Beneath the glamour and beautiful face of Angel brinks lies a woman who has endured and accomplished so much yet she is only 32. She is a single mother, and successful fashion designer determined to give the best life to her two children. Besides being drop-dead gorgeous, we have learnt some interesting facts on Earn the Necklace, which we have rounded up below.
1. Her husband committed suicide
Growing up without a father is not the wish of any parent upon her children, but sometimes, we cannot control the actions of others no matter how hard we try. According to Live Ramp Up, Angel and her then-husband argued, and he decided to end his life after that. At the time, Angel was nine months pregnant with her son, Azari, who she has had to raise on her own since she is yet to get married again.
2. She dated Tyreke Evans
For a long time, many people have been against women dating younger men, but it seems such opinions do not deter the likes of Madonna and Demi Moore from falling in love with men who are nearly half their age. Angel Brinks does not seem to mind too because she dated Tyreke Evans, who is seven years her junior and they had a daughter together, Amani. Despite breaking up, Angel took a while to get over Tyreke even telling her mother that given a chance, she would go back to him in a heartbeat although Angel’s mother discouraged her saying he is neither a good father nor husband.
3. She had an interest in dance and music as a child
Angel was born on October 19, 1982, and three years later, she already was practicing ballet. Ballet could have sparked her interest in dance later on, but it still got her involved in music. Angel then began singing in the choir, and although she never pursued a career in music, her dance moves came in handy when she allegedly worked as a stripper in Las Vegas.
4. She has always been a fashionista
There is no denying that Angel is a beautiful woman, but besides her looks, she has always been passionate about fashion. According to Celebsolino, she was always covered in glamour in her younger years, and when she went to college, her passion never died. Instead, she began working so she could have enough money to not only cater to her needs but have some left over to buy clothes and transform them into something entirely new.
5. She established her fashion company in 2010
Already seeing that she was gifted in fashion, Angel began designing leggings in 2010 which were the in-thing at the time. She added sequins, dipped them in glitter and changed the way they were worn. So much were the leggings a hit that she established Angel Brinks Fashion. Customers were so impressed with her products that they wanted matching tops, and that is when Angel decided to expand her products to make bodysuits, tops and other clothing. Trina became her first celebrity client, and as they say, the rest is history.
6. She has dressed celebrities
It is one thing to be an entrepreneur, but it is another to be so good at what you do, that people come looking for your product. Celebrities are always on the lookout for something unique and creative for them to turn heads on the red carpet and Angel seems to have perfected her designing skills. So far, she has been able to dress Blac Chyna, Nicki Minaj, Mel B, Ashanti, Cardi B among others. Perhaps the fact that she hosts her annual fashion show during the BET Awards weekend where celebrities are sure to catch a glimpse of her fashion talent has enabled her to create a celebrity client list.
7. She was Jennifer Lopez’s back up dancer
We are impressed with the dance moves our idols and their dancers show off, but what most people do not know is that it takes a lot of work to be part of the dance team. Angel’s dance classes must have paid off because she ended up being a backup dancer for Jennifer Lopez. Besides, since celebrities usually hold auditions to select their dancers, Angel’s dancing skills must be top-notch for her to have beaten other dancers.
8. She is rumored to have been an escort
What happened to “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?” because Meghan James seems to not care about this much-needed discretion as revealed on Starcasm. Meghan posted on her Instagram that Angel Brinks was an escort when she lived in Las Vegas and only stopped because she moved to Los Angeles to be on “Basketball Wives LA.” Meghan even claimed that Angel’s ex-husband was her pimp and that Angel had to change her names several times to prevent people from tracing her past.
9. Her parents wanted her to get a “serious” profession
It is the dream of every parent to see their child succeed, and that is what Angel’s parents wanted for their daughter. Angel grew up in a strict Armenian home, and when she went dancing, she had to sneak because her parents did not want her around boys. To them, her studies were what Angel needed to concentrate on so she could be a lawyer or doctor.
10. She is dating Jackie Long
Angel may have taken a while to heal her broken heart, but she has given love a chance again this time with a man closer to her age, Jackie Long. The Jasmine Brand reveals snapshots of Angel Brink’s Instagram in which the two exchange lovely messages that have us concluding that they are an item now. When someone says they want to better a man in every a woman can, we can safely assume that Angel is willing to be his better half too.
