The model previously outlined her injuries on social media, sharing that her “mouth will be wired shut” as part of her recovery.

“Hopefully I get surgery tomorrow,” she wrote in an Instagram post shared on Saturday. 

“Broken jaw (in a few places), broken ribs, sternum, collapsed lung and a lot of swelling on my spine. My mouth will be wired shut but I still got my brain and that’s all that matters.”

Wolfe’s reps confirmed to People on Wednesday that Cline has “fractures to her jaw, sternum, and ribs, as well as a partially collapsed lung.”

Wolfe’s other half was originally airlifted from the scene.

“She remains hospitalized and will undergo several surgeries once the swelling subsides,” the statement concluded.

Cline posted photos of herself in the hospital with an IV drip of ketamine attached to her arm.

Wolfe’s reps told People that “the couple and their families are grateful for the swift response of first responders and the outpouring of support they have received during this difficult time. They ask for privacy as Leticia continues her recovery.”

The History Channel vet added, “Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time and we appreciate all of your love & prayers. God bless.”

Later that night, the reality television star opened up about their current status, noting, “It’s been a rough nite but now there’s light at the end of the tunnel.”

“I truly believe in the power of group prayers thank you to all of you that have sent them to us,” he added.

Earlier this year, Wolfe shut down his Nashville store, Antique Archaeology, after 15 years.

“This place has meant the world to me – not just the brick and mortar, but the people. The community,” he began on Instagram. “The visitors from all over the world who came through those doors, shared their stories, and reminded me every day why I started this journey in the first place.”

“I’ve been so proud to be a part of this neighborhood, this city, and this chapter of life. But sometimes, even when something is good, you have to pause and ask yourself where your time is going — and where your heart is calling you next,” continued Wolfe.

These days, the actor is looking to pursue a slower pace of life.

“This isn’t goodbye – it’s just a new rhythm,” Wolfe concluded. “I’ll forever be grateful for every moment in that Nashville space, and for all of you who made it more than just a shop. You made it home.”

His hit History Channel show, “American Pickers,” meanwhile, kicked off its 27th season in July.

The season aired following the death of his former co-star and friend Frank Fritz.

The “American Pickers” stars had been on the series together for over a decade. In Sept. 2024, Fritz died due to complications from a stroke while in hospice.

“Every day we think about Frank on set. He was such a big part of the show,” Wolfe told The Post in March. “He was my friend since 8th grade. And a lot of times when we are traveling through a property there are so many things that capture our attention that connect us to him.”
