They were in a relationship for almost two decades, and finally, they tied their wedding knot on 8 September 2012 in an “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”- themed ceremony at Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee.
During the time, Jodi Faeth was a mother to a son named Kyle, who was from her previous relationship. Jodi was extremely worried about becoming a mother at the age of 41 as she had her son, Kyle, who is more than 24-years-old.
But, due to her husband's happiness, she became a mother for the second time. After seven months of marriage, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Charlie Faeth Wolfe, on 30 January 2012.
She faced two surgeries within a year Charlie was born. After the surgery, feeding became a major obstacle, but Mike and his wife had a better plan by cutting a Y in the bottle's nipple.
They eventually undergo the necessary medical treatments. But sadly, a year later, in 2013, Jodi has diagnosed with stage 2 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. These types of cancer begin in the white blood cells and compromise the body's immune system.
Mike's wife was lucky enough because she received the best course of treatment and conquered the disease quickly. In May 2020, after almost 6-years of a hard time, the couple had announced that Jodi was cancer-free.
Mike and his wife regularly uploaded their family pictures on their respective Instagram pages.
