Jim Nantz will be calling the NCAA Final Four for the last time this weekend in Houston after 32 years on the broadcast. The 63-year-old has been one of the most sought-after sports commentators in the USA.

With the spotlight now on Nantz, fans have been curious to learn more about his personal life and especially about his wife, Courtney Richards.

Courtney was the Vice President at IMG, a talent management company based in New York. Interestingly, Nantz was represented by the company and that's how the two first met.

However, at the time, Nantz was going through a rough phase in his life. The announcer finalized his divorce from his first wife, Ann-Lorraine Carlsen Nantz, in November 2009.

Jim Nantz reportedly had to pay Ann-Loraine nearly $1 million per year in alimony and child support for their daughter, Caroline. His first marriage lasted 26 years.

Nonetheless, the CBS announcer was able to find love again with Courtney. Nantz began dating the IMG VP soon after their first meeting and got engaged on September 14, 2010, while on vacation in Maine.

The couple married in June 2012 at Pebble Beach in California. They have two children together, Cathleen, born in 2014 and George, born in 2016.
