Although Amelia is best known in some quarters as the wife of Al, she is also a very famous individual in her own right. She attracted public attention thanks to her career as a former model, beauty queen, actress, singer, and writer. Beyond all she has achieved and her husband’s status, here is all there is to know about her.<\/span><\/p>\n Amelia Vega is currently 39 <\/span>years old. She was born Amelia Vega Polanco on 7 November 1984 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She is of Dominican nationality and Anglo-Cuban, Lebanese ethnicity.<\/p>\n Amelia was raised in her home country by her parents, Otto Vega and Patricia Victoria Polanco \u00c1lvarez. She grew up in a very stable home, although she has never revealed if she has any siblings.<\/p>\n There has also been no details about her early educational pursuits, but it is known that she later attended and graduated from Barbizon Modeling and Acting School in Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n Blessed with beauty and grace, Amelia got the chance to start her career as a model when she was very young. By the time she was 18 in 2002, she got into a beauty pageantry and ended up being crowned Miss Santiago 2002.<\/p>\n She was also crowned Miss Dominican Republic in the same year, which qualified her to compete for the Miss Universe crown, which she clinched in 2003. The win was historic for her in more ways than one. First, she was the youngest woman to win the award in close to 10 years, as she was crowned when she was 18. Secondly and most importantly, she was the first to be crowned Miss Universe from her country.<\/p>\n Apart from her modeling and pageantry career, Amelia Vega is also a musician and actress. She started music when she was only 15, with the release of her first single, “Pasa Un Segundito,” which was also successful.<\/p>\n Following the success of her first track, she released her first album, “Agua Dulce,” in 2011. She has got the chance to perform together with some great artists, including Marc Anthony, in countries such as Panama, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico. Even though she has not revealed if she’s retired, she has not been very active in the music scene for a while now.<\/p>\n Amelia began acting long before she got into music. Her first known roles on screen was her portrayal of Minerva Eros in the 2005 film The Lost City, and then she played the role of Chanice in Homie Spumoni in 2006. In the same year, she also appeared in Aventura’s music video, Mi corazoncito.<\/p>\n It is not clear if she has retired from acting, as she has not said anything to that effect, even though she has been inactive for a long time.<\/p>\n Amelia’s husband is Al Horford, who was born Alfred Joel Horford Reynoso on June 3, 1986, which means he is now 37 <\/span>years old. Like the former beauty queen, Al was born in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n He was born to Arelis Reynoso and Tito Horford. His father, Tito, was also a basketball player who spent some time in the NBA. He spent the early part of his life the Dominican Republic before his family moved to the United States. There, he attended Lansing, Michigan’s Grand Ledge High School, where he played basketball.<\/p>\n After his graduation from high school, he moved to the University of Florida, and remained there until the 2007 NBA Draft, where he was selected with the 3rd overall pick by the Atlanta Hawks. Amelia Vega’s husband was with the Hawks until 2016 when he joined Boston Cetics for the next three years.<\/p>\n In 2019, the 5-time NBA all-star joined the Philadelphia 76ers.
