Tina was born as Tina Catherine Slatinsky on December 11, 1967. She was born in Miami, Florida to parents Robert and Catherine Slatinsky. We have very little to share about the early stages of Ball’s life, which makes sense considering the fact that she only slipped under the radar in the later stages of her life. However, we do know that she is of white American ethnicity. Additionally, Ball grew up mostly in Chino Hills.

Now looking at her academics, Tina then joined Alta Loma High School in California. She then moved to California State University and graduated from the institution in 1991.
