Brooke Burke was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. Her exotic, original looks can be attributed to her family's heritage, which blends her French/Irish father with her Portuguese/Irish mother. When E! was searching for a replacement for its show Wild On, a swimwear company that Brooke worked for recommended her to the entertainment network. After the encouragement of a friend of hers, Brooke went for a casual meeting and interview with E!, which led to a trial show in Spain.

E! was looking for a spontaneous, personable and down-to-earth person, and since Brooke fit the bill perfectly, she was signed to a three-year contract with the network as host of the travel show, Wild On.
