Life in the Gauff household is full of energy, humor, and just the right amount of sibling chaos. Coco Gauff, the 21-year-old tennis star, might be making waves on the court, but at home, she’s simply the eldest of three trying to keep up with her two younger brothers—Codey and Cameron.
Codey, the middle sibling, is a baseball fanatic, while the youngest, Cameron, dabbles in both football and tennis. Despite their different interests, the bond between the trio is unshakable—built on inside jokes, playful teasing, and unwavering loyalty.
That familial support is crucial, especially for someone juggling Grand Slam pressure with global fashion campaigns. Gauff recently collaborated with New Balance and Miu Miu—yes, the iconic luxury label led by Miuccia Prada—on a project that fuses performance wear with high fashion. While Coco poured her heart into the collection, it’s her family that helps keep her grounded.
In an interview with Vogue, she opened up:
“My brothers, Codey and Cameron, are definitely my biggest support, and they always root for me. And humble me. When I do well, they’re still going to make fun of me. And when I do bad, they’re still going to make fun of me.”
That unique blend of encouragement and humor helps her manage the mental pressure of professional tennis.
“Sometimes, when you’re competing, you feel like you’re putting your whole life into whatever match you’re playing and that the odds are life or death… But obviously, it’s not. Having people like them around makes you feel that pressure less.”
Sibling Shenanigans
Coco’s Instagram offers a front-row seat to her sibling dynamics. One fan-favorite moment? When Codey and Cameron accidentally twinned in all-black outfits, leading to a hilarious debate.
Codey joked, “It’s like comparing a Toyota to a Ferrari,” to which Cameron immediately protested being the Toyota. Coco chimed in with the perfect caption:
“They accidentally matched again 😭”
Another viral moment came when she caught Codey wearing her long-lost hoodie—months after she’d stopped searching.
“He stole my hoodie but go like his photo or whatever,” she captioned the picture.
“My hoodie was missing for months and he just pops on the ‘gram with it.”
A Foundation of Faith
Another powerful grounding force in Gauff’s life? Her faith.
The Delray Beach native has always been vocal about her spirituality. Raised in the church, she still finds comfort in worship music and Bible readings. This spiritual practice isn’t new—back in a 2019 interview with The New York Times, she revealed:
“Before every match since I was 8, my dad and I say a prayer together. We don’t pray about victory—just that me and my opponent stay safe. After the match, I just thank God for the opportunity.”
That sense of gratitude remains strong. In her Vogue interview, she shared:
“Sometimes you feel like your whole identity is tied to your results. But the more I focus on faith, the more I realize I’m much more than my sport.”
She added, “If I don’t win another tennis match ever again, I still have so much outside of it to look forward to.”
Looking Ahead: Madrid Open
Despite her strong support system and spiritual clarity, Coco Gauff is currently navigating a bumpy stretch on tour. She holds a 14-6 record for the season, with only five wins in the past three months.
She’s now hoping to reset at the Madrid Open, making her fifth appearance at the event. Her best performance so far? Round-of-16 finishes in 2022 and 2024.
This year, her campaign kicks off in the second round against Dayana Yastremska. Win or lose, Coco’s already shown she’s winning at life—with heart, humor, and her brothers by her side.
