Early life and education
Ho is a Vietnamese-Chinese American and was born in Los Angeles, California, but grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her parents are Bach Ho and Cuu Ho and she has a sister named Jackelyn, who is a yoga instructor. When she was a teenager, she started her first business called "Cooplex Cookies & Candies," which lasted from 2001 to 2005. Her interest in fitness and nutrition began when she was 16 and discovered Pilates. Ho has also said that it was her "childhood dream to become a fashion designer." She went to James Logan High School. In 2003, she won the San Francisco Miss Teen Chinatown beauty pageant. She told Asian Fortune that coming from an Asian culture, her parents expected her to choose a career as a doctor or lawyer. When she was 16, she told her father that she wanted to be a fashion designer. Her father, in response, told her that she would fail, make no money, and have no friends. She went to Whittier College on a John Greenleaf Whittier full tuition scholarship with the career aim of becoming a doctor. She graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in biology. ==Career==
Career
Ho started her online fitness businesses while she was still in college. Her workout videos are often featured in online newspapers and videos. In 2024, after Taylor Swift wore Popflex's Pirouette skort for a YouTube short, the item sold out in 15 minutes. The skort made another appearance in her official music video for "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart". The attention for the item had attracted copycat designs being sold on online marketplaces such as Shein and Amazon multiple times. Despite having patents filed in 2025, Gottex allegedly copied the skort's design and sold theirs in Nordstrom. After Ho's team sent Gottex and Nordstrom cease and desist letters, Gottex's lawyers threatened legal actions instead if she pursued "any further infringement allegations." ==Body-shaming response==
Body-shaming response
In April 2015, Ho responded to an increasing number negative comments about her body by creating a video that quickly went viral. In her YouTube video The "Perfect" Body, Ho receives negative social media messages about her body. She is then presented with tools that allow her to "photoshop" her body into a socially perceived ideal body image. However, when she looks into a mirror, she is dismayed by what she sees. Ho's stated intent in creating this video was to respond to cyber-bullying with the goal "...to show that cyber-bullying and mean comments really affect people, and to think before you say something. I hope that people do the exact opposite after seeing this video, which is enlighten everyone around them with positivity." ==Personal life==
Personal life
On August 22, 2017, Ho announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Sam Livits on her official Instagram page. They married on October 6, 2018. Cassey is the CEO and Head Designer of POPFLEX, while Sam serves as the COO. Together, they have a dog, a pomapoo named Sir George the Magnificent. ==References==
