Courtney "Coco" Yachanin was born in 1991 in Jupiter, Florida. Her parents are Monica Merchant and Skip Yachanin, with her mother divorcing Skip when she was young. Her mother has since remarried and the family has moved to Richmond, Virginia. Coco attends Deep Run High School and is an active member of the school. Coco's entire family is talented. She has a fraternal twin, Alexander Yachanin, a noted musician specializing in the clarinet.

Coco has been noted by many to be a teenage prodigy in the dancing industry, performing in many ballets and dance recitals in the Richmond area. She has performed in many notable theaters in Virginia, including the famed Landmark Theatre. Talent scouts have been checking Coco out in recent years, and she is a prospect to be a new dancer for the show Dancing with the Stars.

In her personal life, Coco has been known to date older men, but has an open view to all men. Coco and her mother, Monica, are not on good terms due to Coco's misbehavior in school. "The one thing," Coco says jokingly in an interview with the local FOXRichmond News, "that I have in common with my mom is our attractiveness."
