Jennifer Hawkins was born in the Australian city of Newcastle, two hours north of Sydney, in 1984. This regional township has a predominant beach culture, making it the perfect family environment.
Jennifer was the youngest of four children, a position that exposed her to plenty of influence and tutelage from older siblings. Her parents, homemaker Gail and train company manager Robert, remain happily married to this day.
One of Jennifer's first hobbies was dancing, something she took up at the age of 5. While she was devoted to dancing, it never got in the way of her education, which commenced at Barnsley Public Primary School and then continued at West Wallsend High School. During those years, Jennifer was regarded as a quiet student and was always at the top of her class.
In 2001 she was named the National Rugby League's Cheergirl of the Year and got on the cover of Big League magazine (the National Rugby League's official publication). That was the start of her modeling career - first she modeled for a student designer fashion show, then moved on to beauty pagenats - and soon she was Newcastle's Miss Surfest. Jennifer finished third at the Bartercard Miss Indy competition, and did a television ad for the Newcastle Knights Store. This got her contracts for modeling jobs with Airtime Clothing and Dirt Action magazine.
Jennifer won the title of Miss Australia which gave her national attention - and the chance to participate in the Miss Universe pageant in Quito, Ecuador, in 2004. Jennifer became Miss Universe and besides some knick-knack, she was awarded a $45,000 film school scholarship and an apartment in New York.
