TLC orders Pete Rose reality series

Major League Baseball’s all-time hit leader is hoping for one more —
in the form of a TV show. EW has learned that TLC has begun production
on a reality series starring Pete Rose, the former All-Star who was
banned from his beloved sport for gambling on games while he was a
player/manager for the Cincinnati Reds.

With a working title of Pete Rose and Kiana Kim Family Project, the show will follow the 71-year-old Rose and his thirtysomething model fiance 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. “She’s got younger kids
and I’ve got [four adult] kids, and we go through the same things
everybody else does: taking the braces off, making sure they get their
education and they go to basketball practice or acting class,” says
Rose, adding: “It’s not going to be classless — like it seems like a lot
of reality shows aren’t really reality, but our reality show is going
to be funny, entertaining, and real.”
