Ann Skelly’s Age and Early Life
Ann Skelly was born in Dublin, Ireland, on December 6, 1996, and soon after moved to County Wexford in the SouthEast region of the country, where she spent her childhood in quaint countryside villages.

After attending Catholic school for a few years, she started being homeschooled.
