about 1,050,000 viewers.
ROBBIE’S TIME
Robbie was brought in to replace fan-favorite host Frank Fritz, 56, who was fired from the show.
Episodes featuring Frank had higher ratings, including the final episode in March 2020, which brought in 1,282,000 viewers.
Disappointed American Pickers fans mentioned they were planning to boycott the show due to Frank’s firing.
Many viewers have dubbed Robbie to be “boring” and have left comments on the American Pickers’ official Twitter page.
‘BRING BACK FRANK’
One angry viewer said: “Bring back Frank. You ruined my favorite show.”
A second viewer mentioned: “I tried to watch one of the new episodes a few days ago, and it just isn’t the same.
