Early life, family
Corey Rose Stameisen was born on 4 August 1985, in Lancaster, Southern California USA, where she spent most of her childhood. Her ancestors and many members of the family came to New York, USA from Hamburg, Germany, in 1921. Corey was eager to find out more about her ancestors and did a DNA test, sharing the results with her followers. The results claimed she was 47% European Jewish, 29% Eastern European and 13% Western European. Many of Corey’s ancestors came from countries like Poland, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Named after a bodybuilder Corinna “Cory” Everson, she hated the name when she was a child since she thought it was a name for a boy, but came to love her name when she discovered how famous and hard-working Corinna Everson was.
Corey’s mother, Vicki S. Medina, is the general manager of various radio stations in Southern California; she advised Corey to never get involved in the radio business, so she got into the TV business instead! Her father was a firefighter. Corey has a brother who is a professional freestyle skier. Growing up, Corey wanted to become an astronaut, but gave up that idea when she found out that a lot of Math was involved.
Education
Corey attended Quartz Hill High School from which she matriculated in 2003, then entered the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. She once shared she took 21 units while at her senior year, and had to work 40 hours a week. Though it was a hard experience, she graduated Cum Laude with a GPA of 3.8, obtaining a BA in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Health and Physical Education.
Career
Corey remembered herself dancing since she was five years old, and cheerleading since she was only nine, so she got her first job when she was 15, as a cheerleader and a dancer for the Southern California baseball team “The Jethawks” (minor league). She really loved that job, and worked there for three season.
After her college graduation, she was offered a job in Studio City, California in the position of a Production Assistant, joining the KCBS/KCAL team. She was very soon promoted to the Assignment Desk, but then went to work in Casper, Wyoming for more than two years in the position of an anchor, assistant news director and producer.

Murrow Award in the category “Best Sports-News Story”.
Personal life, husband Josh Cavan, son Christian Samuel
Corey dated MMA fighter Josh Cavan for some time, attending every fight of her boyfriend, sitting right in front of the cage which was apparently very scary. After several years Josh took her back to the site of their first date – Skyline Park – where he romantically proposed to her. The engagement ring was passed to Corey from her grandmother and is a true heirloom. Josh and Corey married in 2014.
In September 2018, Corey was brave enough to finally announce she was expecting a baby – she hid the fact of her pregnancy since she had two miscarriages in early pregnancies before, and didn’t want to make any announcements before she was sure that both her and the baby were alright. In October 2018 Corey and Josh had a big gender-announcement party where all the family found out Corey and Josh were expecting a boy. Corey posted some photos from the party on her Instagram account, exposing the happy face of her husband who was more than satisfied with the baby’s gender. On 10 February 2019 Corey gave birth to her firstborn son, who was named Christian Samuel Cavan. Corey shared her labor experience in her blog at Tumblr.
Hobbies and interests
When Corey has spare time she loves reading books, and working out, keeping fit after her pregnancy. She once shared that she was an avid skier, taking ski classes since she was three years old. She also taught many of her friends how to ski. She also loves CrossFit, is a passionate juggler, a skill she got while studying in her middle school, and practiced at her PE classes – she once said she could juggle almost anything but knives and other sharp things that can hurt her. As a dance lover and an experienced cheerleader, she had a chance to appear in two music videos and one fitness commercial while she tried herself in the modelling and acting fields in Southern California, but hasn’t revealed the titles of the videos.
Among her favorite music bands are the Eagles and Def Leppard, since she is a dedicated classic rock fan. She vividly remembers the first concert her father took her to when she turned 11 – The Beach Boys – which memory she cherishes now that her father is gone. She also loves country music.
Beside listed passions, Corey enjoys cooking, traveling and everything related to outdoor activities and adventures.
Charity
Corey is a long-term host at the annual benefit concert which is sponsored by 9NEWS, held in honor of Corey’s father who died in 2010 suffering from Leukemia. Corey does everything she can to raise enough money to help other people and especially kids fighting Leukemia, being involved in multiple charity funds, such as Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She is happy to use her name, fame and opportunities to support the foundations and to bring hope to other people’s lives.
