What was Abi Carter's family life like?
Abi is the second-oldest of seven children raised primarily by a single mother, after her parents separated.
When she first started on Idol, Abi shared that she comes from a very religious family, before singing a Hillsong song: Oceans (Where Feet May Fall).
Abi has spoken about helping raise her younger siblings explaining she was homeschooled from third grade, which allowed her to help support her large family while her mom pursued a higher education to support her children.
In a March 2024 interview she delved more into her education background explaining she went to 'less than one semester' at La Quinta High School, before going back to being home schooled.
'My mom had to start going back to school to get a degree to support all of us,' she explained previously.
'I, subsequently, kind of had to leave public high school and go back into homeschooling so that I could get a job to be able to buy a car and take my siblings to and from school and extracurricular activities because my mom was then occupied with her schooling.'
