Her mother moved to Montréal in 1999 nine months pregnant with third child David, and eventually earned an accounting degree at the Université de Montréal. In 2000, Cyprien moved to North Carolina where the family eventually settled in 2005 after leaving behind political turmoil in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They eventually immigrated to Canada in 2006, settling in Toronto, Ontario. Victoria started playing tennis at age 4 after watching her three older siblings Gracia, Kevin and David practice the sport. The family moved to Burlington, Ontario in 2010 so the children could train at the Ace Tennis academy. She is currently part of the National Training Centre in Montréal since 2021.
