Everything to know about Top Chef host Kristen Kish's wife
Bianca Dusic's early life and career
Dusic was born and brought up in Melbourne, Australia, as an immigrant's daughter. In her early 20s, Dusic had an intense desire to see the world, and in 2006, she set out traveling. The decision was motivated by restlessness and wanting to find herself, as explained by Dusic in an October 2022 Instagram post, where she further wrote:
“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!”
Before turning her attention to wellness, Dusic served in a variety of positions within the hospitality business. Her tenure began in London, where she taught and worked in restaurants.
She eventually found work in the corporate food and beverage industry. Dusic's last position within this business was Vice President of Food and Beverage for Standard International, the operator of The Standard Hotels.
Transition to wellness
Dusic ultimately decided to shift careers, abandoning her corporate food and beverage position to become a wellness coach. She started her wellness business, bWithin, with an emphasis on mindset and transformation. Dusic now provides hypnotherapy, breathwork, emotional freedom techniques, and holistic health coaching services.
In her own words on the company's official website, Dusic described her career shift as a way to help others. She explained,
“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.”
Through bWithin, Dusic works with clients to improve their mental and emotional well-being, offering both group classes and one-on-one private coaching sessions.
The Top Chef host and Bianca Dusic’s wedding
Kristen Kish proposed to Bianca Dusic in September 2019, announcing the engagement online with a photo of a romantic moment between the two. As per People Magazine in March 2025, the couple wed on April 18, 2021, with an intimate ceremony in their backyard due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of their guests attended the event virtually.
Reflecting on the decision to have a small and private ceremony, while talking to Today that same month, Kish explained,
“We decided if getting married was what was most important then that is what we’ll do, just a bit differently.”
When Kristen Kish took the position as the new Top Chef host, Dusic took to Instagram to express her pride in March 2024, admiring Kish's resilience and personal growth. Dusic posted,
“I’m so proud of you for not letting fear guide your decision making... I know how much pressure you put on yourself but you channeled the nerves into excitement and that simple shift changed everything. My greatest joy is watching you grow and shine.”
Top Chef airs Thursday nights at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
