Did the American Pickers Split up? Frank Has Been Absent for More Than a Year Now

Take a look at a comprehensive breakdown about Did the American Pickers Split up? Frank Has Been Absent for More Than a Year Now.

In a July 2021 interview with The Sun, Frank revealed that he is not currently on the show (which we obviously knew, as he's been conspicuously absent for a while now) — but also said he didn't choose to permanently leave it. "It’s up to the network whether I come back on the show. It ain’t gonna affect me one bit. I didn’t leave the show, I finished shooting and then I had a little back surgery and the pandemic came," he explained.

As for whether Frank will be back on the show anytime soon, it's not totally clear. "I would like to come back to the show, but we will see. I was doing it for 11 years, but there is a lot of controversy going on right now," he said, presumably referencing the fact that Mike is currently going through a divorce from his wife, Jodi (and making headlines of his own). However, according to TMZ, the network currently has no plans to bring Frank back.

Mike has shared several posts about his home life on Instagram, including some adorable pictures of him and his daughter, Charlie. "Becoming a dad late in life is never a dull moment but I know how special these moments are with her," the 56-year-old wrote on Father’s Day. "I cannot believe how fast she is sprouting up. I [love] being a dad to my brown-eyed baby girl.
