AMERICAN Pickers star Danielle Colby posed with Mike Wolfe’s new girlfriend Leticia Cline whom she described as “family.”
Mike, 57, went public with his new romance earlier this month in exclusive photos obtained by The Sun.
The Playboy and Maxim model, 42, smiled alongside her mom and Mike’s American Pickers co-star Danielle.
Danielle posted the selfie to Instagram, calling Leticia, ‘Tish’ and describing her as the show’s “occasional road dog.”
“She’s been accompanying Mike on the road every now and again and am I ever grateful! Rolling around from town to town, making everybody smile, offering interesting and refreshing new perspectives,” Danielle captioned the post.
“It’s a beautiful thing to be able to roll around this big blue marble with people who are caring and supportive.”
Danielle added: “I’ve loved my time getting to know you Tish. I’m excited for what the future holds and hope you come with Mike again soon, I’m happy when we are able to spend time together on the road.
“I look forward to many adventures as we continue moving forward together as a road family. You always bring such a great positive, thoughtful and creative energy with you.”
She finished the post by saying: “We all benefit from that. It was so beautiful to see your mom on set as well. I hope she had fun🎉.”
The new couple went public earlier this month as they enjoyed a day of running errands and attending a local parade in Mike’s hometown of Le Claire, Iowa.
They were all smiles while she walked his Border Collie dog Francie and shared a steamy kiss as Leticia got into her van.
The couple also attended a local parade that is part of Tugfest festival.
In video obtained by The Sun, Mike and Leticia seemed to enjoy the festivities, as cars decorated with signs, flags, streamers and more drove by.
A day later, they were spotted at the Tugfest Tug-Of-War festival in Iowa.
The Beauty and the Geek contestant has already met the American Pickers star’s mother, as his mom Rita joined them for the festival.
Mike and Leticia even shared a steamy kiss during the outing.
The happy trio later enjoyed the tug-of-war competition across the Mississippi River between Le Claire and the town of Port Byron, Illinois from a VIP tent.
The new romance comes after Mike’s ex Jodi filed for divorce from him in November 2020 after 10 years of marriage.
They share nine-year-old daughter Charlie Faeth Wolfe.
Leticia has been divorced twice before dating the reality star.
The Sun exclusively revealed Leticia’s ex-husband Chad Cline filed for divorce from her in 2004 after the pair married in 2002.
The divorce was finalised in 2005 and they share son Caleb, now 19.
Leticia then married Jason Michaels in October 2014 who later filed for divorce in 2017.
The new relationship also comes amid drama with Mike’s former American Pickers co-star Frank Fritz, as he was fired from the show in July.
Frank, 57, last appeared on American Pickers during a March 2020 episode, as he took time off to recover from back surgery, which left him with 185 stitches and two rods in his spine.
During his time off the show, Frank lost 65 pounds, as he is living a healthier lifestyle and is sober from alcohol.
He told The Sun that he entered rehab for alcohol addiction in Iowa for 77 days and is 11 months sober.
Though Frank expressed his desire to return to the History show, Mike revealed Frank had been fired from the show on Instagram in July.
Frank previously told The Sun of their falling out: “I haven’t talked to Mike in two years. He knew my back was messed up, but he didn’t call me up and ask how I was doing. That’s just how it is.
“The show is tilted towards him 1,000 percent. I can’t even bend that far down to show you how much.
“That’s fine. It’s like you’ve got Aerosmith and there’s Steven Tyler and he’s the front man. I found my spot, I’m second and he’s number one on the show. That’s no problem with me, maybe he does have a problem.”
Despite their feud, Mike, who owns Antique Archaeology in Nashville, previously told The Sun he would like to see his longtime friend back on the History series.
Mike said: “We all do care about Frank and we want him back on the show. I would love to talk with him again, we would absolutely love to, but he just can’t get it right.
“Frank is just going through a lot personally with addictions. It’s unfortunate that he’s made decisions that have him the way he is.”
