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.

Career

Farrah Abraham appeared on television for the first time on June 18, 2009 in the second episode of the MTV reality show '16 and Pregnant'. She immediately rose to fame sharing her experience of being a teen mom, loss of her on-and-off boyfriend Derek, and the first few months of motherhood.

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.

As she gained fame on television, she decided to pursue her passion for cooking and took a course in culinary arts and management at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in Florida, in 2011. After earning her degree, she launched the 'Mom & Me' pasta sauce line.

She tried her luck as a singer with the release of her debut studio album 'My Teenage Dream Ended' on August 1, 2012. The album was followed by a memoir with the same title, which released on August 14, 2012.

Consequently, she became the only cast member in the show's history to appear without a partner.

In February 2014, the TV special 'Being Farrah' was released as a follow-up to 'Teen Mom'. It was accompanied by special episodes on other 'Teen Mom' casts. The success of these shows prompted the producers to think of reviving the original series. Despite some cast members being against Farrah's inclusion on the show due to her adult film history, she was recast in the revived series 'Teen Mom OG' in 2015.

Farrah, who considers music as a hobby, released another single 'Blowin'' in March 2014, accompanied by a music video featuring her daughter. In August 2014, she earned a residency at Palazio's Gentleman's Club in Austin, Texas.
