Jim Courier Children
Jim Courier has two children with his wife, Susanna Lingman, a former tennis player. They have two sons, Kellan and Carson, together.
Courier and his wife were married in 2010. Like her husband, Susanna Lingman has her fair share of experience in tennis.
Their first son, Kellan Courier, was born in Orlando on December 19, 2015. When asked about his son, he expressed that the joy of fatherhood surpasses any grand slam win.
Jim and Susanna have been very secretive about both of their sons. As parents of young kids, they have chosen to keep their children away from social media and the public eye.
Talking about his children, Jim always shares the experience as one of the greatest moments in his life.
The former tennis champion wishes his sons to follow his path in tennis. However, he is laid back and does not want to force it on them.
There is a strong possibility for their sons to pursue sports, especially tennis, due to their parents’ success in the sport.
