Haley Loraine Keeling in Fort Myers, Florida, on January 7, 1988. Her
parents, Leilani (née Dorsey Bennett) and Ronald Keeling, met in
church and hitchhiked to Florida while Leilani was pregnant with her.
She is of English, German, Irish, Lithuanian, and Scottish descent.
She was raised in Naples, Florida. Her parents divorced when she was
six years old and she moved to Ohio with her father, who opened an
automobile repair shop there. They moved regularly around the state,
with Bennett later saying, "There was no time when I lived anywhere
longer than two years. I was always a social outcast. Maybe I didn't
care what people thought because I [thought], 'Well, I probably won't
stick around here for too long.'" Bennett describes her childhood as
"nomadic", as she moved between living with her father in Ohio and her
mother in Florida:When Bennett was 10, she and her father moved to
Stow, Ohio, where she attended Stow-Munroe Falls High School. At 13,
she enrolled at Barbizon Modeling School in Akron, Ohio. She attended
the International Modeling and Talent Convention in 2001 and 2006,
where she won a major award, acted in school plays, and sang in
choirs. She also lived with her mother in Naples occasionally, where
she attended Barron G. Collier High School, and studied music and
acting. When Bennett was 18, she persuaded her mother to take her to
Los Angeles for three months to pursue an acting career. Just as she
was about to return home, she managed to secure representation by
claiming to her prospective agent that a highly regarded agency had
approached her; the agent refused to lose Bennett and signed her. She
began using her mother's maiden name as her stage name.
