Awkwafina went to Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, where she studied jazz and classical music and played the trumpet.

To represent her “quieter and more passive” nature during her undergraduate years, she took on the stage named Awkwafina at 15.

To communicate freely with her paternal grandmother, the actress learned Mandarin from 2006 to 2008 at Beijing Language and Culture University.

She received a dual degree in women’s studies and journalism from the University of Albany, a State University of New York, in 2011.

Awkwafina Parents

The father of the actress, Wally, is a member of a family of restaurateurs who immigrated to the country in the 1940s and opened the first Chinese restaurant in the area. Wally was employed in the field of information technology.

Her mother, Tia, was an artist who immigrated to the United States in 1972 from South Korea with her family.

Awkwafina was raised by her father and paternal grandparents when her mother died of pulmonary hypertension when she was four years old.

At this time, she was especially close to her paternal grandma.

Awkwafina Husband

The actress is not married yet. Since the actress keeps her personal life so private, it’s unknown exactly who Awkwafina’s partner is.

Although the actress may be unmarried at the moment, some indications point to a possible relationship.

Awkwafina admitted to The Guardian in 2018 that she was in love and felt at peace with her long-term partner.

She added in the same interview that she doesn’t think having a traditional family is for her. The actress appears to be unmarried, and if she is dating the same man she mentioned in the interview, there is no information about who he is.

In an interview, the actress also stated that she went on her first date to blend in with her friends who were already dating.

Awkwafina’s friend set up their blind date, which appeared to be an excellent choice at first, but as the evening progressed, she realized her date wasn’t right for her.
