KCRA 3’s beloved evening news anchor, Ty Steele, has announced his departure from the station, but behind his successful career stands a remarkable woman – his wife, Stephanie.
As Steele prepares for a new opportunity outside California, let’s take a closer look at the woman who has been his pillar of strength for the past 15 years.
A Partner For Life
Ty and Stephanie Steele’s journey began in Eugene, Oregon, where they worked at their second TV station.
In a heartfelt Facebook post celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary on September 7, 2023, Ty shared a glimpse into their early days:
“We were in our first TV market in Eugene, Oregon, at our second station. My wife was the main breadwinner, and she even went back to work two weeks after giving birth to our first daughter. She didn’t have a choice. We needed her income since I didn’t make enough.”
More Than Just A Supportive Wife
Stephanie Steele is not just a supportive spouse; she’s a powerhouse in her own right.
A licensed marriage and family therapist, she has successfully juggled multiple roles.
She is a full-time professional licensed marriage and family therapist, Ph.D holder, mother to four daughters, and a supportive partner.
Ty marvels at his wife’s dedication:
“Even more impressive — while Stephanie was working full-time as a licensed marriage and family therapist, she was also getting her Ph.D. and breastfeeding. She even took numerous breaks at work every day to pump for our girl.”
Balancing Act: Family And Career
The Steeles’ life has been a carefully choreographed dance of career and family responsibilities.
While Ty anchored the evening news at KMTR NBC 16, Stephanie managed her professional duties, academic pursuits, and motherhood gracefully.
As they celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary, Ty’s admiration for Stephanie is palpable.
He writes, “When I think back on this time, I can’t help but be filled with gratefulness and love for my wife. She is an amazing woman, professional, wife, mother, and the best partner a person could ask for.”
With Ty’s departure from KCRA 3 on September 19, 2023, the Steele family is embarking on a new adventure outside of California.
