Childhood and Family

Tatiana Gabrielle Hobson (the actress's full name) was born in California, in the city of San Francisco, on December 25, 1996. Her distinctive features, reflecting her Asian heritage, come from her Korean mother and African-American father.

By age three, she was already in front of cameras after modeling agency scouts discovered her, leading to her first photo shoots. Tati promoted products for major shopping centers Macy's and Nordstrom. According to Gabrielle, her family treated it as a fun hobby, and the pay was minimal. Still, this marked Tati's entry into show business and her first steps toward an acting career.

However, in her childhood, Tati had no thoughts of becoming an actress. Looking back, she describes herself as a shy but eccentric girl with a "spark" in her heart. She idolized her mother, calling her the "main superhero." The future actress adored Lisa Lopes, the TLC member who tragically died in a car crash in 2002.

Simultaneously, Tatiana practiced Eastern martial arts and even earned a black belt in karate. She says sports have always been part of her life, helping Gabrielle stay in great shape.

Acting Career

Before breaking into acting, Tati was a devoted movie fan. She was most inspired by the films "Leon" starring Jean Reno and Natalie Portman, as well as "Colombiana" (2011) where the lead role was played by Zoe Saldana. Seeing Zoe, an actress with Latin American roots, on screen inspired the future star, giving Tati hope that she too could make it in Hollywood regardless of her background.

A year later, the actress added two more projects to her resume. These were the TV shows "K.C. Undercover" and "Freakish". In both projects, she appeared in several episodes and got to work alongside major stars. For instance, while filming "K.C. Undercover", she worked alongside Zendaya, and the two even became friends.

In 2018, Gabrielle scored a breakout role in the supernatural series "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina". She played Prudence Blackwood, a student at the Academy of the Unseen Arts and a powerful witch who serves as rival to the main character, young witch Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka), who refused to serve the Dark Lord in order to live a normal life. The arrogant and coldly beautiful Prudence proved to be a perfect fit for the show.
