Cohan is the daughter of an American father and a British mother and has a diverse heritage that includes Irish, Norwegian, and Scottish ancestry. At the age of five, she converted to Judaism after her mother remarried. Her surname “Cohan” comes from her stepfather, which she adopted during childhood.
She lived in New Jersey until the age of 13 before relocating with her family to Surrey, England. There, she continued her education and later attended the University of Winchester, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Drama and English Literature.
