jett isn't thai. when her parents immigrated to the us, they changed their name to jett so that it would be easier. but both of her parents are thai. and yes she was born and raised in maryland. and along with her bro Ryan, she also have two younger half siblings, Vanessa and Victoria. (Seems to me someone likes names starting with V's. and to me it's kinda odd having both a vicki and victoria in the same family - but hey to each its own, right?)
