If you have ever watched television series This Is Us then you definitely know such a
gifted actress as Chrissy Metz, who plays Kate Pearson.
This role made her a real celebrity in Hollywood.
Before that, she led a simple way of life, first working in McDonald’s and later as
a talent agent.
Her debut on a big screen happened due to TV series called Entourage, where she appeared
in only one episode.
In 2016, she was lucky to get one of the main roles in This Is Us and that’s how Metz
became a worldwide known movie star.
Chrissy can also boast of taking part in such hit films as The Onion Movie, Loveless in
Los Angeles, Breakthrough and many others.
And now, let’s have a closer look at the celebrity’s family.
They say it is not the most exemplar one but all family members are extremely proud of
Christine’s achievements in the filmmaking industry.
The father’s name is Mark and he served in the US Navy and worked in Japan.
That’s why the whole family lived there until the actress turned 8 years old.
Upon coming back to America, Mark left the family and remarried a woman Maria.
Metz is not in touch with dad and in one of the interviews even stated that he is a stranger
to her.
The mother Denise divorced Mark in 1988 when Chrissy was 8.
One year after the divorce, Denise got romantically involved with another man, who left her as
soon as he found out about her pregnancy.
And so, Denise was left with three kids from the first marriage and one more kid that had
to be born soon.
Obviously, she was struggling financially and at times, even didn’t eat to make sure
the children are not hungry.
Then she met Crayton Hodge, married him and moved to his house.
In 2017, she suffered a stroke and now has speech difficulties.
The step-father’s name is Crayton Hodge and he used to work as a driver.
According to the movie star, Crayton bit her because of her size and made her weigh her
body.
However, Hodge doesn’t comment it.
Instead, he said that he always noticed Metz’s talent to singing.
The celebrity has two blood siblings.
Monica is a sister, who lives in Florida.
Unfortunately, there is no more information about her life.
Philip is a brother to a famed actress and nothing is known about his either personal
or professional life.
There is also a half-sister, who was born in 1988 to Denise and man with whom she had
a short affair.
She used to work as a model but is currently a designer of T-shirts.
She is also a mother to three kids.
One more half-sister was delivered in 1992 and it is a common child of Denise and Crayton.
She resides in Florida and is a parent to two children.
Finally, Rebecca is a step-sister to Chrissy.
She is a daughter born during Crayton’s first marriage.
A movie star herself had been married to a journalist and screenwriter Martyn Eaden since
2008 and up till 2015.
The couple met on a dating site in 2006 and after two years of dating, tied the knot officially.
They filed for a divorce in 2013 and two years later were officially divorced.
Since 2016 and till 2018, Metz had been romantically involved with Josh Stancil, who is a cameraman.
Since 2018 and till present moment she is in relationship with a composer named Hal Rosenfeld.
The film performer doesn’t have any children as yet but loves them a lot.
She says she is a child herself and needs some time to grow up to have such a responsibility
as a child.
