In late July of 2022, it reached the public that Frank Fritz had suffered a stroke and was subsequently admitted into a hospital. A friend called 911 on July 14 after finding him on the floor of his home in Iowa. Before such details came to light, Mike Wolfe initially broke the news in an Instagram post, writing, "Please keep him in your hearts and thoughts. Frank I pray more than anything that you make it through this okay. I love you buddy." Thankfully, according to his father, Bill Fritz, in a report from The Sun in early August, Frank is in stable condition as he prepares to embark on the road to recovery.
A few weeks after Bill's update on Frank's condition, an insider from the Quad-City Times came forward with more information. "He would like everyone to know he continues to get better every day and is very determined," she explained, adding, "While Frank was not prepared at the time for his condition to be published, he is grateful for all the prayers and well wishes." On that note, it appears that social media could be the catalyst for more strife between Frank and Wolfe — something that the public has seen before during their extensive feud (via CinemaBlend).
As it stands, it looks like Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe's relationship is still in a rough spot. Perhaps one day, the "American Pickers" icons will manage to bury the hatchet, but it's anyone's guess as to when — or if — that day will come.
