Jessie James Decker is open to starring on another reality show, but not if it resembles “Eric & Jessie: Game On,” which ran for three seasons from 2013 to 2017.
“What I’m so proud of for our family is how we keep things so normal and safe for our kids,” Jessie explained of daughter Vivianne, 12, and sons Eric Jr. aka “Bubby,” 10, Forrest, 8, and Denver, 2.
“I want them to feel so normal. Can you imagine cameras around them all the time? It would probably throw them off. I think there’s certain parts of our family that we just keep private and sacred because it’s for us, you know?”
Jessie — who often enlists her go-with-the-flow spouse of almost 13 years to participate in viral Instagram challenges and comedic skits — noted, “I give what I want to give on social [media]. … I love being able to give little bits here and there of fun stuff that we’re in charge of and in control of.”
She wouldn’t necessarily have that control if showrunners, producers and editors got involved.
“My family’s just too precious for me to open that up to that whole world again. And we did that before we really had our kids at this age and point in time,” she said.
However, the cookbook author — whose forthcoming “Secret Sauce: A Family Cookbook Seasoned with Love” was co-written by her sister, Sydney Rae Bass, and their mom, Karen Parker — would be up for filming a cooking, lifestyle and travel series with the pair.
“I would do a cooking show. I’d do a cooking/lifestyle show. I’d love to do something like that,” she gushed. “And maybe you could get little moments here and there of [my nuclear family] at dinner or something.”
Jessie, 38, told us the trio talks about the idea “all the time,” saying their vision is akin to one of the various “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” spinoffs documenting the famous sisters “taking” different cities.
“It would be, like, all three of us ‘take’ Europe, and we go and we’re crazy and we do all these food and wine tastings and we learn to do all these things,” she shared. “And it’s just silly and unhinged and crazy, and I just think we would have so much fun.”
She added that her mom, who’s “a trip,” would be “the MVP” of the “entertaining” show.
While she figures out whether re-entering the reality TV space is an actual consideration, Jessie is certainly not bored. The devoted wife and mother of four recently launched her Just Feed Me cookware line at Walmart, runs her Kittenish clothing company and has a Casa del Sol capsule collection with swimsuit brand Cupshe.
She’s also in the best shape of her life.
“I’ve been on a new kick,” the Nashville resident explained to us. “I’ve always worked out, but I’m definitely on a super intense kick right now where I’m getting obsessed with it, and I’m just feeling really good. I’m feeling really strong. I can feel my energy getting better.”
Jessie also recently admitted that she’s “ready” to downsize her breast implants, telling her Instagram followers, “The more in shape I’m getting, they just become more annoying and obvious to me how big they are for my body.”
She elaborated to us that although she’s in the mindset of “doing less” these days, she doesn’t “mind a little Botox here and there.”
And she feels that notion comes with “time,” “age” and knowledge,” as does the grace she now gives herself when she’s battling the invisible and often debilitating pain of a migraine.
Jessie recently partnered with AbbVie on the biopharmaceutical company’s educational Love in Mind initiative, which spotlights the emotional impact of migraines on romantic relationships.
“I used to feel like I had to power through, and now I don’t. If I don’t feel well and I’m having a migraine, I don’t power through anymore. I’m advocating for myself now,” she told us before praising Eric, 39, who became co-owner and president of Kittenish after retiring form the NFL in 2018.
“Thank God for my husband. He has been such a help and such an encourager. He’s actually the one that … set me up with an amazing physician who helped me figure out what the problem was. And I’ve taken that with me, and I’ve learned over the years how to really take care of myself and find a regiment that works.”
