Brooke and Baylee from TLC’s show “Extreme Sisters” are not just close they’re extremely close.
To each her own, right?
But how did Brooke and Baylee get to be so close?
Here is a close look at “Extreme Sisters” stars Brooke and Baylee’s relationship.
Brooke:Yeah, so I had been posting YouTube videos for a couple of years now.
And so they found me through one of the YouTube videos that Baylee and I did together.
And it was a really interesting one.
Baylee:I think it was, weren’t we doing the sister questionnaire or something?
Brooke:Yeah, it was like a sister Q&A.
And yeah, they reached out through that.
So, that was really cool.
I was just trying to figure out stuff to post, and me and Baylee always vibe well together.
So I was like, “Oh, you’re going to have to post with me.”
And we were just being dumb.
Baylee:I think we just Googled questions to ask each other.
Brooke:Yeah, nobody was asking us any questions.
It was just like something online.
So it’s kind of embarrassing.
Honestly, we haven’t even watched it lately.
It was three years ago, so we were probably morons.
I think it was called “Sister Sister Q&A.”
And I think I actually did the hashtag “Extreme Sisters,” which is so weird.
Brooke: No, I’m not currently.
I have my full degree, but I haven’t started working yet because I just had my son.
Baylee, what do you do?
Baylee:I’m in school right now.
So I’ll be student teaching this fall.
Did you want to become a teacher because that’s what your sister studied?
Baylee:Well, our whole family is like either teachers or preachers.
It’s like a running joke in our family.
And so I kind of just always wanted to be a teacher.
So did she, and we’re like, “Why not?”
We could work at the same school.
Be off with our kids.
Is that the dream, to work at the same school?
Do you teach specific subjects or grades?
So it’s first through eighth.
Was there any particularly good or bad things about being on camera?
Baylee:I think we both love being on camera.
Like, “This is our area.”
So I got home and I was so overwhelmed.
I was so nervous.
There were so many people in my house.
Baylee:Yeah, everyone was here and you weren’t.
Brooke:And they were ready to rumble.
And I was like, “Oh my gosh.”
It was very scary that first day.
And we knocked out a lot of…
Baylee:Stuff.
Brooke:I was just so anxious.
But it was interesting for sure.
Can you give me any like sneak peeks for what we can expect to see on the show?
And he is really struggling with that.
And so moving forward, he’s going to kind of put his foot down, I would say.
Baylee:Yeah, we’ll see.
So, me and Baylee growing up, we shared a room our entire lives.
And so when my friends would come over, they didn’t just hang out with me.
It was all of us in the bed at the same time.
It was, I mean like there were, there were no boundaries.
We shared the same bathroom in the same room, same closet, same everything.
You mentioned arguments, so it hasn’t always been love and snuggling in the bed?
Brooke:That’s the thing about sisters.
So that’s another thing that people will be like, “Okay, what is your problem?”
Like Baylee’s on her period right now.
Brooke: See, animosity right now.
But like the thing about sisters is you guys can get in like the most toxic psycho fights.
So yeah, you just have to get over it.
You say to your sister, “Hey, you want to go out to eat?”
and you are going out to eat.
Like you’re fine.
Baylee:I think she was on her period that time.
Yeah, it was right after she had Ace.
Brooke:But there was more to it.
Baylee:That was literally it.
Brooke:Did you have a black eye?
Baylee:Who knows.
It didn’t bleed, but it hurt so bad.
I went right out the door.
I remember my friend was like, “Are you okay?”
and I was like, I went to take out the trash.
I never take out the trash.
I just needed a minute because I was like, “I’m about to start crying.”
Baylee:Ooh, that’s a good question.
Brooke:Oh, I have one!
I was going natural.
This was before COVID.
She’s hiding behind the curtain.
and she just would not leave.
And so, that’s one of my favorites.
And has your relationship with your sister affected your relationship with your husband at all?
Brooke:So Denver and I, Denver knows how much I love my sister.
Baylee has been there for us through so much.
He worked a lot when my daughter was born.
And so she, like, I had to go to school.
So she watched Ace all the time for me whenever I had no one else.
So Denver, he kind of…
So, that’s kind of where his emotions come from.
Baylee, how would you say your relationship with your sister’s husband is?
Baylee:For the majority of it?
It’s pretty good.
He really always sticks up for me, which I really appreciate.
You’re not going to say that."
And I really appreciate that.
Brooke:He does love her.
He really does love her.
And so that’s awesome.
But if only he could just like be chill with the other part.
Like it’s not that big of a deal if she sleeps in our bed.
Brooke:So moving forward in the season, there is actually.
He does kind of put his foot down and you’ll get to see that.
But I definitely think that I have to find the balancing act.
And so it’s definitely out in this season.
On Brooke’s daughter Ace, the littlest Candace
So Ace is how old now?
Brooke:Candace-Ace is 4.
Has she realized that her mom and her aunt have a special relationship?
She is a huge part of our life.
I feel like she’s literally both of our daughter.
Baylee:I feel that way too.
Brooke:Yeah, she calls her Baba.
And she was like, “This is Baba Johnson.”
Brooke:And I was like, “Well, that’s not really her last name.”
Baylee:She was like, “What?”
Brooke:She just was, like, shocked that she’s not a part of our family unit.
Do you guys hope that she’ll have a similar relationship in her life?
Whether with her sibling that was just born or maybe if you ever have kids, Baylee?
Brooke:Honestly, when I got pregnant I wanted a girl so bad.
Baylee:I think just for the sister aspect.
Brooke:Yeah, just solely for a close sister bond because Ace is older.
And so I’m definitely going to have more kids.
I’m going to have another girl.
I don’t care what I have to do.
We would love girls, but
Baylee:If we could just pick, it would be girls.
Brooke:So that’s what’s going to happen.
Like this is really important to my family."
This is so horrible."
And I was just so nervous about like what the future was going to look like.
And at the time, like you live five minutes away from me.
So that was really good.
And she was really good about like hanging out.
We always hung out.
And so that was really nice.
You live with your sister now.
How did that come about?
And so she ended up … we had talked about it.
We actually got quarantined together and we were like, okay … Baylee:This is way better.
So, that’s how we ended up together.
Baylee:You’re going to see that in the show.
Baylee:I definitely am a little nervous, but that’s just my personality.
I think one thing about us is we have a really good family unit.
And so we know who we are and so we’re fine.
Like, people are going to have stuff to say.
We know who we are.
And you know, we also have a really strong relationship with God.
So, we find our worth in that.
And so what people have to say, it doesn’t really matter to us.
Baylee:For me, I just have been not looking at stuff just for my mental sake.
And I feel like … You look more at it.
Brooke:We totally expected it.
And so whenever the opportunity was given, my dream in life has always been to be entertaining people.
And that’s what God wanted me to do.
And so when the opportunity came, it was a no-brainer.
And so he…
Baylee:We thought he would be horrible.
Baylee:He wasn’t like shying away or anything.
He is just the bee’s knees, baby.
Is she going to be on the show?
And how is she on camera?
Baylee:Yes, so Ace is going to be in the show a lot more.
Brooke:She loved it.
She, oh, she loved it.
She liked getting mic’ed up, like all of that stuff.
Like she loved all of them.
And she thought we meant like an interview that we would do for the show.
And so she was like, “Oh, I get to see everyone!”
She was so excited.
And we were like, “Well…”
Brooke:Yeah, we totally loved it.
They’re like family now already.
Does Baylee think that her boyfriend is “the one”?
Baylee, let’s talk about your boyfriend, Briar.
Is he on the show as well?
What was his experience like?
So he was very nervous.
He just didn’t know.
He does not like being filmed and stuff, but he did really good after a while.
He’s a great speaker.
So big, it was so cute.
We have no boundaries like me and Briar are like this.
And so that was fun too.
And he liked that too.
We were actually like me and Briar was sitting like this on the couch, watching the show together.
It bodes well for your relationship that he’s on board with both of you.
He couldn’t make it if he wasn’t, honey.
Baylee, do you think he’s the one?
Baylee:I do.
And Brooke, do you agree?
Do you think that he’s the guy for your sister?
Brooke:Oh, he’s 100% percent the guy.
He’s the guy for all of us.
That’d be great.
Baylee talks about her virginity in it.
And it doesn’t matter what people are going to say.
I feel like we just have to be who we are.
Baylee:And who God made us to be.
Brooke:Yes, 100%.
