Ananda Matthew Everingham is the son of an Australian father, Bangkok-based photojournalist John Everingham, and a Lao mother, Keo Sirisomphone. His parents' story was loosely dramatized in the 1983 NBC television movie, Love Is Forever, starring Michael Landon and Laura Gemser, which tells of a photojournalist who scuba dives under the Mekong River to rescue his lover from communist ruled Laos in 1977. It was this movie that in 1983 also led to the senior Everingham mentoring Cork Graham, who was soon imprisoned for 11 months in Vietnam for trespassing while looking for treasure buried by Captain Kidd. His parents divorced in 1997. John remarried a Chinese woman. Ananda has two half brothers, Chester Jay Everingham and Zenith Lee Everingham.
