NBA star Al Horford's long wait for a title is over - and his wife Amelia Vega couldn't be happier. The Boston Celtics center, 38, won the first ring of his near two-decade NBA career on Monday night. Horford was on the court for 32 minutes and secured 9 rebounds as the Celtics wrapped up a 4-1 NBA Finals win over the Dallas Mavericks.
The 6-foot-9 star has been married to former Miss Universe beauty Vega since 2011. Amelia couldn't wait to celebrate Horford's long-awaited title alongside their five children. Vega uploaded a short video to her 1.
5 million Instagram followers with the kids showing off their Celtics jerseys. Decked out in green, eldest son Ean held up a Dominican Republic flag as the children ran away from the camera in the adorable clip. "To GOD be the glory and honor! Congratulations my champion," Amelia captioned the video on Instagram.
"The first Dominican to win an NBA championship is married to the first and only Dominican Miss Universe. Both are the pride of Quisqueya," wrote one fan in response. "Congratulations Horford Family! I’m so happy for you!!" said another.
"This is beyond cute," wrote a third. Both Horford and Vega hail from the Dominican Republic. Amelia, 39, is a model , actress, and singer and was crowned winner of the Miss Universe pageant in 2003.
She was the first-ever winner from the Dominican Republic and is also the tallest in history, standing 6-foot-2. The pair married in 2011, with Horford playing for the Atlanta Hawks, the Philad.
