Blake Abbie was born to his parents, June Wong Abbie and Robert Abbie. They welcomed him on October 30, 1990, in Montreal, Canada, and raised him in Vancouver.

He was also cast for the role of “Thomas” in the Chinese version of Meteor Garden, a popular TV franchise. The Netflix/Hunan TV coproduction garnered five billion views in the two months of release just in China alone.
