On the Season 2 premiere of the family reality TV show Meet the Peetes, “Taco Bout a Party!”, actress Holly Robinson Peete, her retired NFL quarterback husband Rodney Peete, and their family settle into their new home. But before they get too comfortable in their new digs, the 54-year-old mother of four wants to throw a housewarming party. Her biggest obstacle is getting the rest of the family to commit to the event. On Season 2, fans will watch the Peetes take a road trip in a RV (Holly is behind the wheel!) and her mom Dolores (who’s in her 80s!) is dating! But it’s not all fun and games.
Holly spends a lot of her time giving back and raising money for the family foundation, the HollyRod Foundation, which provides “medical, physical, and emotional support” to individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease as well as families of children with autism. Their son RJ is autistic, and Holly’s father Matt Robinson, who played Gordon on Sesame Street, lost his battle against Parkinson’s in 2002.
