Early Life
Jaclyn Eilers grew up near Mineral, Illinois on a farm that had been in her family for four generations. In 1997, her father James was the victim of a car accident that left him with two broken legs. He received a settlement of $4 million in 2001.
In 1998, Jaclyn's family--including her father James, mother Robin, older brother Nicholas, and older sister Rachel--moved to Tampa, Florida, after her father said he was called by God to pursue missionary work and become an evangelist. For the next several years, the family traveled to countries including India and Honduras to preach Christianity. Hill has been estranged from her father since her parents' divorce in 2012.
Hill was homeschooled during her childhood. She attended college in Sarasota, Florida. Hill formerly worked as a freelance makeup artist and at a MAC Cosmetics store.
