They were in Utah when Teigen was born, but the family moved around a lot, finding themselves in places like Snohomish, Washington where Ron and Pepper ran a tavern called “Porky’s.” They fell in love, and Ron, an electrician, brought Pepper and Tina to America.

There, Pepper was a single mom with a daughter (Teigen’s older sister, Tina).
