Al Horford and Amelia Vega
Philadelphia 76ers star Al Horford is married to Amelia Vega, who won the title of Miss Universe in 2003. Vega is a multi-talented individual hailing from the Dominican Republic, excelling in various fields such as acting, writing, singing, and modeling. Her Miss Universe win made her the first Dominican Republic national to achieve the title, bringing great honor to her country.
The NBA star and the model make an ideal couple, with perhaps their height being a contributing factor. Vega, standing tall at 1.88 meters (6.2 feet), holds the record for being the tallest Miss Universe winner. However, Vega could have been a basketball player herself in another lifetime! The couple tied the knot in 2011, and it’s fascinating to ponder how tall they might become as they grow up.
