Dove Cameron was born in Seattle, Washington as Chloe Celeste Hosterman. There has been some name confusions, since she's known as Dove, and not Chloe (I'll explain about that in the next chapter).
She is the daughter of Phillip Alan Hosterman and Bonnie Wallace (who later divorced), and has an older sister named Claire Hosterman, who is around seven years older than Dove.
Dove grew up in Bainbridge Island, Washington. When she was little, she attended Sakai Intermediate School. At the age of eight, she began acting in a community theatre called Bainbridge Performing Arts.
When Dove was fourteen, her family moved to Los Angeles, California. There, she sang Burbank Highschool's National Championship Show Choir.
Dove is also part French, and is fluent in their language, since she spent many years of her life growing up in France.
Dove stated that she was bullied during fifth grade until the end of High School!
Regardless at the pressure of school and fitting in, she focused on her dreams of being succesfull in entertainment.
