Raducanu is a dual citizen of Canada and Great Britain. While she plays tennis for Great Britain, she was actually born in Toronto, Canada. She moved to England in 2004 at the age of 2 and was raised in Bromley, south-east London.
Her father Ion Răducanu is from Bucharest, Romania, and her mother Renee Zhai (originally known as Dongmei) is from Shenyang, China. She is strongly connected to both sides of her heritage and speaks both Romanian and Mandarin.
"I grew up here, so I feel British. But I'm influenced by the cultures of both my parents," she said in an Elle interview in May 2022. "My mum instilled respect for everyone as a big part of my life. There's also mental toughness and strength – not necessarily through being confident and everyone knowing that you are, but having that inner sense of belief. I feel like it's a big thing in Asian culture."
