She's born and raised in Canada.

She is originally from Ontario, Canada, but she is currently living in Los Angeles, according to her Twitter bio.

She made a name for herself on YouNow.

While she might known for her Instagram and musica.ly accounts, Kristen first got started on YouNow. She later left the service when she saw that she was a lot more successful on other platforms.

"Kristen is an animal lover," a rep for Hancher told BuzzFeed News. "The horse was safe at all times. There were no waves and nothing that could have endangered the horse."

She was in some trouble over her visa expiring.

Back in March 2020, she ended up getting stuck in her home country after her visa expired. While the application process took a lot longer than she expected, she went on Instagram Live and revealed that she hated it in Canada.

"If this doesn't work I can't stay here. Like, I do not want to stay in f*cking Canada. I'd rather die," she said, according to Insider. "I just hope everything works out, because if not I don't know what the f*ck I'm going to do here. It's so hard for me to create content for you guys and it's my job to create content for you guys. I enjoy it, I connect with you. I can't create content here, like at all."

She was a part of Team 10.

She was previously a part of the team when she dated photographer and influencer Austin Hare. However, when they split up, she ended up leaving the group.

She had scoliosis growing up.

Her father opened up on his Instagram about her requiring surgery when she was younger.

"Lots of people have asked what's scoliosis, well its when your spine is curved, it can leave you crippled for life. When they operate they open your back and screw steel rods to your spine. This is a picture of Kristen's back after the operation. They also had to deflate her lung to get access to her backbone because it was so bent. We're all so happy that things went well and the doctors are so skilled today."

She says she's never gotten any plastic surgery.

Back in 2017, Kristen revealed to fans that she hasn't gotten plastic surgery and that makeup has helped her look a little different.

"I didn't get plastic surgery. The power of makeup people, take it or leave it. I wish I could post stuff like this without hate," she wrote in an Instagram comment, according to Superfame. "Embrace yourself, love others, and do what you want."
