Kourtney was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on October 9, 1995, to parents, Jose Manuel Garcia and Vanessa Marie Seymore. After moving to the DFW area in 1996, Kourtney attended Grapevine-Colleyville ISD schools. Coached by her parents in soccer, softball, and cheerleading, Kourtney enjoyed being part of a team.
