Caroline Winberg was born in Sollentuna, Sweden as the daughter of Thomas and Camila. Winberg enjoyed a relatively normal childhood and was something of a tomboy in her youth. In fact, it was en route to soccer training that a scout spotted the 15-year-old teenager and suggested that she consider a career in modeling. Though Winberg always harbored dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, the exotic and exciting world of modeling proved to be an irresistible force.
