Courtney Friel was born on April 22, 1980, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. From a young age, she had aspirations of a career in television. During her high school years, she participated in the school's televised morning announcements and took a media production class, which further fueled her passion for broadcast journalism.
Her career received an early boost when Channel One News invited her to participate in a student-produced week in Los Angeles. She was selected for this opportunity based on an impressive short audition video. Friel later earned a degree in Arts from San Diego State University.
Courtney Friel has built a successful career as a news anchor and reporter, currently working at KTLA-TV in Los Angeles. Over the years, she has worked with several prominent networks and programs, including Fox News Channel, Court TV, E! Entertainment, Oxygen Channel, Comcast Cable, Extra, WBBJ-TV, GOTV, and the World Poker Tour.
Her engaging on-air presence and journalistic skills have earned her recognition in the industry. Notably, she was covering the 2014 Rancho Cucamonga wildfire—a significant blaze that consumed over 1,000 acres—when she was humorously asked out by a shirtless local resident during a live interview. Although unexpected, Friel handled the situation professionally, continuing to report amid the challenging circumstances.
Courtney Friel married fellow journalist Carter Evans in May 2005. The couple has two children. Although the pair later divorced, they continue to co-parent amicably.
Carter Evans is also an accomplished journalist. He has reported on numerous major stories, including the 2010 BP oil spill, the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the 2013 police standoff with Christopher Dorner (during which he provided live coverage), Hurricane Irene, and the Great Recession. He has been affiliated with notable outlets such as CNN, WNYW, WWOR-TV, KCBS, and KCAL, and is currently a CBS News correspondent.
Friel is known both for her journalistic work and her striking appearance. With a height of 5 feet 6 inches and a fit, athletic build, she is often regarded as one of the most attractive personalities on television. Of white ethnicity, she is recognized for her blonde hair and engaging presence.
She maintains a notable presence on social media, where fans can stay updated with her professional and personal life. As of recent figures, she has over 31,900 followers on Twitter (@courtneyfriel) and around 4,800 followers on Instagram. Her Twitter bio reads:
