REALITY TV STAR TAMI ROMAN AND THREE-TIME GOLD MEDALIST KERRI WALSH-JENNINGS SWAP LIVES FOR ONE WEEK ON ABC'S "CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP," WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10

"Tami Roman"/"Kerri Walsh-Jennings" - Reality TV Star Tami Roman ("Basketball Wives," "The Real World") and three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Kerri Walsh-Jennings are featured on "Celebrity Wife Swap," WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10 (10:00--11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Tami Roman has appeared on the reality TV series, "Basketball Wives" and "The Real World." Today, Tami lives in Houston, TX with her boyfriend, former NFL Football player, Reggie Roman, and daughters: Lyric (20) and Jazz (18). Jazz's best friend, Keanu, is also a permanent fixture in their home. Tami runs a multitude of businesses, including self-branded lines of jewelry, make-up and hair pieces. Tami and her husband enjoy nightlife and quite regularly frequent strip clubs together -- in addition to hosting a racy nightly radio show. Tami doesn't enjoy exercise - and when accompanying her husband to the gym - Tami goes straight to the sauna while Reggie works up a sweat. Tami and her family don't have the healthiest eating habits, as Tami doesn't cook and the family often eats high calorie takeout. Tami also smokes, even after suffering a mild heart attack.

Kerri Walsh-Jennings is a three-time Olympic Gold Medalist who lives in Los Angeles, CA with her fellow pro-volleyball player husband Casey Thomas Jennings and their three children: Joey (6), Sundance (5) and Scout Marjory (2). The family follows a strict routine and schedule when it comes to the kids. They also follow a healthy diet and work-out regularly. With Kerri training for the 2016 Olympic team, Casey handles more of the day-to-day needs of the home and kids.

When it's time for the swap, Tami arrives at her new home and is not enthusiastic when she realizes young children live there. Meanwhile, back in Houston, Kerri sees junk food in the refrigerator and questions the family's lifestyle. Meeting their new families, Tami is taxed with cooking the family a healthy dinner while keeping on the kids' schedules -- which Tami tries to do, but struggles to get everything done on time. In Houston, Kerri sits down for dinner with her new family only to be served fried takeout and soda. Throughout the swap, the women find their new roles full of challenges and unexpected situations. When it's time for the rules to change, both women are determined to make changes that will impact each family in a positive way.

"Celebrity Wife Swap" features two women of celebrity families trading households, lifestyles and children (but not bedrooms) for one week. During that time, the women - and swapped families - learn what it's like to live in someone else's shoes, but everything changes during the second half of the week when the women make their own rules and get the chance to run the household their way. At the end of the week, the couples reunite for a raw, honest and highly-charged exchange of views in which they make frank assessments of one another and discuss the experience.

"Celebrity Wife Swap" is produced by Zodiak LA. Bruce Toms, Tony Yates, Alex Cross, Michael Davies, Joel Karsberg and Cem Yeter are executive producers. It is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1-channel surround sound. This program carries a TV-14,D,L parental guideline.
