Mike posted on Instagram, “Leticia and I were involved in a car accident last evening in Columbia, TN.
“By the grace of God, we’re both safe and okay. We are both receiving excellent care and while Leticia is still in the hospital, she is expected to make a full recovery.
“Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time and we appreciate all of your love and prayers. God bless.”
Leticia reposted Mike’s message and shared a photo of her in a hospital bed with a neck brace.
Her boyfriend Mike slept next to her in a chair.
She posted, “Hopefully I get surgery tomorrow. Broken jaw (in a few places), broken ribs, sternum, collapsed lung and a lot of swelling on my spine.”
She continued that her “mouth will be wired shut,” but “I still got my brain and that’s all that matters.”
She then posted a photo of the shattered windshield of the vintage car and showed exactly where her jaw hit the glass.
Mike also posted a photo of the totaled car with the caption, “It’s been a rough [night] but now there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
“I truly believe in the power of group prayer thank you to all of you that have sent them to us.”
The car is a blue vintage vehicle, likely containing no airbag.
On Sunday, Leticia shared an update, as she showed photos of her extremely swollen face.
In one photo, she could be seen walking alongside her sister with the caption, “Got up and walked around today thanks to sis.”
She also shared photos of her visitors, including Mike who has been “right by her side.”
Leticia also posted working on city counsel from her bed, as she said, “It will take more than a crash to stop me from caring about city matters.”
Mike and Leticia are often in Columbia, Tennessee because of his various businesses.
He owns bike shop Columbia Motor Alley, vacation rental Two Lanes Guesthouse, wine bar Revival, and other properties and businesses.

LOVE STORY
Mike first sparked romance rumors with Leticia in 2021 after his divorce from wife Jodi.
Mike was married to his ex-wife Jodi for nine years, with her filing for divorce in 2021 and citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reasoning behind their split.
In her divorce papers, she noted that they had separated in 2020.
Leticia is a journalist specializing in the motorcycle industry, as well as an advocate for heritage tourism and the preservation of small-town America.
She is also a retired politician and previously worked as the Marketing Director for SuckerPunch.
Mike Wolfe’s businesses
Mike Wolfe has created a business empire featuring real estate, antique stores, and more.
At the premiere of his movie Day of Reckoning, The U.S. Sun asked if a proposal is in their future.
“Oh no, NO,” Mike quickly responded.
“I’ve been divorced for what, three years now? I’m spending a lot of time with my daughter. She’s 13.
“But Leticia and I are doing some work with Harley Davidson, and we shot a commercial for them in Port Angeles, Washington.
“And we’ve been doing some tourism stuff in different parts of the country. So no, we’re just enjoying traveling together right now,” he explained.
When Leticia was asked the same question about whether an engagement is in the couple’s future, she was more vague.
“Yeah, ask Mike,” she quipped with a giggle. Adding, “No, no engagements. We’re enjoying our lives.
“We get to travel and we both are very busy people, so it works well for us. We got a thing with Harley Davidson that we’re doing later this year.”
Leticia also revealed that the couple has no plans on living together anytime soon.
“I don’t know how I’m going to be able to move down there, to be honest, but we’re only two hours away, and I need my space.
“But I don’t know. We’ll see. We’re always together,” she said when asked about continuing their long-distance relationship.
Leticia resides in Cave City, Kentucky – where she runs a successful cafe business, Ace Coffee – while Mike lives in the A-list area of Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee, about two hours away.
