Traci Bingham is an American actress, model, and television personality. She is famous for playing Jordan Tate on the television show Baywatch.
Her parents, Hazel E. “Betty” (Owens) and Lafayette L. Bingham, Sr., are both black. Traci has stated that her father also has Italian and Cherokee Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this ancestry has been verified/documented.
Traci is married to musician Robb Vallier.
Traci’s paternal grandfather was named George G. Bingham. George was born in Pennsylvania.
Traci’s paternal grandmother was named Ruth Elizabeth Gould. Ruth was born in Pennsylvania.

She’s probably mixed with white and Native American, maybe Asian.
Yeah rite, that’s an African body.
OMG y’all dumbasses got her ethnicity WRONG. I typed in “Traci Bingham ethnicity” and got this shit: Bingham was born in North Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1968, to a librarian mother and an aircraft technician father. Her mother is African American and her father is of Wampanoag Native American and Italian descent.
She isn’t just black. Dumbasses. Why is it listed only as “African American”. She’s mixed not black. Stop claiming mixed people as black, dumb niggas!!!
Thanks to Writer_278’s help, the text clearly and blatantly states, “Her parents, Hazel E. “Betty” (Owens) and Lafayette L. Bingham, Sr., are both black. Traci has stated that her father also has Italian and Cherokee Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this ancestry has been verified/documented.”
Then the text names Bingham’s paternal grandparents and includes a link to her father’s entry on the census, which lists him and his parents as black.
If I can write this in a way that would be any more clear and explicit, please tell me what that is.
For the record, it’s probably the first time I’ve been called a “dumb n–ga”.
@WTF most people have stated that Tracy Bingham was lying about her Italian ancestry and is just African American black
I highly doubt she’s lying. She looks mixed, not fully black.
@Xoxo she looks black to me. Blacks and black Africans are the Most diverse looking race on earth. Looking black means thousands of different looks, skin tones and hair textures. There are alot of anti black racists on this site unfortunately and people with self hatred issues who are mixed themselves. You’re just projecting your insecurities. To many people ALL pretty black women look mixed . Sad
you are not black
@WTF, Tracy was lying about and admixtures as many women in black Hollywood do.
She looks like she belongs on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
“Correction”- Bingham is of African American descent. I have found an obituary record of her brother LaFayette, as well as census records which document both of her parents as African Americans.

She looks different from when she was in Baywatch.
