Her career spans multiple stations, including ESPN, JUCE TV, and NBC5, and she has an alleged net worth of $1 million to $5 million.
Early Life and Family Background
Bianca Castillo Peters was born on 17 November 1989 in Miami, Florida, making her 36 years old as of September 2026. Her zodiac sign is Scorpio. She was raised in the California inland cities of Chino and Ontario alongside her two siblings. Her father, Anthony Moreno Peters, is a former Los Angeles Superior Court judge, while her mother, Patricia Castillo Peters, is an interior designer. Both parents are American-Mexican nationals of Mexican heritage.
Peters' sister, Moriah Castillo Peters, known professionally as Moriah Smallbone, is a Latin Christian country artist. Since 2023, Moriah has been a cast member of the streaming TV series The Chosen, portraying Bathsheba, one of King David's wives. Her brother, Anthony Ezra, works in retail. Peters also has an uncle who was a football player and a cousin currently in the profession.
Education and Early Career
After completing high school, Peters enrolled at California State University, Long Beach, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. Her career began during college, where she served as a sports anchor and reporter for College Beat Productions in Long Beach. She also produced and hosted a college football show while at the university.
Speaking about her career inspiration, she told the New York Post in March 2018: "I am 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh less than 110 pounds, but on the inside, I am a 6-foot-4, 230-pound football player. In my mind and heart, I was created to be on the football field, but like most other people, my genes have had the last word." She added context about her football-obsessed upbringing, her uncle's professional career, and her decision to enter sports broadcasting to stay close to the game.
Professional Journey and FOX 5 Tenure
After college, Peters landed her first job at ESPN as a host for the X-Games events in Los Angeles. She later co-hosted JUCE TV, a nationally syndicated talk show analyzing social, political, and spiritual issues. Before that, she worked at WFOR-TV in Miami as a traffic anchor and sports reporter from 2016 to 2019. She also served as a news anchor and reporter at KOBI-TV in Medford, Oregon, and worked as a morning show anchor and reporter at NBC5, KOTI, and FOX 26 in southern Oregon.
Peters joined FOX 5 in September 2019 and became a familiar face to New York viewers. She co-hosted Good Day Wakeup (weekdays, 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m.) and then Good Day New York (weekdays, 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.) alongside Rosanna Scotto. In January 2024, she transitioned from the morning show to anchor daytime slots, hosting The Noon and The FOX 5 News at 6 p.m. She also made guest appearances on Fox & Friends Weekend, sparking broad media interest. Peters departed FOX 5 in May 2026.
Personal Life, Net Worth, and Current Status
As of September 2026, Peters' next permanent broadcast role has not been officially announced. She remains active on social media platforms like Instagram and X (Twitter), sharing updates on travel, daily life, and current events. She posts about her travels to places like London, Paris, and the Bahamas.
Her alleged net worth is reported to be between $1 million and $5 million, though not confirmed by Peters. According to Career Bliss, her salary is believed to be around $75,000 annually, the average for an anchor at Fox News, though this figure is unverifiable.
Peters is unmarried. In July 2025, she posted Instagram images of herself attending a wedding, captioned: "A year later… celebrating the biggest wedding there ever was ✨❤️✨," leading to assumptions about her own wedding. She was reportedly in a relationship with NFL player Danny Amendola, though they were not married. The two were photographed together in October 2018, leading to a public breakup between Amendola and his then-girlfriend Olivia Culpo. Peters reportedly did not know Amendola had a girlfriend at the time. According to US Magazine, she was also romantically linked to Matt Kalil, a former NFL offensive tackle, while in college.
Peters stands 5 feet 4 inches (160 centimetres) tall and weighs less than 110 pounds. She is a wine professional, an SSA Certified Sommelier, and has interviewed Emily in Paris actors William Abadie and Lucien Laviscount. She also won the Miss Malibu Pageant in 2010 and was among the top 10 finalists in the Miss California contest that same year.
