The bubbly lady with a top-notch career in sportscasting in contemporary America. Yes, we are talking about the Fox mogul, who has literally been dominating the NFL sideline and established herself as quite a household name to the sports freaks. Kristina Pink’s unique blending of go-getter drive and humility made her an instant sensation behind the gridiron. Pink started her career while she was still in college. An early passion for sports and the urge to be on camera, the presentable aura, and excellent analytical ability added to her resume, and the outshot is right in front of your eyes: a whopping $85,000 annual paycheck.

But this lofty journey to the helm of journalism would only remain a quiescent dream if she had not had extremely supporting parents by her side through thick and thin.

Who is Kristina Pink’s mom?

Mom, Lorna Joy Pink, and father, Donald Pink, moved from Miami, Florida, to a smaller town, Pembroke Pines, shortly after her birth. She had a jolly childhood like every other kid in the neighborhood and was largely regarded as an outright outgoing kid. Breaking the big boys’ play football narrative, Pink started developing a knack for sports, particularly football and basketball, from a very young age. However, as a child, she never thought to take that passion into a profession. Rather, her teenage dream was to become a teacher and spend time with the young hearts, but destiny had a surprise to unfold in the midway. In 2012, life took a U-turn. After some brief stints at school and college, Pink finally joined the blueblood Fox family as a reporter and never looked back.

But the road was not a bed of roses at all. As a woman, it’s difficult to keep her chin up in a male-dominated society. But she ate the bread and left no crumbs. Journalism and sports need a breakneck pace to follow, and it’s not easy to cope for any reporter, irrespective of gender. But as a woman, it added some more unwanted narratives to the script.

“Oftentimes you’re in the heat of the moment, and you can say something really fast, and it doesn’t come out the way you want,” she says, ‘‘Then it’s, ‘Oh, she doesn’t know the game.” It’s her mom who filled her cup of inspiration each and every day and never let her give up on a dreamy pursuit. The 63-year-old lady, a crazy basketball fan, has been a constant source of support in Pink’s life, accompanying her to the events LA Emmy Awards and more.

Not many know about her father’s profession, either. But he is the inspiration behind Pink’s superlative career choice.

Who is Kristina Pink’s dad?

As mentioned before, the supreme FOX lady was never sure about what she wanted in his career until and unless she received a push from his dad. Thankfully, Donald Pink noticed his daughter’s chatterbox trait and thought to channel it in a great way.

“I remember my dad and my family were telling me to figure out what I wanted to do for a career. And he was like, ‘You know, you like talking, so maybe you should look at broadcasting?’ They say people get the news bug, and I had that the second I walked into the campus TV station. I was, like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing; this is what I wanna do for the rest of my life!'” Pink divulged in a past interview.

However, Donald didn’t just want his girl to follow the diverse path of sports only because of her talkative and extroverted nature. But he also wanted to see his unfulfilled NFL dream grow and expand through his kid. Donald has been a lifelong NFL fan. It’s a matter of utmost pride for a father to see Pink excel in the field.

Pink isn’t very outspoken about her family, but her Instagram gave it away oftentimes. Her bond with both mom and dad turns the heads of the netizens, setting a beautiful definition of harmony between the home.
