Mavis has been by his side for several decades since they tied the knot back in 1980. Leno first met his future bride after he performed at the Comedy Store in the '70s.

"She's had it with Jay putting his life on the line," the insider shared in an update, claiming she is ready to revoke his license to thrill once and for all. "She's told him she's taking his keys away."

Fans were surprised to see that Leno handled his injuries quite well after being knocked off his bike in a crash on January 17.

He said it happened after noticing some leaking gas while doing a road test, so he adjusted the carburetor before venturing back to the garage.

"I turn around, I start to cut through a parking lot," Leno explained. "And there was a wire across two poles which was not well marked and, boom, I just got — it clotheslined me, hit me in the neck and threw me off the bike."

"I got a broken collarbone, a couple of broken ribs, and two cracked kneecaps," the former Tonight Show host said in an interview. "But other than that, I'm OK."

Back in November, Leno suffered serious burns to his hands and chest and third-degree burns to his face when a car in his collection sporadically burst into flames, making headlines for the shocking incident as fans expressed their concerns about his well-being.

His spouse of 42 years was understandably worried and demanded that he "sell off his classic car and motorcycle collection — and let somebody else do the driving."

Sources said she took a stand about the matter as his passion project, Jay Leno's Garage, was canceled by CNBC after seven seasons.
