A picture of Hailee with her parents and brother can be seen here.
Hailee was raised in Agoura Hills and then Thousand Oaks, California. She is a first cousin of actress and model True O’Brien.
Hailee has stated:
I’ve become more aware of my roots over the years. My grandfather, my mom’s dad, was half African-American, half Filipino. And Filipinos, I’ve learned, have many wonderful traits – the main ones being passion and pride. I went to the Philippines for the first time this spring, and it was amazing. People were like, “We’re related! We’re family.” I actually played three of my own shows there.
Hailee’s great-uncle, the brother of her maternal grandfather, is child actor Larry Domasin. Larry is pictured here and here.
Hailee’s paternal grandfather was Herbert Melvin Steinfeld (the son of Shmuel, later Samuel “Sam,” Steinfeld, and of Brindel Chaimovna Zelenetskaya, later Bessie Ethel Zelensky). Herbert was born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. Sam was a Romanian Jewish emigrant, from Iași, Iași, and was the son of Hirsch, later Julius, Steinfeld, and of Dweire, later Dora, Schwartz. Bessie was a Belarusian Jewish emigrant, from Romanovo (now Lenino), Slutsk, Minsk, and was the daughter of Chaim Zelenetsky, later Hyman Mendel Zelensky, and of Brize, later Sarah, Cohen.
Hailee’s paternal grandmother is Joy A. Wagner, later Duberstein (the daughter of Arthur Lindemann, later Wagner, and of Minnie, later Myra, Siegel). Joy was born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. She adopted the surname Duberstein when her mother remarried. Arthur was the son of Max Lindemann, a German Jewish emigrant, and of Charlotte “Jennie” Wagner, a Ukrainian Jewish emigrant, from Lviv. Hailee’s great-grandmother Minnie was born in Brooklyn, to Russian Jewish parents, Joseph “Joe” Siegel and Fannie Mitnitskaya.
Hailee’s maternal grandfather, Ricardo/Simonas Guillermo Domasin, was born in 1938 in Los Angeles, California. Ricardo’s father, Pastor “Peter” Loresca Domasin, was born, in 1902, in Panglao, Bohol, Central Visayas, Philippines. Pastor was the son of Gerónimo Domasin y Lorejo, or Gerónimo Lorejo Domasin in Filipino, and of Cirila Loresca y Domaluan, or Cirila Domaluan Loresca in Filipino. A picture of Pastor can be seen here.
Ricardo’s mother, Evelyn Olivia Bain, was born in 1910 in Los Angeles; Evelyn was Hailee’s great-grandmother. Evelyn was African-American, and she and her parents, Thomas Edward Bain (born in Kansas, to Gabrel Bain and Isabella/Belle Johnson) and Wilma Frances “Willie” Peterson (born in Arkansas, to William F. Peterson and Nannie Hall), are listed as either African-American or, sometimes, as “half white,” in census records. A picture of Evelyn can be seen here.
Hailee’s maternal grandmother is Laurita Lee Hinkle (the daughter of William Hicks Hinkle and Edith Laurita Jones). Laurita was born in Texas, and had English, German, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, and Scottish, ancestry. William was the son of Joshua Madison Hinkle and Ella Malona Payne. Edith was the daughter of Charles Kirby Jones and Ethel Effie Smith.
Hailee’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her fourth great-grandmother, Penelope “Phenina” Watson.

wiki says her paternal grandfather was filipino
i mean MATERNAL***
I like her.
Me too.
Filipinos come in different colors. But people who have not travelled much think that others cannot be dark without being Black. Australoids like the itas are very dark, yet they are the farthest people from Blacks. 99% of Filipinos do not have Australoid ancestry, & yes they are allowed to be dark as they are olive skinned. You will notice that usually, it is the laborers & those who toil in the sun that is the darkest. But still you do not have to be Black to be dark. Many Indians are dark. Many Japanese & Koreans are also dark. Many Southern Chinese are Dark. Many Southern Europeans are also dark. The world is not mad eup of Black & white people only, there is a gradient. The people closest to the equator are usually darker. Native Americans were very dark 500 years ago, yet they have no Black ancestry.
Nope, whoever you are, I suggest you don’t waste your time with these 2. I seriously think they are trolling. they are making things up purposely to get to you. I even believe it is just Fuzzy, making up multiple accounts here just to troll you because she wants Hailee to be Black. As for me, I’m out of here, I suggest you follow suit & ignore them from now on. Nananadya mga yan, wag mong patulan.
If she is racially mixed she wouldn’t look lie Serena Williams. Actress Troian Avery Bellisario has African American roots and take a look at the daughters of Victoria Rowell, Persia White and Karyn White, they are all blue-eyed, blond and white. You are wasting your time arguing with Nope/Bianca because she is a Puerto Rican troll Spanish apologist you constantly searches the blogs to dispute the African ancestry of famous people. It is not difficult to understand her twisted way of seeing things after watching Blacks In Latin America. Puerto Ricans have always loved and slavishly adored their ancestors tormentors more than they loved their ancestors. They are despised by the White latinos even to this day. Cheryl Burke, of Dancing With The stars, is part white and part Filipino though she looks part black. I’m guessing her Filipino ancestry was Negrito. Also check out the phenotypes and coloring of the largest population of Negritos in that part of the world. Definite combination of Asian & African.
real talk, i watched blacks in latin america and they did not go to puerto rico.do your research spain started pr the tainos were killed off and have no blood ties to prs,spain italy and ireland kept coming to the island in large numbers up until the early 1900’s,no doubt you have never been to the island and seen real prs.so do some research and find out why some latinos hate prs.hmmm could it be its because pr is an american commonwealth? i think thats more likely.
The Puerto Ricans were slaves longer than any other group in the west.
YOU ARE AN IDIOT. FILIPINOS ARE NOT PART BLACK OR NEGRITO MIXED. SOME OF US MAY HAVE NEGRITO ANCESTRY BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT ALL OF US SHARE THAT SAME ANCESTRY. FYI, EVEN BEFORE THE SPANIARDS CAME, THE ANCIENT FILIPINOS PRACTICED A TRADITION OF LOCKING AWAY THEIR MOST BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE SUN. WHEN THE SPANIARDS CAME AND SAW THESE WOMEN, THEY EVEN SAID THEY WERE AS FAIR AS THE SPANISH LADIES. AND BTW, FUNNY YOU ONLY MENTION CHERYL BURKE. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE OTHER HALF FILIPINOS AND TELL ME IF THEY LOOK PART BLACK TO YOU:

why the fuck is there a pic of darren criss here? his mum was born on the phillipines but she is mixed with filipino & chinese and spanish. and darren ‘s father is irish so he’s very far away from bein half filipino
Just to let you know, most Filipinos will say they’re mixed with Chinese and Spanish, but today, about 95% of Filipinos are mixed with something else because of past invasions. I mean it’s not like Darren’s maternal grandparents are Chinese and Spanish, it just means that some of his ancestors might have been Chinese or Spanish.
If you look at Darren’s mother’s picture, she looks just like any other Filipino woman her age. A lot of Filipinos today are just trying to sound cute by saying they’re mixed with something else even if it’s only 1/10 of foreign blood in their body.
Darren Criss is still considered half-Filipino.
and btw, she is racially mixed that’s why she DOES NOT look like serena williams who is as ugly and dark as sin:

Like your typical dark skin Puerto Rican and Dominican man or woman. Only the light Puerto Ricans are mixed.
This may or may not be true.
She is 3/4 caucasian and 1/4 filipino period.
Yes.
