Early life, family and inheritance
Sloan was born as Jennifer Emily Dunham on October 24, 1988 at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital 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 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. 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.
In 1998, Dunham's parents died in a car accident while traveling on Interstate 205 in Vancouver, Washington. Her and her siblings were subsequently raised by Amelia until she passed away in 2008. Dunham went to Fort Vancouver High School and graduated in 2007 with honors. She subsequently attended the University of Washington in Seattle. After her grandmother passed away, Dunham and Jacob helped raise their minor twin siblings and relocated them to Seattle. She graduated 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.
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.
In 2018, Dunham married billionaire business magnate in the port of London after their voyage on MV Viking Sea. They have two children: William II and Judah. In late 2021, Sloan and her husband divorced in Marion County Superior Court citing irreconcilable differences. Sloan went on to marry Cordonian Prince Leonardo, Duke of Moselle.
