Bickering Duo Seek to Redefine On-Screen Relationships
Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy Parisi are on a mission to become television’s next big power couple. The pair believe their authentic dynamic, including lighthearted arguments, sets them apart from the polished image of other TV duos.
The model and presenter, 44, insists that being real and relatable resonates better with viewers. “We’re just a normal couple,” Kelly shared, emphasizing that they don’t pretend to have a perfect relationship.
From Race Across the World to Rural Italy
Audiences first got a glimpse of Jeremy’s personality during the BBC show Celebrity Race Across the World. Despite language barriers—Jeremy spoke no English when he moved to the UK—the couple managed to connect with viewers through their candid moments.
Now, they are back on screen with La Vita Italiana, a three-part mini-series for ITV’s This Morning. The show documents Kelly adapting to life on Jeremy’s family farm in Arpino, Italy. Kelly hopes this project will lead to a longer-running series, allowing them to immerse themselves in their Italian dream.
Breaking the Mold of “Perfect Couples”
Kelly openly criticized TV duos who project an unrealistic image of their relationship. Instead, she highlighted the value of showing real-life ups and downs.
“We argue, we laugh, and we love each other—it’s real,” she explained. “That’s what makes us relatable. People see themselves in us.”
Their natural chemistry became a hit with audiences during Race Across the World, and Kelly hopes the same will happen with La Vita Italiana.
Jeremy Steps Out of His Comfort Zone
Unlike Kelly, who has years of experience in front of the camera, Jeremy finds his new public life challenging. He prefers staying behind the scenes.
“He doesn’t want to be the center of attention,” Kelly revealed. “But with this new fame, he’s learning to embrace it.”
Kelly takes on the role of mentor, helping Jeremy navigate the demands of fame. “It’s a good balance,” she said. “He has a lot to offer, and I encourage him to step outside his comfort zone.”
A Dream of Italian Bliss
La Vita Italiana is more than just a TV project for the couple; it’s a manifestation of their dream life. Filmed on Jeremy’s olive farm, the series offers a glimpse into their relationship, culture, and family history.
Kelly described the show as a “mini-Clarkson’s Farm,” tailored to appeal to This Morning’s audience. With its growing popularity, the couple is hopeful that ITV will expand the series into a full-length project.
“We absolutely love Arpino,” Kelly said. “Filming a TV show there would be a dream come true. It’s the perfect way to connect with our fanbase and live our Italian dream.”
Taking on the London Marathon Together
In addition to their television endeavors, Kelly and Jeremy have set their sights on a new challenge: running the 2025 London Marathon. Partnering with Radox, the couple plans to conquer the race as a team.
“This is our first marathon, and we’re excited,” Kelly shared. “It’s going to be tough, but we’re ready to train together and support each other.”
Training for the marathon, however, is already testing their relationship. Kelly admits Jeremy’s faster pace can be frustrating but sees it as part of their journey.
“He doesn’t wait for me,” she joked. “But he can run home, prepare a warm Radox bath, and make up for it!”
A Focus on Self-Care and Recovery
Kelly is prioritizing self-care throughout her marathon training. She sees this challenge as an opportunity to improve her overall well-being rather than focusing on weight loss.
“It’s about feeling my best and taking care of my body,” she explained. “Recovery and balance are just as important as the running itself.”
A Manifestation of Success
Kelly believes in the power of manifestation. She credits the realization of La Vita Italiana to her vision and determination.
“Three years ago, I told Jeremy we should do a show on his farm. Now it’s on TV—it’s magic,” she said.
The couple’s positive outlook fuels their ambition to take on new projects together, both in Italy and beyond.
A Marathon Invitation for Fans
As part of their partnership with Radox, Kelly and Jeremy are offering fans a chance to join them in the 2025 London Marathon. They will be giving away two places in the race to inspire others to take on the challenge.
“We want to encourage people to set goals and push their limits,” Kelly said.
Relatable, Ambitious, and Real
Kelly Brook and Jeremy Parisi are redefining the concept of TV couples by embracing their imperfections and authenticity. Whether through their Italian farm series or their marathon journey, the couple continues to connect with fans on a relatable level.
Their refreshing approach, blending ambition with realism, is winning hearts and setting them apart as TV’s newest power couple.
