Courtney Eaton was born on January 6, 1996, in Bunbury, Western Australia. Her father, Stephen Eaton, works as an IT manager. She has English ancestry from her father’s side while Chinese, Maori, and Cook Island Maori from her mother’s.

While attending a fashion graduation at school, she was spotted by Christine Fox, the head of Vivien’s Models, one of the biggest modelling agencies in Australia. She wanted to sign Courtney for her agency, but her father did not approve initially, as Courtney was too young at that time.
Upon learning that Courtney will begin modelling only after she turns 16, he gave the permission. Until then, she was nurtured by ‘Vivien’s Models’ to become a super model.
The agency’s model nurturing program also included training in acting, as acting in commercial advertisements came with modelling. As a result of the training, she began taking interest in acting apart from the regular modelling work, and began auditioning for acting offers.
