Biography

A. J. Langer was born in Columbus, Ohio, daughter of Deana, an audiologist who owned a hearing aid distribution company, and Gary Langer, who worked in sales for a wholesale fashion distributor. She moved to the San Fernando Valley with her family at age five, and began using her initials to join an all-boys baseball team three years later. She has one older brother, Kirk.

Langer married attorney Charles Courtenay, Lord Courtenay, the son of the Hugh Courtenay, 18th Earl of Devon, in a civil ceremony in 2004. A formal wedding took place on April 30, 2005, in Los Angeles, California. Until the death of her father-in-law, Langer held the courtesy title of "Lady Courtenay". Following his death, and upon her husband's assumption of the title "19th Earl of Devon", she assumed the title of "Countess of Devon". In January 2014, Langer and Courtenay permanently relocated their family to London, and to the family seat at Powderham Castle in May 2015. The couple have two children, a daughter and a son:


Lady Joscelyn Skye Courtenay (born January 31, 2007)
Jack Haydon Langer Courtenay, Lord Courtenay (born August 2009).
In her spare time, Langer raises awareness and money for the research and treatment of fibromyalgia, from which she herself suffers.
