Early life[edit source][edit]
Grecko was born on June 5, 1989 in Miami, Florida. [2] Her Father died when she was 12 but always stopped short of going into detail. But in a candid interview with glossy magazine Penthouse, she reveals her celebrity hairdresser father Michael died from a fatal cocaine overdose. My Dad had a lot of girlfriends, so it was me in Miami either with him or my mom. ‘I feel like I got this kind of inner drive from him, that I want to create and express myself. 'I don't like to quit, ever. I always want to quit but I never do.’ Gabi opened up about her childhood saying she spent her formative years being ferried between both parents saying: ‘He and my mother weren't married, ever. She has a younger step brother and sister from her mother's second marriage to Brian Deering, says she is estranged from her siblings but remains close to her mother, Kathy Deering. Gabi battled Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in high school and smokes weed to channel her creative streak. [3]
