American Pickers star Mike Wolfe opened up about the tragic loss of his co-star, Frank Fritz, as well as new beginnings for the hit show.
Mike Wolfe, the beloved star of American Pickers, recently opened up about a year filled with both heartbreak and hope, sharing his reflections on social media.
On New Year’s Eve, Wolfe, now 60, posted a candid photo of himself relaxing on a well-loved couch, his expression radiating warmth and optimism. In the caption, he offered a glimpse into the emotional journey he experienced throughout 2024.
“I chose this photo to post because this is where I’m at right now in my life—happy, content, and excited about the future,” Wolfe began. His heartfelt words revealed a year of both challenges and cherished moments.
“This past year has brought loss and some heartache, but it also has beautiful moments with my daughter and family,” he continued. “The projects that I have thrown myself into have inspired me to do more.”
The year was particularly poignant for Wolfe due to the tragic passing of his longtime co-host and closest friend, Frank Fritz, who succumbed in September after a battle with health complications following a stroke.
Despite past tensions in their friendship, Mike Wolfe shared a deeply personal moment about the passing of his longtime co-host and friend, Frank Fritz. “I was holding his hand and rubbing his chest when he took his last breath,” Wolfe revealed last month.
Reflecting on his recent milestone birthday, turning 60 he said: “Turning 60 this year has centered me and brought me to a place in my mind that I feel at peace,” Wolfe shared. “I love that my circle is getting much smaller so I can be present more with the ones I love.”
