She is the daughter of John Jeffery Black and Georgina Marquez Kelly, who are veterinarians.[3] Her mother is of half Mexican ancestry, and her father is from Iowa,[4] is of Italian, English, and Polish ancestry.[5][6][7] She has one younger brother named Chase (born August 25, 1999). Her parents divorced in 2003 when Black was in first grade. Her grandmother lives in Illinois. Black's aunts and uncles live around the United States.[4]

Black originally attended private school from kindergarten to 6th grade. She moved to a public school due to bullying.
