In the first Instagram story, Mike showed off his drawing skills on a white sheet of paper.

The American Pickers host used black crayon and sketched caricatures of himself and his date.

Leticia captioned the post: “My baby has all the talent.”

In the second story, the Maxim model shared Mike’s finished artwork.

The History star chronicled a female character named Babe wearing a cowboy hat.

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.”

YOUR dating story

Back in August 2021, Mike and Leticia went public with their romance during a trip to his hometown of Le Claire, Iowa, in exclusive photos from The Sun.

Their romance came after Mike’s former partner, Jodi Faeth, filed for divorce in November 2020 after nearly 10 years of marriage.

A year later, Mike finalized his divorce with Jodi.

RATINGS ARE GOING DOWN

Recently, The Sun exclusively revealed that the history show’s ratings have continued to plummet.

Ratings fell below one million viewers for the first time in years in January and last July.

The last episode on March 12 brought only about 830,000 viewers.

This is the latest drop from the previous week, when 853,000 people watched the March 5 episode.

Season 23 of American Pickers premiered on January 1 with Mike and his younger brother Robbie Wolfe alongside Danielle Colby.

The season 23 premiere had the highest ratings with around 1,050,000 viewers.

Robbie was hired to replace fan-favourite host Frank Fritz, 56, who was fired from the show.

Episodes starring Frank had higher ratings, including the final episode in March 2020 which drew 1,282,000 viewers.

Disappointed American Pickers fans mentioned they planned to boycott the show because of Frank’s firing.

Many fans have called Robbie “boring” and left comments on the American Pickers’ official Twitter page.

An angry viewer said: “Bring Frank back. You ruined my favorite show.”

A second viewer mentioned: “I tried to watch one of the new episodes a few days ago but it just isn’t the same.

“So sad I’ve been a huge fan over the years.”

A third reviewer wrote, “I was a huge fan but now the show is MEH sans Frank.”
