Chrissy Teigen is more of a citizen of the world than she is a native of any particular country or state. She was born in Delta, Utah to a Thai mother and a Norwegian father, and didn't settle in Utah for long. Her father's work as an electrician took him all around the United States of America for work, but it was as a teenager in California that Teigen was first spotted by a photographer. At the time she was a high school cheerleader, but was working part-time in a surf shop.
Her highest-profile television work has been as the co-host of 'Lip Sync Battle,' although she'll shortly be giving Judge Judy a run for her money with her new show 'Chrissy's Court.' When she's not modeling or presenting television shows she's busy in the kitchen: Teigen is an accomplished chef, and has published a New York Times best-selling cookbook called 'Cravings.'
