Her father, Peter Kreuk, is from St. Catharines, Ontario, and is of Dutch ancestry.

Her mother, Deanna Che, was born in Indonesia, to a Chinese-Indonesian father and a Jamaican mother of Chinese, Scottish, and African descent. A picture of Kristin’s maternal grandmother’s family can be seen here.

Kristin has said:

My grandmother was born in Jamaica of mixed descent. Her grandfather had come from China to work the Panama Canal. Her grandmother a woman of mixed heritage, was the daughter of a Scottish estate owner and an African slave. At least this is what I have been able to grasp from the data that is available… This… is not intended as a dissertation on my family history or the history of Jamaica itself, but more as a statement about how this quest has lead me to an unexpectedly immense feeling of connectedness.

    She is good-looking and her features are harmonious together. I don’t see anything unattractive about her, she is one of the most prettiest Eurasians I have seen. Pure Asian women are fine on their own too, why do so many interracial relationships consist of Asian women with white men if they are not found attractive?

    • J.J. says:

      white men mix with Asian women more than any other race because a man is much less selective as he has a higher sex drive, whens the last time you saw a white woman with an Asian man, a man is much more willing to breed with someone not of his race much more so than a woman, that’s a proven statistic and as to why white men target Asian women could consist of numerous reasons, the reasons i’d suggest are too R rated/controversial for this site

        To be perfectly honest, I don’t know why people rave about “Eurasian” women. Most famous Eurasian women (Kristin Kreuk, Maggie Q, and Olivia Munn) are not nearly as beautiful as many of the most famous fully Asian women (Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, Yunjin Kim, and Michelle Yeoh).

  2. mom of three says:

    She is very pretty just like the eastern europeans that have asian genes in them.

    Most of you are so damn jealous and probably very fugly and need to say something negative to make yourselves feel better. Too bad your ugly face is still very ugly and that is why you are not a celebritiy.

    @J.J.

    (the white euro gene is the special ingredient without it we wouldn’t have the good looking people we do today, the best looking Asians out there are the Eurasians with the white mix, beauty is rare with pure bred Asians,)

    Sounds like you just have a personal preference,for your euro genes .Just like with every culture or type of mix,you have good looking ones,and not so good looking.

    (beauty is rare with pure bred Asians)

    That’s not true at all

    (and mixing black with Asian is a terrible mix have you seen afro-Asians?)

    This part here,shows that you’re just being spiteful.

  4. i think she’s a partly mangoloid descent but not a chinesse

    I think Asians Chinese, Japanese, look good without admixture when they mix with whites it always looks weird and down syndrome like to me. But when they mix with blacks it looks better. Kristen Kruek is one of the better looking Eurasians.

    • beyfox says:

      Kristin Kreuk looks pretty weird to me. There are other eurasians who looks better than her.

    • J.J. says:

      what you just said doesn’t make sense whatsoever, the white euro gene is the special ingredient without it we wouldn’t have the good looking people we do today, the best looking Asians out there are the Eurasians with the white mix, beauty is rare with pure bred Asians, and mixing black with Asian is a terrible mix have you seen afro-Asians? what i’m saying is very controversial but it’s true and I agree with beyfox I’ve seen better looking Eurasians.

        What you’re saying is not “true”. It’s just the thought product of a mind that is mentally ill (as most whites and those who subscribe to their ‘racial’ philosophy are). What’s amazing is that most whites profess to believe in the Bible and say that Jesus is the “King of kings” yet overlook the fact that the God of the Bible, when choosing who would be the superior person to represent Him on earth, chose a person who had skin (arms and feet Revelations 1:15 and Daniel 10:16) like burnt/polished brass not white skin or pink skin. The only person who would champion “white” skin genetics over black or brown is a devil. They’re not following the teachings of the Bible. When God chose to turn Miriam’s skin “white as snow”, He did not do it because he wanted to make her ‘better looking’, He did it as a curse for speaking against Moses Numbers 12:9-10; similarly, He turned Gehazi’s skin “white as snow” for taking what he did not rightfully earn .

        So, whites, so-called Christian…God deemed the best skin color for His son, Jesus Christ, to be a burnt bronze skin color and the skin color which represented a curse or a person who was unclean to be “white as snow”. He also deemed the most loathsome group of people to be born of the man named Esau (Jacob’s twin brother) who God described as being “Red and hairy”. Esau had no melanin in his skin like nearly all white Euros/Americans today, so his redness was very evident. Unlike black and brown people who, when reddish color, look healthy because it blends in with their melanin, Esau color stood out from his brother Jacob’s which is why it was noted and Jacob’s skin color was not. Jacob was the normal brown shade of the Hebrews. Regarding Esau, this is one of the reasons those people of “white euro gene” who conquered America are in the south of the USA calling themselves “RED necks”.

          when I say ‘white’ I’m not just talking about fair skin i’m talking about the Caucasian race in general including all the southern Europeans with coloured skin and middle easterns as they are white Caucasians aswell. When I say whites are the best looking race I don’t mean light skin instantly makes a person attractive i’m saying Caucasians have the best physical appearance when it comes to features (jaw line, nose shape, cheek bones) when compared to mongoloids and negroids, I don’t see why any one would chose to deny this and say negroids and mongoloids are just as good looking, like I said it’s controversial and people may think it sounds very bias and racist but it’s a fact, Caucasians are more defined when it comes to facial features

          • andrew says:

            man, Southern Europeans do NOT have “coloured skin”, they’re not South Asians, I wonder which are your models of Southern Europeans. All you say about good looking race is relative, there are plenty of ugly Caucasians, the only difference is the variety of looks they have (compared to Negroids and Mongoloids)

          • ethnic says:

            I know a lot of pretty white women who would admit that Asian women have just as beautiful facial features as them.

          • midori29 says:

            @JJ Middle Easterners are not white people no Caucasians I would argue that they are a mix of Caucasian, Asian and African. But they are mostly Asian as in American Indian type mixed with Caucasian. I don’t know why you think middle easterners are white and many have mixed with black Africans.

    • guurl says:

      They look fine without mixture and mixture gives them a unique look which is found attractive. It sounds like an underhanded comment to diss Asian/white pairings somehow. Get over it, they are the largest interracial union in the united states. They make wonderful mixed babies together too. In fact, hapa children are considered be highly attractive and a lot do modeling jobs in Asian countries. Mason Moon, for example.

      • midori29 says:

        @Andrew Mongoloids, Caucasiods and Negroids ALL have a variety of looks no one group is more diverse than another. Caucasians are not exclusive to diversity in looks they may have more eye color difference but Mongoloids and Negroids have skin tone and hair textures differences in large variety also with facial features. People tend to reduce Negroids to a West African stereotypical phenotype which is hardly the case. Negroids range from café au lait to black licorice in skin tone , they also carry the epilcathic fold Asian eye shape all over Africa subgroups Capoids , hairtypes tight peppercorn hair, kinky, curly, to wavy. Also Mongoloids go from whiter skin shades than whites to deep brown chocolate skin with wavy to straight to loose curly hair. Some Amerindian Native Mongoloids in South America are pale white skin like whites.
