The name Stevie first appeared in the obituary for their late grandmother, Kathleen Sluck, who died in July. It read, “Kathleen was an exceptional mum to her two daughters; Kim and Dawn; and was overjoyed to become a grandmother to her grandchildren; Alaina, Adam, Hailie, Stevie, P.J., and Parker.”

Stevie came out as bisexual in 2017 and requested at the time to go by the pronouns she/they.
