Jaime Pressly was born in Kinston, North Carolina,[1] the daughter of Brenda Sue (née Smith), a dance instructor, and James Liston Pressly, a car salesman. In 1992, she moved with her family to Costa Mesa, California, where she spent the first semester of her high school sophomore year.[2] She spent her childhood and early teenage years training as a gymnast, which led her to modeling jobs.[3] At age 14, she appeared on her first cover, Teen Magazine,[4] and became the spokesmodel for the International Cover Model Search.[5] At 15, she dropped out of school and went to Japan on a modeling contract.[2] She succeeded in having herself legally emancipated from her parents at 15 so she could travel to Japan, as neither of her parents could make the trip.
