Stephanie Ho was born in San Jose, California and grew up in Hong Kong with her parents.

Since a young age, she has been playing golf and has represented Hong Kong in many tournaments.

Her parents wanted her to be a professional golfer but she chose to be a singer instead.

She studied at Heep Yunn School and Sha Tin College but was home-schooled in her last year due to her busy schedule of maintaining singing and studying.

When she was 14, she started learning music at Baron School of Music, and completed multiple singing courses as well as being largely featured in a concept album.

After completing her A-Levels she decided to study hotel and tourism management at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

In her last year of university, she suspended her studies as she had been majorly cast in Gilded Chopsticks.

Besides playing golf, she also learnt how to play wood ball and represented her university in competitions and won awards.

Stephanie started playing golf when she was 6, and entered many tournaments.

Although she did not continue professionally playing after entering the entertainment industry, she occasionally practises golf with friends.

Since 2011, she was a professional golfer, but in December 2017, she officially changed from a professional golfer back to an amateur golfer to give herself more chances to participate in local competitions.

On 31 March 2017, Ho posted on Instagram that she would be resigning from upcoming drama My Ages Apart due to private illness.

Days later, she admitted on Instagram that she had been suffering from emotional illness as she received tremendous pressure from the public regarding her private life and health.
