Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren was born on January 1, 1980, in Stockholm, Sweden. Her mother, Barbro Holmberg, is a politician who served as migration and asylum policy minister of Sweden, while her father, Thomas, is a radio journalist who has served as bureau chief in Washington D.C. for the Swedish Broadcasting media. Elin has an identical twin sister named Josefin, and the family resided in the coastal town of Waxholm, near Stockholm, while the girls were growing up.
An avid physical fitness enthusiast with classic Scandinavian good looks, Nordegren began modeling during her teens, often working as a swimsuit or sports model. Her career was moderately successful, though she opted to continue her post-secondary studies in order to have something to fall back on.
She enrolled in university in Berlin, where she studied psychology for a time. In addition to modeling, she and her sister also worked as "au pairs," or nannies. They were employed by Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik to mind his four children, and often accompanied his family to international tournaments.
