Emma shared another glimpse into her childhood in November last year when she posted a festive photo with her sister, taken from a Christmas in their youth.

In December 2023, Emma shared candid details about her childhood to news.com.au, revealing that her youth was marred by instances of bullying.

“At school I was a little bit picked on because I was a bit nerdy and I loved school a lot and I wore glasses,” she explained to the publication. “Some children don’t know how to relate to other children that might have something that’s different to them.
“My advice is to always be yourself and know that your family and support network around us and your friends love you for who you are.”
