Kristen Kish, the Top Chef judge, is married to Bianca Dusic. The two got engaged in September 2019 and tied the knot later in 2021.
Kristen revealed that she had never thought to get married before because the country's law did not allow it. However, soon, marriage between same genders became legal, and this gave her an opportunity to wed her favorite person.
As for Bianca, the Top Chef judge's wife, she hails from Australia. She lived in Melbourne till her 20s, but after this, she decided to explore the world and opportunities outside the country. Bianca, in her bio, has revealed that her parents were immigrants. And as for her passion for moving abroad, she wrote in an Instagram post,
"With little money and some thoughtful (and not so thoughtful) planning, my friend and I left Melbourne in 2006 and I never moved back home! I didn’t run away or leave because of someone, I just had a strong pull to go, to find out what I really wanted to do.”
Bianca Dusic - All about Top Chef Judge Kristen Kish's wife
Bianca used to work in corporate at The Standard Hotels in London when she met Kristen Kish, the Top Chef judge. She was the vice president of food and beverage for Standard International.
Kristen has revealed that the two initially had a tough time even meeting with each other because of how jam-packed their schedules used to be. Given the fact that corporate work is demanding and Bianca had to work from Monday to Friday, Kish says that she sometimes worked more than her.
However, since then, Bianca has changed her career path. She has now started working as a hypnotherapist and owns a business called bWithin. This allows users to book her services as group classes and events, or even private sessions.
It is noticeable to everyone that going into wellness after an established career in corporate seemed like a bold move. Commenting on the same, Bianca wrote on her website,
"I left behind a job that, to the outside world, seemed safe and secure. It was the same sense of curiosity that inspired the travels of my younger years, but now I chose a path that could help people, the way others had done for me."
Kristen Kish and Bianca Dusic's marriage
Top Chef judge Kristen Kish was the one to propose to Bianca Dusic in 2019. They announced the news in an Instagram post. They decided to marry in April 2021; however, things were a bit hard at the time because COVID restrictions had not yet been lifted.
This made it tough for them to have a big wedding, and thus, they decided to keep it small. With their close friends and family present. The couple got married in a ceremony in their backyard. Talking about the same to Today Dish, Kristen said,
"We decided if getting married was what was most important, then that is what we’ll do, just a bit differently. Ultimately, we had our family (and were) doing what was the most important to us in our home. Small and intimate is our style; this was just even smaller (albeit different), yet more perfect than we could have ever imagined."
Top Chef season 22 airs new episodes weekly on Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern Time on Bravo. The next day, they can be streamed online via Peacock.
