Liv was born and raised in Taichung, Taiwan. Her mother is Taiwanese, and her biological father is Italian. She recently opened up about growing up in a bilingual household on her Facebook page, writing, "The truth is I AM TAIWANESE and I am a third culture kid. I was raised in a bilingual household in Taichung until 17 and hold a Taiwanese passport. My biological father didn't raise me — in fact, I have never met him. My Dad, surname Lo, is from Hong Kong and raised us bilingually because they wanted a bigger world for our family."
