American Pickers' Mike Wolfe returns to secluded spot as he maintains low profile after ratings plummet
AMERICAN Pickers star Mike Wolfe has returned to his secluded spot after maintaining a low profile.
The newest season of American Pickers has seen some low ratings compared to previous ones.
Mike, 59, gave his Instagram followers a glimpse of his location after posting a recent video to his Stories.
Mike and his girlfriend, Leticia Cline, have been staying in Tennessee.
In the clip, the History Channel star showed off an old-fashioned wooden boat that floated on the Mississippi River.
The boat had antiques on it including a trumpet, drumset, and a lantern.
The TV star slowly panned the entire boat so fans could get a view of each object.
He captioned the video: "On the banks of the mighty Mississippi @visitleclaire."
Mike returned with his brother Robbie Wolfe, 62, and Danielle Colby, 47, as the co-hosts for the Season 25 premiere in early July.
After the premiere, The U.S. Sun revealed the show's ratings hit a downward spiral and dropped by 100,000 viewers.
While 918,000 viewers watched the season 25 premiere, ratings dropped to 803,000 during the installment a week after on July 12.
The U.S. Sun also reported that the July 19 episode lost another 100,000 viewers, as just 713,000 people tuned in.
The ratings then increased during the July 26 episode with about 885,000 viewers.
Despite the low ratings, Mike enjoyed some time traveling with Leticia.
Earlier this week, the couple gave fans a glimpse at their intimate relationship in a video shared on social media.
Mike and Leticia confirmed their relationship in August 2021 shortly after his ex-wife, Jodi Faeth, filed for divorce in November 2020 after over a decade of marriage.
The reality star and his girlfriend appeared in a behind-the-scenes clip as they filmed a mystery project together away from American Pickers.
In the video, the couple interacted with horses, walked down the street together, chatted with producers, and rode in one of Mike's famous antique cars.
One sweet clip showed Mike twirling Leticia as they danced in a cobblestone square while swaying back and forth and smiling brightly at each other.
The antique collector leaned in for a rare on-camera smooch mid-dance move as they laughed in their romantic moment.
Mike and Leticia later strolled down the street together, attended a cooking class, and played with their dog all caught in the video compilation.
Shared on photographer @coomer's Instagram profile, the duo commented on the post sharing their excitement over the special footage.
"This is the best wrap up video and the perfect song for it!!! It was such a pleasure working with you and the crew. You guys are seriously the best crew I’ve ever worked with and I truly hope we can do more work together soon! @mikewolfeamericanpicker and I have been talking about that all day!" Leticia wrote regarding the secretive project.
"Loved working with y’all can’t wait to see the piece," Mike commented.
