How Old is Nona Sobo?
Nona Sobo is currently 24 as the youngster was born on March 3rd, 2000. The records captured her country of birth as Thailand and she was welcomed into a Theravada Buddhist family. However, when the family couldn’t take care of her, they had to put the then-two-year-old Nona up for adoption.
The then toddler was later adopted by a lady who goes by the name, Mei Sobo. Mei took Nona down to Caldes de Montbui, Barcelona, Spain where she completed her growing-up years. To date, Nona still lives in Barcelona, Spain.
When Mei took her adoptive daughter home, she named her Mariona Soley Bosch. However, the then-toddler found it hard to pronounce her first name Mariona, and ended up calling herself Nona. With time, Nona Sobo took over her real name and no one hardly calls her Mariona again.
