She was born in August of 1946. Connie is best known for acting as both reporter and news anchor for a number of U.S.-based television news networks. Including NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC, at which she has interviewed a number of important individuals and covered controversial themes, especially those which are political. In fact, she was removed from her position at the CBS Evening News in 1995 after her interview with a Oklahoma City bombing fireman was seen as too pressing. As well as asking Newt Gingrich’s mother his unedited thoughts of then-first lady, Hillary Clinton. The event went on to gain national controversy, including a parody on NBC’s sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live. Though Chung was born in China, her family moved to the United States when she was less than a year old; she was raised in Washington, D.C. Since 1984, Chung has been married to TV show host, Maury Povich. The couple have three children, two from Povich’s first marriage, and one adopted son, Matthew.

They reportedly signed a contract to purchase a $9 million house with 12,500 square feet of living space. Both Povich and his wife allegedly wanted to return to the city where they both grew up, having both lived in New York City for many years.
The property was built in 1929 with brick-style construction. The outdoor area features a pool, koi pond, gazebo, and extensively manicured gardens.
