Angela Unkrich Had No Idea Who Alfonso Ribeiro Was When They Met - All We Know about the Actor's Wife

Angela Unkrich, Alfonso Ribeiro's wife, had never wanted to date anyone from Hollywood until she met the actor. She reflected on their early days together and how her cluelessness about her future husband's career played into their relationship.

Angela Unkrich is a proud wife of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" actor and "Dancing with the Stars" host Alfonso Ribeiro. The couple, who have three children, paid sweet tributes on Instagram for their recent wedding anniversary.

Angela considers herself fortunate to have a long-lasting marriage with her husband, even though others have doubted their unconventional relationship. Despite it all, she continues to express her love for him.

Who Is Angela Unkrich, Alfonso Ribeiro's Wife?

Angela Unkrich is an actress known for the film "Para Verônica" (For Her) and for her appearances in the television shows "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" and "Celebrity Family Feud."

She grew up on a hog and cattle farm in Midtown, Iowa, where sports were a big part of her life. She participated in sports like springboard diving, basketball, softball, volleyball, track and field, and gymnastics.

Angela earned a scholarship to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, because she was good at springboard diving. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies.

After college, she moved to Los Angeles, California, where she found various job opportunities. She intended to stay in Los Angeles for a few years before enrolling in a graduate school, but she ended up staying for over a decade.

Angela got a job offer to be a stunt professional in Los Angeles because she had vast experience with gymnastics and diving. She later worked as an assistant to a screenwriter and as a diving coach.

She worked as a private jet flight attendant and visited 85 countries. The talented actress fell in love with travel and now remembers each trip by doing handstand poses at each breathtaking destination she traveled to.

Angela discovered that, in addition to being a travel enthusiast, she also found a great passion for cooking, doing do-it-yourself projects, playing golf, staying fit, and spending quality time with her family.

When Did Angela Unkrich and Alfonso Ribeiro Get Together?

Angela had no idea who Alfonso was when she met him in a hotel in Beverley Hills. In an interview with Yahoo! Life in 2018, the talented actress said she had once called him her "stalker."

She remembered that Alfonso told her he was a director. She had no idea he was famous in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" series. Alfonso was iconic for portraying Carlton Banks, opposite actor Will Smith's character of the same name.

Angela had previously stated her disinterest in dating anyone in the entertainment industry. On the other hand, Alfonso pursued her and made it his mission to change her mind about dating celebrities.

Alfonso made three moves to persuade her to date him, which eventually happened. During their date, Angela had prepared a reason to cut short the occasion, but she realized she wanted to stick around with him. She said:

"I don't think it was more than 10 minutes that went by, and I was like, huh, he's different than I thought."

On the other hand, Alfonso had not expected their date to last any longer since he found nothing in common with Angela. He knew she was the one, but he needed time to put his life back together after his divorce from his first marriage.

Things worked out well for Alfonso and Angela, whom he referred to as his "soulmate." The couple tied the knot in October 2012 in a beautiful sunset wedding ceremony in Burbank, California.

Alfonso, who comes from the Black community, explained in an interview with the 2021 Atlanta Black Star that he still receives comments about his unique relationship with Angela, a White woman.

He claimed he had "support from almost no one." However, Alfonso, born in the Bronx, New York, said he enjoys living in a mixed world despite the attention their interracial marriage draws. He said:

"I live in a mixed world. I love in a mixed world. I live in a Black world, and I love in that world. I feel everyone should be supported."

The power couple grows stronger each year. Angela just recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of their wedding by posting a stunning photo of their special day to Instagram.

In a heartfelt message, Alfonso thanked his wife for turning him into the "happiest man in the world." He beamed with satisfaction over the incredible life they had built together.

Alfonso and his wife have prioritized parenting and are excellently raising their kids.

How Many Kids Do Angela Unkrich and Alfonso Ribeiro Have?

Angela and Alfonso share three adorable children: sons Alfonso Jr., Anders Reyn, and daughter Ava Sue. Alfonso Jr., who goes by the nickname "A.J," was born in 2013, Anders in 2017, and Ava in 2019.

Alfonso has three kids with Angela, and he also has a daughter named Sienna, who was born in 2003 to his ex-wife Robin Staples. Sienna, according to Alfonso, has left for college to further her education.

The doting dad said Sienna has auditioned and worked her way through Hollywood. Aware that she is following in his footsteps in Hollywood, Alfonso said he is "hands off" in her journey in show business.

Alfonso and Angela Unkrich have prioritized parenting and are excellently raising their kids. Rather than confining their kids in a classroom, they would take them on trips whenever possible.

Meanwhile, Angela stated that having children is one of "God's greatest gifts" in her life. She described it as the most demanding, challenging, and rewarding job she had ever had, and she felt fortunate to be a mother.
