Why Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims gave a hard no to reality TV show ‘like 30 times’

Jena Sims said she and husband Brooks Koepka have turned down about 30 opportunities to do reality television.

During an appearance on Brie and Nikki Garcia’s SiriusXM podcast, “The Nikki & Brie Show,” the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model explained that she doesn’t think the reality TV business is good for relationships and that the LIV Golf star is “big on privacy.”

“We’ve said no like 30 times,” Jena said after the former WWE wrestlers mentioned that she and Koepka were featured in Netflix’s “Full Swing,” a docuseries that follows some of the world’s top golfers in and out of competition. “That offer happens and they’re like, ‘Oh, you get all the creative control.’ I’m like, ‘No, we’re not doing that.’

“I don’t think it’s good for relationships, and Brooks finds it dangerous when people can see sort of the layout of the inside of your home even. We’re big on safety and he’s really big on privacy.”

Sims then quipped, It’s a great balance because I would livestream my child birth if I could.”

“There’s enough cameras in Brooks’ face, we don’t need another one,” she said.
