Early life, family and inheritance

Sloan was born as Jennifer Emily Dunham on October 24, 1988 at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland, Oregon, United States, to Celina née Hayes, an educator, and Joseph Dunham, a mechanic. Her mother is of Filipino-American descent and her father an immigrant from the United Kingdom. Her maternal grandmother, Amelia née Vega, was Filipino and her maternal grandfather, Philip Hayes, was a Seattle native. In an interview, Sloan described herself as a "proud Filipino-American woman" and said that her maternal grandmother made sure to share her Filipino culture and Catholic faith. Though regarding her ancestry, Sloan has said she has "mixed feelings about my ethnic status and how I should identify" because of her light skin and not speaking Filipino.

She has an older brother, Jacob and two younger identical twin sisters, Josephine and Jessica. She and her siblings were raised as Catholic but did not attend Catholic school nor were raised with a strict Catholic upbringing. Their father was an electrician and their mother was a schoolteacher. From a young age, Sloan was interested in being a teacher like her mother, and often helped her younger sisters with homework and school activities. Sloan's family originally lived Northeast Portland and later moved to Vancouver, Washington, in the summer of 1995 to allow Jacob to finish elementary school in Portland and to be closer to her maternal grandparents. On September 2, 1998, Sloan's parents died in a traffic collision while traveling on Interstate 205 to pick her and her siblings up from school.

After her parent's death she and her siblings immediately moved in with Amelia and Philip. Amelia got legal guardianship of the children the next year and Sloan started attending Fort Vancouver High School in 2003. Sloan's grandfather later passed away in 2005 during her junior year from a heart attack. During high school she was interested in English and was active in the yearbook and photography clubs and graduated in 2007 with honors. She subsequently attended the University of Washington in Seattle, moving in summer 2007 to live in campus housing. Her brother Jacob was also studying at the same university. During her sophomore year, their grandmother died in her sleep from natural causes on November 26, 2008.

Sloan and Jacob immediately left Seattle to get their two minor sisters and subsequently took time off from school heal from the tragedy. The siblings initially lived in their grandmother's house right after her death in order to get guardianship of the siblings and to deal with their grandmother's house and estate while Jacob's wife Candace stayed in Seattle. At that time, they did not know about their grandmother's secret fortune. They sold the house in spring 2009 and Jacob used the funds to buy a modest house in Seattle for his wife and siblings, leaving Vancouver at the end of Josephine and Jessica's sophomore year. Sloan then went back to school while taking on a maternal role, graduating from the university in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in marketing. She worked at Microsoft as an associate marketing director and director of social media. Josephine and Jessica graduated in 2010 and Sloan moved out of Jacob and Candace's house into her own apartment with Josephine. Jessica would relocate to Eugene, Oregon, to live on campus at the University of Oregon.

Since the family moved from Vancouver, they faced personal struggles. Sloan's sister Jessica dropped out of university and started to party, excessively drink and do drugs while having to work multiple jobs after being fired several times, including when she worked at Sprint. Josephine became isolated from the family and solely focused on school and her career and Sloan's older brother Jacob and his wife Candace divorced in 2011. Sloan began a relationship with Microsoft employee Trent Dominguez in 2012 in an on-again off-again relationship which took a toll on Sloan.

In May 2018, Dunham and her siblings decided to take a cruise on the MV Viking Sea as a get away following a stressful year of setbacks in their personal lives.
