Aimee Teegarden was born and raised in Downey, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, and lived in a "regular" home with a mother, father, brother, and many pets.
At the age of ten, Aimee Teegarden was contacted by an acting class, and asked her parents to sign her up. They agreed, and enrolled her into a few acting classes. Not long afterwards, Aimee Teegarden’s dream of acting was realized, when Aimee Teegarden got an agent and started going to auditions.
