Her middle name, Chishell was a portmanteau made by the unique circumstances surrounding her birth. Her mom went into labor in Shell Station, and Chris her attendant was there to help her to deliver her baby. Strause's book refutes the gossip about her birth. She told Strause that her mother was having car trouble and that she stopped at a station. As she waited, she entered pre labor and was helped by a car attendant to get her to the hospital. Strause was born in the hospital. Prior to knowing she was expecting her mother split up with her father's biological father, who was half Japanese and half Spanish. Jeff is her step-son. Chrishell Strause had to live in a tent in middle school, so she did not attend school for the full year. At the time, Strause mentioned washing her hair in the river, relying on food stamps, and concealing her identity from her students. At the age of 10 years old, her parents "struggled with addictions and mental health." She then joined the Worldwide Church of God. Strause says her mother was having a free spirit and self-righteous. Her mother did not have an occupation that was steady.
