Christa Fells and Orlando Robinson Sr. welcomed their son, Orlando Robinson Jr., on July 10, 2000, in Las Vegas, Nevada. His father had competed in collegiate basketball for CSU San Bernardino. Orlando’s father is currently employed as a union pipefitter. The NBA player’s father is 6 feet 5 inches (1.95 m) tall, thus in addition to sportsmanship, he also inherited a physically fit body.
Christa, the mother of the basketball player, is a former educator who now works for the Clark County Fire Department. Christa Fells, a 2001 University of Nevada–Las Vegas alumna, joined the fire department in 2013 and currently has positions as an instructor and fire engineer. The basketball player appears to have the love and support of both of his parents. Aadiah Fells Robinson, his only sibling, attended Centennial High School. Aadiah plays basketball, just like her brother.
