Poppy grew up in Sydney, the daughter of restaurateur Phil Donahue and market research executive Nicola Montgomery. She is Australian and practices Christianity, the predominant religion in her country.
Her stage surname comes from her mother’s maiden name, a choice that stopped people from linking her to the American talk show host Phil Donahue, who shares her father’s name.
Poppy is one of six children, with four sisters and one brother: Rosie Thorn Donahue, Jethro Tull Donahue, Lily Belle Donahue, Daisy Yellow Donahue and Marigold Sun Donahue. She left school early because she disliked it; she was reportedly expelled from six private academies and left at 15 to pursue stage acting. At 18, she moved to the United States and eventually settled in Los Angeles, where her persistence earned her an agent and then led to her breakthrough roles.
Poppy stands 1.63 m (5 feet 4 inches) tall. She met actor Adam Kaufman in 2005 on the set of the film Between, and the couple welcomed their son Jackson Phillip Deveraux Montgomery Kaufman on 23 December 2007 before reportedly separating in October 2011.
Later that year, she started dating Shawn Sanford, a marketing executive at Microsoft, and the two married on 19 February 2014 at Disneyland in California, her only marriage. Together they have two children: Violet Grace Deveraux Sanford, born in April 2013, and Gus Monroe Deveraux Sanford, born in November 2014.
