Pia was born in Viña del Mar, Chile. When she was four years old, she moved to Australia with her mum, brother and sister. At seven, her mum enrolled her in modelling school.

In 1998, when Pia was just 14, she entered theDollymodelling competition (which also launched the careers of Miranda Kerr and Jess Hart), and won. She was given a contract with Chadwick Models and soon after, was walking catwalks all over the world.

During this period, Pia finished high school online and in 2001, appeared on the second season of reality TV showSearch for a Supermodel.

However Pia later shared that she became disillusioned by the modeling industry when her body was put under the microscope.

"I remember being told to my face that I wasn't right, that I was too fat, that my body wasn’t right," she toldOK! Magazinein 2015.

"I'm Latino. I have hips, I have a butt, I've got boobs and I've always sort of embraced my curves."

At 19, she gave birth to her first son Isaiah Loyola.

"I was in my late teens caring for a baby, working, bringing him to shoots and worrying that maybe I was damaging him in some way while everyone else was out finding themselves or whatever," she told Elle Magazine in 2017 of that time in her life.

"But somehow I don’t feel like I missed out because as soon as the boys were older, I got a presenting job with Qantas and was able to see the world that way. Then I landed myHome And Awayrole so it’s all worked out, just in a different order."

In 2005, Pia began dating AFL player Brad Miller. She gave birth to their son Lennox Miller in 2006, and by 2007 the pair were married.
