Martin was born and lives in New York City, though she spent much of her childhood in her father’s home city of Birmingham, United Kingdom. She was named after "Bomber," the nickname of her father, an amateur boxer.[6]
In 2006, while pregnant with Bombette, her mother, Mary Apple, CEO of Pretty Pushers, designed for herself the first Pretty Pusher Labor Gown.[7]
In 2021, Bombette and her brother and fellow skateboarder, Kayo Martin, were featured in a promotional campaign for Gap Inc.[8]
