Joanna Krupa was born on 23rd April 1979 in Warsaw, Poland, in a religious catholic family to Steven and Wendy Krupa. Her younger sister, Marta, also happens to be a popular model. The family moved to Chicago while Joanna was a kid and she got enrolled at Mary Lyon Public School, and later Steinmetz High School. Joanna also took dance lessons for quite some time, which she has practised over the years. The dancing skills she possessed helped her later in the show ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
