Exciting Insights From HGTV's Mountain Mamas Hosts Jackie Wickens And Trecie Wheat Hughes

Being the hosts of HGTV's newest show Mountain Mamas may be intimidating, but Jackie Wickens and Trecie Wheat Hughes couldn't be more excited. In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, they opened up about what makes their show different from other home renovation programs. Their unique approach to real estate and renovation is sure to captivate audiences looking for fresh perspectives.

Jackie shared, “First and foremost, our format of our show is a little bit different to start with.” The show, which premiered its first episode on August 10, 2019, features a blend of house hunting and renovation episodes. Instead of strictly following one format, they offer a mix where they house hunt, buy, and renovate, providing a comprehensive view of the home buying and renovation journey.

Jackie emphasized the importance of representation, stating that their show is a refreshing mix-up compared to HGTV favorites like Property Brothers and House Hunters. “I think it’s cool because it gives us the opportunity to put ourselves out there and show people that it’s not girl drama; we truly support each other and lift each other up,” she explained. This supportive dynamic is a core element of their show and offers viewers a positive take on women in real estate.

Behind the Scenes of Mountain Mamas

Mountain Mamas follows the lives of Jackie and Trecie, who help clients navigate a variety of historic homes, from log cabins to ranch houses that need some tender loving care. “With Trecie’s sharp design sense and Jackie’s construction know-how, they’ll find their clients diamonds in the rough and transform them into Montana dream homes,” a description from HGTV states. This partnership allows them to showcase their individual talents while working towards a common goal.

Trecie echoed Jackie’s sentiments, explaining why they believe viewers will be drawn to their show. “I feel like it’s a good combination too,” she said. “Like, we have fun, we love our crew … seriously we’re like cracking up half the day.” Their chemistry and joy for the work they do shines through, making it enjoyable to watch.

Living in Montana adds a unique twist to their show. Trecie noted, “In Montana, it’s different too because the focus here … is life can be pretty simple here, people love the outdoors.” This emphasis on simplicity and outdoor lifestyles resonates with audiences, as it reflects a genuine and relatable way of life.

Personal Insights and Future Aspirations

With their new TV show, Jackie and Trecie aim to engage fans with their vibrant personalities. They hope that viewers will connect with them even if it means being compared to HGTV greats like Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines. “We’ve had a lot of that especially in the beginning,” Trecie admitted. They emphasize authenticity, stating, “We just always say the truth — we’re just ourselves and that’s all we can really be.”

The challenges of working in Montana are real, especially when it comes to the style of homes and materials used. Trecie pointed out that factors like extreme weather conditions and costs of labor play significant roles in their work. “That’s the hardest one I think,” she shared. Despite these challenges, they are dedicated to delivering quality content and helping their clients achieve their dreams.

Fans can look forward to more exciting episodes of Mountain Mamas, showcasing the incredible journeys of home renovation and the beautiful landscapes of Montana.
