Kerri Browitt Caviezel may not be a household name like her famous husband, actor Jim Caviezel, but she has an equally interesting story. Growing up in Washington state, Kerri was one of four children of David James Browitt and Jean Vandetta Browitt. She has two brothers, David and Jim, and a sister named Kristen.
Meeting Jim Caviezel
In 1993, Kerri met Jim Caviezel on a blind date arranged by her sister. They dated for three years before tying the knot in 1996 at Immaculate Conception Church in Washington. The devout Catholic couple adopted three children from China – David, Bo, and Lyn.

“Having a loving family and raising children has always been my priority over fame or fortune,” Kerri once said. “Jim and I wanted to provide a home for children in need.”
Standout College Basketball Career
Prior to marrying Jim, Kerri had a successful college basketball career at Western Washington University. She was a standout player for the WWU women’s basketball team. Her talent and achievements on the court were so impressive that in 2015, Kerri was inducted into the Western Washington University Athletics Hall of Fame.
“I loved playing basketball in college. It taught me so much about discipline, teamwork and pushing yourself to be your best,” Kerri said at her Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Becoming a High School Teacher
After graduating from WWU, Kerri decided to become a high school teacher. She has thrived in her career educating and working with teenagers for over two decades now. Even with a celebrity husband, Kerri prefers to live a quiet, private life focused on her family and career.
Staying Out of the Spotlight
“I’m just a regular person who feels blessed to have a wonderful family,” Kerri explained. “I don’t need or want the spotlight.”
While Jim Caviezel became an acclaimed actor known for roles in films like “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Thin Red Line” and “The Count of Monte Cristo,” Kerri has always remained firmly rooted in her own low-key interests and priorities.
Jim frequently praises his wife’s calm, grounded nature and credits her for providing a stable home life for their family. Despite Jim’s fame, the couple has maintained a strong, lasting marriage for over 25 years.
