Her parents are Mary and Liberty DeVitto; her father was a long-time drummer for Billy Joel. She has two sisters, Devon and Maryelle. Her sister Maryelle was in the TV series Endurance. As a child, DeVitto spent a lot of time touring with her parents.

After graduating from Winter Park High School, she spent her summer in Japan working as a model also spending time in Chicago.

Career
DeVitto started her career by working in commercials, which she described to be a "stepping stone to get to TV and film jobs."undefinedShe was signed to Ford and Avenue One modeling agencies, but in 2002, she chose to pursue a career in acting.
