<p>A representative for &#8220;American Pickers&#8221; star Mike Wolfe gave fans an update on how his former co-host Frank Fritz was doing after recently sustaining a stroke.</p>
<p>The 58-year-old reality TV star&#8217;s rep did not get into the detail about Fritz&#8217;s recovery and only shared that the original member of the hit reality show needs &#8220;time to heal&#8221; after being hospitalized, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/american-pickers-frank-fritz-time-heal-mike-wolfes-rep">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;We [ask] that everyone keep Frank [Fritz] in their thoughts and prayers,&#8221; Wolfe&#8217;s rep told the outlet. &#8220;The most important thing is that we allow him time to heal and [give] him the space to do so.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wolfe recently posted on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgS1D2CNi2s/">social media</a> that he was praying for Fritz, 56, to make it through following a falling out between the pair.</p>

<p>&#8220;I have been very private in the past year in regards to Frank&#8217;s life and the journey he’s been on,&#8221; Wolfe shared with his hundreds of thousands of followers.</p>
<p>&#8220;There has been lots of opinions in regards to mine and Frank&#8217;s friendship and the show but now is not the time to set the record straight,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Now is the time to pray for my friend.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Frank has suffered a stroke and is in the hospital,&#8221; Wolfe continued. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2010, &#8220;American Pickers&#8221; debuted on the History Channel and became a hit. The show followed the pair as they traveled across the country and found relics, &#8220;transforming one person&#8217;s trash into another&#8217;s treasure,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.history.com/shows/american-pickers">History.com</a>. They earned &#8220;a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory,&#8221; the site added.</p>
<p>Fritz was suddenly gone from the show after the airing of an episode in March 2020, <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/3296985/american-pickers-frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-feud/">The Sun</a> noted. In July 2021, Fritz told <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/3296985/american-pickers-frank-fritz-mike-wolfe-feud/">The Sun</a> that he no longer had any contact with Wolfe. A rep for The History Channel confirmed Fritz&#8217;s departure to <a href="https://people.com/tv/american-pickers-frank-fritz-hospitalized-after-stroke/">People</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t talked to Mike in two years,&#8221; Frank shared at the time. &#8220;He knew my back was messed up, but he didn&#8217;t call me up and ask how I was doing. That&#8217;s just how it is.&#8221;</p>
