Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was born at the (now closed) Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth, Devon, England. Her mother, Fiona (née Jackson), is a fitness instructor, and her father, Charles Andrew Huntington-Whiteley, is a chartered surveyor. Her paternal great-great-grandfather was politician Sir Herbert Huntington-Whiteley, 1st Baronet; Herbert's son, Eric, was the "black sheep" of the family, and had married Rosie's great-grandmother, Enid Kohn, who was from a family of Polish Jews who immigrated to England in the 1870s.
Huntington-Whiteley grew up on a farm in Tavistock, Devon. Growing up in Devon, she was bullied and teased at school for having a double-barrelled name, small breasts, and for her full lips. In 2003, when studying at Tavistock College, she was discovered by Profile Model Management while seeking internships with several London-based modelling agencies.Her first modelling session was at 16, posing for a Levi's commercial. In 2004, Huntington-Whiteley was photographed by Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch.
