Early Life

She has two brothers and a younger sister (Frankie, Alex, and Stephanie). She is of Mexican descent. Her grandparents migrated from Mexico, and she’s part of her family’s second generation to be born in the United States.
Rebecca Gomez started her career as early as nine after convincing her parents to allow her to go for auditions, commercials, voiceovers, and modeling while she was homeschooled. She did this to contribute to her family’s income after losing their home and had to live in their grandparent’s converted garage.

After returning to the States in 2015, He played for the United States Men’s National Soccer Team as a midfielder. He has had quite an impressive performance and is credited with having fast feet.

The injury, which he thought to be a simple strain, ended up being a Lisfranc injury, the type that requires surgery. Fortunately, he was able to return to the field in March 2018 after the treatment, as well as support from his partner.
