Early Life and Education
Christina Storm was born on 1 April 1974 in Pretoria, South Africa. During her childhood, her parents separated, with her father relocating overseas. Her mother, who was a gypsy, remarried, leading to a nomadic lifestyle for Christina. As a result, she attended nine different schools throughout her education.
Personal Life
Christina Storm was in a relationship with former Springbok rugby player James Small for ten years, during which they had a child together named Ruby Cina Small. Their relationship was marked by frequent break-ups. Tragically, on 10 July 2019, James Small passed away at the age of 50 after suffering a heart attack while at The Harem, a strip club in Johannesburg. It was confirmed that he collapsed while having drinks at the bar. An autopsy revealed the cause of death as ischemic heart disease, and subsequent police investigations found no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
After seven months of dating, Christina married Paul Nel on 9 October 2013. Paul Nel owns three businesses: Café Mexicho, Showco, and Presentech. Together, Christina and Paul have two children named Eve and Vincent.
In late 2020, Christina experienced depression and anxiety, which prompted her to enter a rehabilitation program.
