Kristin Laura Kreuk was born on December 30, 1982, in Vancouver, British Columbia. She grew up in Vancouver with her parents, Peter Kreuk, who is Dutch, and Deanna Che, a Chinese Indonesian, both of whom are landscape architects, and one younger sister. Her parents' birth nationalities resulted in Kristin's unusual, but beautiful, Eurasian appearance.
She had plans to study psychology, environmental science, or forensic science at Simon Fraser University when a casting director for the CBC TV series Edgemont contacted her secondary school, looking for an exotic-looking girl to play the part of a Chinese Canadian, Laurel Yeung on the Vancouver-shot show. Kreuk's drama teacher convinced Kristin Kreuk, who had no previous acting experience other than in musicals at her high school, to audition for the role. To her surprise, she won the part.
