Amelia Vega — Al Horford
Amelia is also another beauty who fought in a pageant. She was only 18 years old when she won the Miss Dominican Republic. She represented her country in 2003. Vega was the first candidate to bag the crown for the Dominican Republic. To add to her win, she won the competition at 18, making her the youngest winner since 1994; plus, she’s the tallest Miss Universe winner ever at 6-foot-1! She moved to New York City after winning the crown as part of her prize package. Horford and Vega met in Boston during the Latin Pride Awards. The two didn’t start dating until four years after their first encounter. On December 24, 2011, at a surprise wedding disguised as a regular party, the couple was married at Vega’s uncle’s home in the Dominican Republic. Vega is also inclined in fashion, and she can also sing. The former Miss Universe owns two boutiques called “Essence by Amelia Vega” in Miami. Her album “Agua Dulce” was released in 2011. Vega and Horford have been blessed with three young ones whom we believe will take after their parents’ beauty, brains, and height.
