Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :
- Meghan Payton was born on March 21, 1997. She spent much of her childhood in Texas but moved to Louisiana with her brother, Connor, and their parents, Sean and Beth, when her dad was named head coach of the New Orleans Saints in 2006.
- In Louisiana, the Paytons lived in a house along the Gulf Coast that was built after Hurricane Katrina had destroyed the area.
