Personal life

Nathan John Owens was born in 1984 to Diana Maxwell and Nathan Owens Sr. In Daly City, California.[1] His family later relocated to Sacramento where he finished school. He has a tattoo of his older sister Anissa's name on his arm—whom he credits with getting him into modeling. His parents are divorced but he keeps a good relationship with both. His middle name is in honor of his maternal grandfather, WWII veteran John Maxwell.[2] His grandmother Mary Maxwell passed away in 2011.[3] Once he started modeling in 2007 a campaign with renowned photographer Bruce Weber in NYC inspired him to move out to New York. After living there for 6 months he booked a hosting job for an NBC subsidiary out in LA and relocated once again. He's currently living in Santa Monica, Ca but spends most of his time in San Francisco and Sacramento with his close friends and family. Avid sports enthusiast Owens always makes time for his native area teams, Golden State Warriors, 49ers, and Sf Giants. He has been quoted saying he believes the areas and cultures he grew up in were collectively the best and most diverse experiences he could imagine. They’ve given him a great foundation in approaching the vastness that the world has to offer.

Owens speaks a little bit of Spanish.[4]
