The 19th Earl of Devon was educated at Eton College. After obtaining an MA degree from St John's College, Cambridge, in 2001, he followed his legal studies at the Inns of Court School of Law. Courtenay was admitted to the bar at Inner Temple in 1999. He married American actress A. J. Langer in a civil ceremony in 2004. A formal wedding later took place on 30 April 2005, in Los Angeles. With his father's death, the former Lord Courtenay acceded to his father's peerage and estate.

The Earl of Devon and the Countess of Devon have two children, both born in Los Angeles:

  • Lady Joscelyn Skye Courtenay (born 31 January 2007)
  • Jack Haydon Langer Courtenay, Lord Courtenay (born 16 August 2009)
  • Courtenay has practised law with the Los Angeles, California, office of Latham & Watkins since 2005. In January 2014, he permanently relocated his family to London and transferred to his firm's London office. He and his family now reside at the family's ancestral home of Powderham Castle in Devon, England.
