Brooke Burke finds joy in Arizona's rural lifestyle, including rodeos, country music, and stunning sunsets.
Brooke Burke and her fiancé Scott Rigsby reside in Arizona with their six children.
Brooke Burke, her fiancé, Scott Rigsby, and their blended family will always be up for a rodeo trip.
In an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital, Burke shared that one of her "favorite experiences" is attending rodeos, which she enjoys due to her upbringing in Tucson, Arizona and raising her family in the Grand Canyon State.
"A rodeo is a must-attend for those who have never been, offering fun, great music, live bands, bull riding, and a casual atmosphere with a cowboy barbecue. The experience is so enjoyable that it's a favorite for country music lovers who love to dance."
She said, "I love line dancing and country swinging. It's a blast, and I take the kids. So much fun!"
Burke and her ex-husband, David Charvet, share daughter Rain and son Shaya. She also has two daughters, Neriah and Sierra, with her first husband, Garth Fisher. Rigsby has two kids of his own.

Burke and Rigsby are content with their "simple" life in Arizona.
The desert has a calming and peaceful effect on me, and I love the sunsets. It represents family time for Scott and me and our kids, as our parents are there, including my mom, his mom, and dad. It's a great opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation, which I need.
Due to her family residing in a "remote" region of Arizona, Burke experiences the advantages of rural life in a small town.
"There's something about the desert that's just so calming and so peaceful for me. I love the desert sunsets. It really represents family time for Scott and I and the kids." — Brooke Burke
"We're in the mountains and it's secluded. I love it because it has a small downtown with a small-town feel. There's a rodeo there, which reminds me of my roots. It's simple, and Scott and I hardly ever leave the house unless for the rodeo. We cook and make pizzas there."
I've created a blue-zone concept in my space, where I only bring good things that inspire wellness. We work out, sauna, cook, juice, and do smoothies. I create content, and the lighting and architecture are gorgeous. We hike with our dogs, and it's amazing.
Burke and Rigsby are currently in the midst of wedding planning. Initially, they had planned to get married in May 2024, but the process has taken longer than Burke anticipated.
"We're always planning our wedding and have numerous ideas, which frequently change. Last time we spoke, I believed it would be in May. Well, May is here now. We may surprise everyone," she stated.
Burke's family had a busy year in 2024, and in June, she revealed that the couple got engaged in 2021, shortly after her 50th birthday.

At the time, she said, "We were supposed to have the greatest party of our life, but we didn't have a minute to breathe. Our two children were turning 16 and getting their driver's license, Sierra was graduating from USC, and Neriah was supposed to be on tour. We finished building our home in Arizona, but we didn't have time to plan anything. So we had to go back to the drawing board and get really busy."
Rigsby hopes the future ceremony will be very special for their family.
"The reason for us to do it is for the kids, us, and our family. We want to do it right and not rush into it."
Rigsby stated, "We could always opt for a weekend wedding or a quick plan, but we prefer to do it correctly."
In 2023, the fitness guru shared her plans for her future wedding with the outlet.
Brooke Burke cherishes the rodeo in Arizona as one of her most beloved experiences.
"Burke stated that the wedding they wanted to design was one they could enjoy and not just a big party for show. For him, it had to be meaningful or not at all, which was the challenge. To create something fabulous and grand while maintaining intimacy and keeping it special was the goal."
