After meeting again through all these years, they said their «I do’s» in 1997.
Considering they both studied drama in school, it’s no surprise that Courtney is also an actor, and he is also highly acclaimed. Early in his career, he focused mainly on stage acting, and even won a Tony Award in 2013 for «Best Featured Actor in a Play» in «Lucky Guy».
In addition to his stage work, Courtney has also appeared in a number of critically acclaimed films and TV shows, including «The Hunt for Red October». He has also won two Primetime Emmy Awards for his performances in the horror series «Lovecraft Country» and the crime biopic «The People v. O.J. Simpson», - where he played lawyer Johnnie Cochran.
After almost 10 years of marriage, the couple welcomed their children via a surrogate mother in 2006. They have a son named Slater and a daughter named Bronwyn, both 17 years old
