Dancing with the Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro’s sweet love story with wife Angela Unkrich
The actor was instantly smitten with Angela
Alfonso Ribeiro, the host of Dancing with the Stars, has made a return for season 32, and his wife, Angela Unkrich, is undoubtedly his most enthusiastic supporter. Angela, a blogger set to celebrate her 11th wedding anniversary with Alfonso in October, recently revealed her glamorous look as she geared up to cheer on her husband for the season premiere on Tuesday night. She shared a stunning photo on her social media with the caption: “Ready to watch some dancing @dancingwiththestars season premiere.
Alfonso and Angela’s love story began when they crossed paths at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills in 2011, shortly after his divorce from Robin Stapler. Alfonso was instantly captivated by Angela, despite his fame from his iconic role as Carlton in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Angela, however, was initially unaware of his celebrity status. In her words, “I didn’t know who he was at the time.” She explained that he introduced himself as a director, and she was initially hesitant about dating someone in the entertainment industry.
Alfonso, determined to win Angela’s heart, made persistent efforts to change her mind. After taking her on a dinner date, Angela began to see a different side of him, saying, “I don’t think it was more than 10 minutes that went by, and I was like, huh, he’s different than I thought.”
Their love story culminated in a wedding ceremony held a year after their first meeting, at the Lakeside Golf Club in Burbank, California. Angela looked radiant in a Rivini mermaid-style gown and Judith Ripka Brides jewels, while Alfonso was dashing in a classic black tuxedo. They both expressed their joy and happiness on social media following the wedding.
As of October 2022, Alfonso and Angela celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, with Alfonso expressing his deep love and appreciation for his wife on Instagram. They’ve built a remarkable life together, raising three beautiful children and achieving significant milestones in their respective careers.
In addition to their shared family, Angela became a stepmother to Alfonso’s daughter, Sienna, from his previous marriage to Robin Stapler. Together, Alfonso and Angela welcomed three more children: their eldest son, AJ, their younger son, Anders, and a baby girl named Ava Sue.
While discussing their parenting approach, Alfonso emphasized their shared commitment to discipline and hard work. He described himself as somewhat strict, believing that his success is a result of his dedication and discipline. Both Alfonso and Angela play different roles in parenting, adapting as needed to ensure their children’s well-being and development. Their journey as a blended family continues to thrive, marked by love, dedication, and a shared commitment to their children’s futures.
