She was born to father Sang Cho, a Korean American surgeon in Boston, and a Jewish American mother, Donna Cho. Her father was born and raised in Korea, and later immigrated to the US to practice medicine. Her mother was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.
In early 2003, Cho was recognized by People magazine as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People".
Cho gave birth to her first child, Louisa Simone Gottlieb, on May 17, 2007, in New York City, and continued maternity leave through the summer, returning to the newscast on September 4. Her child is 1/4 Korean, 1/4 German, and 1/2 mixed European ancestry.
