Victoria Justice is an American actress and singer of Puerto Rican and European descent. She was born on February 19, 1993, in Hollywood, Florida.
Her father, Zack Justice, is of Irish, English, German, French, Dutch, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Scottish, and small amounts of Cornish and Welsh descent. Her mother, Serene Reed, is of Puerto Rican descent.
At a young age, her parents divorced, and her mother, Serene, remarried a man named Mark Reed, resulting in Victoria gaining a younger maternal sibling named Madison Grace Reed, who is three years younger.

In a recent interview with Netflix’s Con Todo in October 2022, Victoria Justice passionately delved into her Puerto Rican heritage, expressing her love for various aspects of the culture.
She excitedly shared her favorite Puerto Rican dishes, such as thin and crispy tostones with mojo sauce, and the delightful combination of lechón with rice, beans, and grilled onions, causing her mouth to water just at the thought of them.
When asked about her preferred destination in Puerto Rico, she enthusiastically mentioned Rincón. This charming surfing town holds a special place in her heart as her family’s hometown and a reminder of her roots.
Victoria’s pride in her heritage is evident as she expresses her desire to wave the Puerto Rican flag wherever she goes, embracing the opportunity to represent and celebrate her culture at every possible moment.

While filming the hit series Victorious, Victoria Justice balanced her education by attending Cleveland High School before eventually completing her diploma through a home school program.
Justice began acting at age 10, appearing in television commercials and guest starring on several television shows, including Gilmore Girls, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and iCarly.
Victoria Justice’s acting career took off in 2005 when she landed the role of Lola Martinez in the Nickelodeon TV series Zoey 101, which she stayed with for its entire four-season run.
Following that success, in 2010, she was cast as Tori Vega in another popular Nickelodeon series, Victorious. The show was a critical and commercial success, running for four seasons.
Justice also starred in the 2010 Nickelodeon made-for-television comedy horror film The Boy Who Cried Werewolf. Since Victorious ended, Justice has continued to act in film and television.

Justice is also a singer. She has released two studio albums, Victorious (2011) and Neon Lights (2013). She has also released several singles, including “Gold,” “Beggin’ on Your Knees,” and “Treat Myself.”

Victoria Justice has been walking the carpet for two decades already. During her Nickelodeon days, she made it a point to bring her adorable half-sister Madison Grace Reed.
Back then, Victoria had to crouch down and put her arm around little Maddy’s shoulders to look sisterly in photos. Years later, the actress once again walked the 2017 People’s Choice Awards red carpet with her sister Maddy.
This time, however, she had to adjust her arm placement quite a bit. Once she had to reach down to Maddy’s level, but now she had to reach up.

Maddy had grown into a tall, slender young woman, while Victoria had remained relatively petite. The two sisters still shared the same dark hair and blue eyes, but Maddy’s face had lost its childish roundness, and her features had become more defined.
Victoria wore an exquisite dress made entirely from beads by Kuwait-born designer Yousef Aljasmi. It’s not just a bead-embellished dress – every inch of the dress is covered in gold and silver beads.
The actress complemented her fantastic dress with Swati Dhanak and Miansai jewelry and finished her look with a metallic pair of Stuart Weitzman sandals.

Victoria walked the red carpet with a tall and straight posture — partly because her date, little Maddy, was not so little anymore. The actress now puts her arm around Maddy’s waist because her sister has managed to outgrow her after ten years on the carpet.
The Victorious actress is three years older than her half-sister. Despite being all grown up, Victoria couldn’t help but still call her sister “little munchkin” in an Instagram upload.
