“She remains in the hospital and recently underwent extensive jaw surgery after suffering breaks in three places,” the rep explained. “Her surgical team shared that it was one of the most difficult cases they have ever worked on. While the procedure was successful, she is experiencing significant pain and faces a long recovery ahead.”
“Mike and Leticia will provide updates as they are able,” the spokesperson added. “For now, we ask that you continue to keep Leticia in your hearts as she bravely begins this long road to healing.”
Wolfe’s rep also told People that the couple is “deeply grateful for every call, text, prayer, visit and message of support” they’ve gotten since the crash.
“Your love has truly carried them through. They are also thankful for the outstanding care at Vanderbilt and know they are in the very best hands,” the rep added.
