Hila Klein (née Hacmon, Hebrew: הילה חכמון‎) was born on December 12, 1987 in Holon, Israel, to a Sephardic Jewish family. Her father is of Libyan-Jewish descent, whereas mother is of Turkish-Jewish descent.[5] Hila served as a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces for two years. During her military service, she met Ethan Klein in 2007 while he was visiting the Holocaust Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem at the time on his Birthright Israel trip.[6] She then attended the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel, but did not complete her studies.[7] Hila became a naturalized U.S. citizen in September 2019.[8]

After several years together, the couple married on October 12, 2012. During the early years of the channel, the couple lived together in Israel, in the Florentin neighborhood of Tel Aviv.[9] In April 2015, the Kleins moved to the United States,[10] first living in Los Angeles[11] then moving to New York City in September 2015[12] and later back to Los Angeles in August 2016.[13] They are secular Jews.[14] They have one son together, Theodore Yochanan (Hebrew: דור יוחנן‎), which they named due to the fact that Hila wanted him to have a name that worked in Hebrew as well as English, in order for her family to be able to easily pronounce it.
