During a press conference before participating in the Qatar Open, Coco shared a glimpse of her family life. “I’m the oldest of three siblings. Maybe that has something to play with it. I don’t know. I feel like I have learned a lot quickly.”
Codey is known to be a baseball player, showing his passion for the sport on social media. Meanwhile, her younger sibling Cameron has also been an important part of her career, as he helped her design her latest sneaker collaboration with New Balance, named ‘COCO CGI.’
