Born and raised in Southern California to a Black mother and Jewish father, Jennifer Freeman knew from an early age that she wanted to be an actress. Jennifer grew up in Long Beach with her mother and a pair of younger twin sisters. It was at the early age of 13 that she was discovered in a grocery store and a talent manager gave her a business card.

Several months later, the family moved to Northern California, and a year later the family returned to Long Beach in support of her acting career. Soon after returning, Jennifer contacted the manager, who began sending her out to casting directors immediately, and it wasn't long before she began booking modeling jobs and television commercials.
