Quinton Jones’ marriage to South Africa’s sweetheart, Minnie Dlamini was one of the biggest events of 2017. The news also broke so many hearts all over the country – both gents and ladies alike. Jones, who was a former football cornerback, completed his football career in the National Football League (NFL) and Canadian Football League (CFL), with the San Diego Chargers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, respectively. Minnie Dlamini, on the other hand, is a well-known actress, model, radio, and television personality, and so a marriage between the two was bound to send tongues wagging.<\/p>\n

The duo had served us some couple goals since walking down the aisle in what has since gone down as a fanfare wedding, with a docu-series that had a history-making viewership. They welcomed their baby boy in November 2020, and family life just seems to be growing on them. But where did it all begin for the celebrity duo?<\/p>\n

Quinton Jones and Minnie Dlamini Started As Friends After they Met At Urban Brew Studios<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Quinton Jones began his work life as an athlete. He played as a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL) for the San Diego Chargers, and in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for the Saskatchewan Roughriders between 2007 and 2008. Truth be told, his adventure with football was not a very successful one, and so he retired as an athlete to pick up a job in showbiz.<\/p>\n

He joined Urban Brew Studios and that was where he met his wife, Minnie Dlamini, in 2010. They worked at the firm together, and even though Minnie was a junior colleague, they became friends. So close was their friendship that they would hang out together; at the time, both parties never thought their friendship would go beyond what it was. More so, Quinton and Minnie were dating other people at the time, and it helped in keeping their emotions at bay and also strengthen their bond as friends.<\/p>\n

Their friendship grew and they became so close to each other that when they became single in 2015, having left their respective partners, Quinton quickly suggested they should start a relationship<\/a>. Minnie, however, would have none of it as she thought it was weird, being colleagues. When she eventually yielded to his proposal, they continued in an unofficial capacity for a year before the relationship became official.<\/p>\n

Their Traditional and White Wedding Ceremonies Was A Fanfare<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The couple would go on to tie the nuptial nuts, first traditionally – on July 8, 2017 – and then the white wedding held two months later, on September 16. Those events will be forever etched into the folklore of South African entertainment history as the biggest event of 2017. Both ceremonies were purely fun fair! The traditional wedding was held at the bride’s home at Glenn Hills in Northern Durban, KwaZulu Natal, and it was attended by the cr\u00e8me\u00a0de\u00a0la cr\u00e8me<\/a>\u00a0of SA’s entertainment industry.<\/p>\n
