News anchors split
(Rob Loud/Bermuda Department of Tourism)
News couple Bianca de la Garza and David Wade are calling it quits. The local morning anchors, who have been married for 12 years and work for competing stations - she’s with WCVB-TV (Channel 5), he’s with WBZ-TV (Channel 4) - confirmed the split yesterday through manager Mendes Napoli. “This is a very difficult time for both of them. Their focus remains today and in the future on raising their daughter,’’ said Napoli, who will continue to represent both de la Garza and Wade. In a Globe profile of the pair last year, Wade said, of competing with his wife for ratings: “For 30 seconds, there was a feeling of, all right, we are going to compete against each other. Does that mean we are going to have ill feelings toward the other. . .?’’ De la Garza said of the rivalry: “It brings out the best in both of us.’’
