Talia Jackson (@taliajacksonofficial) is the daughter of Kelly Jackson, a former model, film producer, actress, and writer, and Trent Jackson, a professional basketball player, and star UW basketball player. Her parents actually initially met in college in 1992 while they were both students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Her parents are well-off; her mother, Kelly, was a model who worked for some of the biggest brands of the time; she was also a producer who worked on a number of films. Kent used to play basketball for the National Basketball Association (NBA) and has made his own name in the sport. He was a great basketball player since his school days and he played for various schools and universities throughout his career as a basketball player.

The parents of Talia Jackson were married for 17 years until divorcing in 2009. Her mother, Kelly, took custody of her after their divorce, and together with her brother Armani Jackson (@armanijackson)—who is now an actor as well—they moved to Los Angeles, California, in the United States. They visit their dad Trent every weekend.

When she was 7 years old, she debuted in a Disney English educational television program and began her acting career. She had aspirations of being an actress and building a name for herself in Hollywood films since she was a young child.

Later, her parents supported her enthusiasm and sent her to acting and singing school, making her dream come true. She first appeared in numerous Madison Nutcracker productions. Kelly Jackson has a strong network of casting directors and producers, which enabled her daughter to land a role in the 2012 movie A Green Story.

Talia and Armani used to live in Los Angeles, California, with her mother Kelly. Then she auditioned for a singing part at Adderley School for the Performing Arts in Santa Barbara. She turned down the opportunity to perform on stage with Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli (@andreabocelliofficial) in a 2009 holiday tour.

On social media, Talia's mother Kelly frequently discusses the discrimination she experienced as the wife of a black guy. She also demonstrated strong involvement in the US's Black Lives Matter movement, which sought to provide justice for African-Americans who had been subjected to racial discrimination.

Jim Doyle, an American lawyer, politician, and Democratic Party member who served as Wisconsin's 44th governor, and his wife Jessica Laird, are friends with Talia's mother. She was given the name 'Talia' by Jim and Jessica.

So, it is safe to say that her parents know a lot of people and have many friends in the movie and singing industry which has helped Talia in a lot of ways. However, the actress has proved her talent many times on the screen and won the hearts and minds of fans online with he role in Family Reunion in which she plays the role of Jade.
