Childhood & Early Life
Farrah Lynn Abraham was born on May 31, 1991 in Omaha, Nebraska. She was raised in Council Bluffs, Iowa, by her parents Debra Danielson and Michael Abraham, who later divorced in 2010.
She had a rough childhood and a troubled relationship with her parents. They would often beat her with a belt, leaving cuts, bruises and scars.
She started dating Derek Underwood in 2006 and became pregnant in early 2008, at the age of 16. The couple separated soon after, but her mother denied her an abortion as it was against her personal beliefs.
During her school years, she was a cheerleader and aspired to be a model and a cook. After the news of her pregnancy started to spread, she decided to drop out of school and completed her education at a community college.
She was eight months pregnant when her estranged boyfriend died in a car crash on December 28, 2008. She later said that despite their separation, he was her "first love" and her "only true love". On February 23, 2009, she gave birth to their daughter, Sophia Laurent Abraham.

A few months later, she was selected as the main cast of the spin-off series 'Teen Mom', along with other teenage girls who appeared on '16 and Pregnant'. The series documented the first few years of the lives of the casts following motherhood.
