Age, Birthday, Parents, and Siblings

Fadal was born on 4 December 1970 in Massachusetts, the USA. Except for her birth date, she has ceased sharing any information about her early life and parents in the media. 

However, on a recent Mother’s Day occasion on 8 May 2022, she shared an old picture featuring her childhood self alongside her mother (name unknown) and sister Jennifer on her Instagram handle @tamsenfadal. Alongside the photo, she wrote,

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there… and my love and prayers to those to whose mothers are no longer with us. My heart is with you. This is always a day for a lot of reflection for me. I wonder what my mom and I would talk about or how my life would have evolved differently. My mom got sick at 44 and God took her at 51… the age I am right now. It is perhaps why this year is such a pivotal one.”

The Instagram post suggests her mother is no more alive as she died of breast cancer in 1990. According to her, her mother was only 44 when she was diagnosed with the disease. Then, after fighting with it for over seven years, she passed away at the age of 51, the same age Fadal is right now. 

Furthermore, via another Instagram post dated 21 February 2018, Fadal wished her sister Jennifer a happy birthday. She shared a beautiful sibling photo with a caption that read, “To my fabulous sister @jennfadal I love you so much! Happy Birthday to an amazing year.”
