Kellie Rasberry was born on April 13, 1968, in South Carolina, USA. She attended Florence Christian High School and graduated in 1984. She then enrolled at Liberty University on a scholarship, which lasted for one year. When the scholarship ended, she returned home. Afterward, Kellie attended Francis Marion University for one semester but dropped out, later stating she disliked it intensely and couldn’t continue. Following her departure from college, Kellie worked for her parents, who owned a shoe store and a Western wear business. Determined to keep a promise she made to her mother, she returned to academics and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Francis Marion University in 1993.
Since childhood, Kellie aspired to be a sitcom actress and enrolled in classes at Valdotti's School of Modeling. Though it wasn’t specifically an acting school, it was the closest option available in her area. She attended a convention in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where she was discovered by agents and offered an opportunity as a plus-sized model.
Her career path took a turn when a local radio station owner noticed her potential for broadcasting. Initially, she shadowed a news host and was paid only when filling in. After four months, the regular news anchor left, and Kellie was offered the morning show position. A friend later informed her about an audition for the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show. She auditioned, earned a spot, and thus began the long-standing on-air chemistry between Kidd Kraddick and Kellie Rasberry.
Kellie has received multiple accolades, including several Favorite Female Radio Personality of the Year awards. While primarily recognized for her radio career, she also appeared briefly in the made-for-TV movie Holiday in Your Heart.
Kellie is actively involved in philanthropy. She is a member of a charity that sponsors trips to Disney World for children affected by severe illness or tragedy, along with their families. Additionally, she is a supporter of several animal welfare organizations based in the Dallas area.
Kellie became engaged to Freddie Poole in 2003. They later married and were expecting their first child in 2006 when they separated. At the time, Kellie was six months pregnant with their daughter, Emma. Kellie has chosen not to publicly discuss the reason for their separation.
On-air, Kellie has been candid about her personal life, sharing anecdotes about past relationships during her time on the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show. She once noted that it is not uncommon for relationships to falter during pregnancy. Although there were unverified rumors about Kellie stalking an ex-boyfriend, there is no credible evidence supporting such claims, and no indication that this involved Freddie Poole. Additionally, no validated reports tied her to any extra-marital relationships.
