It is pretty challenging to get out of your comfort zone and do something and make your own identity, despite being already privileged.
Luc Coulier is the son of the famous actor and stand-up comedian Dave Coulier; however, he didn’t want only that to be his identity.
He decided to go off on his own and become a pilot. In many ways, that was a bold and admirable move—to study hard and eventually fly planes for a living.
Wasn’t it easy for him to enjoy and spend the money that his father had earned working tirelessly? Of course, he could’ve done that.
But apparently, his upbringing was so grounded that he opted to create his own path without relying on his parents’ fame.
In this article, I will talk about the personal and professional life of Luc Coulier and his relationship with his parents, especially his father, Dave Coulier. Let’s begin, shall we?

Who Is Luc Coulier?
As stated earlier, Luc Coulier is the first and only child/son of Dave Coulier and Jayne Modean (his mother).
He was born on November 14, 1990, in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Even though his father is a successful and wealthy actor and comedian, Luc had no interest in Hollywood.
Surprisingly, Luc wanted to pursue higher education after graduating from high school. He was determined to fly planes one day.
Luc’s decision surprised many—including those close to him and the media. They were intrigued that the son of a successful actor didn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps.
Instead, he wanted to make a name of his own. In my opinion, had he entered Hollywood through his father’s contacts, he might’ve been labelled as another nepotism product in the industry.
Now, I don’t know if Luc had that “being-called-a-nepotism-product” fear in mind when he decided not to become an actor, but one can speculate, right?
Anyway, Luc Coulier’s zodiac sign is Scorpio, and he is of white-Caucasian ethnicity. As of April 2025, Luc is 34 years old.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation, Aeronautical Engineering, and Aircraft Operations. As of 2025, he still works as a pilot for SkyWest Airlines.
Luc’s Personal Life:
Luc is a pretty private person and prefers to keep things low-key. But here’s what we do know:
He has a fit, muscular build and stands at about 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm). His weight is estimated to be between 75 to 80 kg (165–176 pounds). He has blue eyes and brown hair.
Luc is engaged to Alex Cochran. They had been dating for several years before Luc finally proposed—and she said yes!
He posted about their engagement on March 2, 2020, via Facebook. In the caption, he mentioned that after five years together, he finally popped the question—and she accepted.
As of 2025, there has been no public announcement about their wedding date or whether they’ve had children. So, we’ll have to wait and see!
Coulier’s Professional Life:
As mentioned earlier, Luc wasn’t interested in acting, modeling, or comedy—despite being well-suited for showbiz.
Some reports suggest he attended Notre Dame High School in Los Angeles, where he developed an interest in aviation.
Fast forward to today, Luc Coulier is a professional pilot at SkyWest Airlines, fulfilling his childhood dream.
He’s proof that you don’t have to walk in someone else’s shadow—even if that someone is famous. His journey shows that passion-driven careers are still worth pursuing.
Sure, he may not have made as much money or achieved the same level of fame as he might have in Hollywood—but he chose purpose over popularity.
His Father, Dave Coulier:
As of 2025, Dave Coulier is 65 years old. His full name is David Alan Coulier, and he is widely recognized for his acting and comedy work.
He began his entertainment career in 1979, and it’s been over 45 years since he entered the industry. Dave celebrates his birthday on September 21.
He has been married twice. First to Jayne Modean in 1990 (Luc was born the same year), but they divorced two years later in 1992.
Dave also dated Alanis Morissette, the famous Canadian singer, but that relationship ended.
In 2014, Dave married Melissa Bring Coulier, and as of 2025, they’ve been together for 11 years. Dave and Melissa do not have any children together.
Luc’s Mother, Jayne Modean:
Luc’s mother, Jayne Modean, is a former supermodel and actress. She began her modeling and acting career in the 1970s.
After marrying Dave Coulier in 1990, she left the entertainment industry—likely to focus on raising Luc.
There are no confirmed reports of whether Jayne remarried or returned to Hollywood. She was born in Clifton, New Jersey, USA.
