The entire Gauff family is associated with the sporting world, with Coco being one of the top names in tennis, her brother, Codey, pursuing excellence in baseball, and their youngest brother, Cameron, also interested in multiple sports, including basketball, tennis, etc. Along with this, their father, Corey, was his daughter's coach until the beginning of 2024.

Coco Gauff opens up about how her brothers have helped her in life

Coco Gauff sat for an interview with Vogue in April 2025, where she opened up about her relationship with her younger brothers, Codey and Cameron Gauff. She revealed that they are her biggest supporters and always cheer for her. Along with this, she said that they also jokingly make fun of her when she does badly in a match, which makes her feel less pressured.

"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," Coco Gauff said.

Revealing how they make her feel less pressured, she said:

"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, that’s what’s on the line. But obviously, it’s not. Having people like them around makes you feel that pressure less."

Ahead of competing at Wimbledon, Coco Gauff won her second Grand Slam title at the French Open after besting Aryna Sabalenka. She won her first one at the 2023 US Open.
