Pete Rose And His Busty Wife To Get A Reality Show That Will Probably Kill You A Little Inside

Pete Rose might have a lifetime ban from baseball, but apparently he isn’t banned from the camera. TLC announced Rose will star in a new reality show called Pete Rose and Kiana Kim Family Project, which will air later this year.

A little about the show per Entertainment Weekly:

… the show will follow the 71-year-old Rose and his thirtysomething model fiancée Kiana Kim (who has posed for Playboy) through their daily lives as they try to blend their families. There are some challenges along the way. A few family members are apprehensive about the relationship. And while Rose is based in Las Vegas (where he signs baseball memorabilia) or is on the road making public appearances, Kim and her two children live in Los Angeles.
…
The cameras will trail them through such events as Rose taking the family to visit the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, to Kim getting a breast reduction. “We’re not a traditional family,” says Kim. “We are a total modern-day family, mixing the cultures, the ages, the different backgrounds together. I didn’t even know who Pete Rose was when I first met him. It’s kind of a crazy story, but at the core of every family is love and it’s what TLC wants to show.” Quips Rose: “We’re just a normal family with 4,200 hits.”

Right, I’m sure the thirysomething model didn’t know who the all-time hits king was when she met him. She just endeared herself to man that’s nearly 40 years older than her. Rose also told Entertainment Weekly the show will not be “classless.” Well, that seals the deal for me. A classy reality TV show about Pete Rose and his busty wife? I’m sold!
