Eva Pilgrim (born August 30, 1982) is a South Korean-born American broadcast journalist who currently co-anchors the ABC afternoon news program GMA3: What You Need to Know with DeMarco Morgan.[2][3]

Early life

[edit]

Pilgrim was born in Seoul, South Korea to a Korean mother and a white American father. Growing up, she mentioned “There weren't that many half-Asian women on television when I was a little girl. I grew up in a town where everybody looked so very different from me, so for me seeing those women on TV, it wasn't just, 'Oh, I can do that job,' but, 'Oh, women like me exist in other places than where I live”.[4]
