Early Life
Courtney was born in Tacoma, Washington, and raised in Ocean Shores alongside two older sisters, Ashley and Brittany. Their childhood was described as happy but marred by school bullying, prompting a switch to homeschooling. At a young age, Courtney pursued modeling and beauty pageants, winning Miss Teen Washington USA in 2010.
By age 15, they hosted a local TV show and released music singles like “Car Candy.” Their life changed dramatically in 2010 when they joined an acting class taught by Doug Hutchison — a meeting that would lead to their infamous marriage the following year.
