Ivy Teves was born in the Philippines and grew up in Simi Valley, CA. She is of Filipino and Chinese descent. At the age of fifteen Ivy was approached by a modeling scout and quickly began working in print, international commercials, catalogs and on the runway. Growing up Ivy developed an interest in martial arts and has studied various kinds: kung fu, karate, boxing, stick fighting and has a black belt in taekwondo.
