Taylor Zakhar Perez: Diverse Ethnic Roots

Though born on December 24, 1991, in Chicago, Taylor spent most of his childhood in Chesterton, Indiana. Growing up with seven siblings in a Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Mexican family, the 31-year-old had several intersectional experiences. While his parents instilled a sense of gratuity into Taylor, his siblings — Koehn, Maria, Katie, Kristy, Jenna, Ron, and Grant — helped him learn patience and compassion. However, the loving family recently sustained a significant loss as Taylor’s eldest sister, Kristy, passed away due to Stage Four Colorectal Cancer. Despite the devastating loss, Taylor and his family continue to honor their beacon of inspiration.

The star graduated from Chesterton High School and later went to UCLA, where he majored in Biology, Spanish, Culture, and Community with a minor in Television and Films. During this time, Taylor also worked with an NGO and helped apply DREAMERS prep to enter universities. Despite his father’s high expectations, Taylor, who had swam competitively for 10 years, decided to pursue another path in life. The star is very close to his family and loved ones and never misses a moment to spend quality time with them.
