Angel Brinks Always Knew She Wanted to Be in the Fashion Business

Angel Brinks, age 36, was born on October 19, 1982. She was born and raised in Los Angeles and comes from a strict Armenian home where her parents wanted her to be either a doctor or a lawyer and school was of utmost importance.

She says that she discovered her creative side early, and knew that she wanted to do something along those lines later in life.

As a kid, she took up dancing lessons and was in choir, too. She would sneak out to her take her dance classes, because she didn’t want her mother to know that she was around boys.

And it was during this time that she realized fashion and clothing was her calling.

She was a backup dancer for Jennifer Lopez, and looking at all the creative outfits and costumes inspired her to do something on her own.

Angel Brinks Designs for Some of the Biggest Names Today

From Trina and Cardi B to Blac Chyna and Amber Rose, Angel is the woman behind some of the most eye-catching outfits today!

She launched her line of clothing, giving the brand her own name, in 2010. Leggings were all the rage back then, and she knew that she could do something very different with them. So, she started with just designing leggings.

She took them to the next level by adding sequins to them, dipping them in glitter, and changing the way they were worn.

It was a huge hit, and customers came looking for matching tops to go with the bottoms!

She slowly got into designing bodysuits, and before you knew it, Nicki Minaj was wearing her creations, too.

Brinks’ Ex-Husband Committed Suicide

Angel has two children, both from different men. Her son, Azari, was born to her and her ex-husband, whose name is still a secret. Angel said that she was nine months pregnant with Azari when her ex-husband took his own life.

The reason for his suicide is unknown, and Angel doesn’t like talking about it, either.

But there are reports claiming that he took his life after an argument he’d had with Angel.

She said that she couldn’t enjoy her pregnancy and the birth of her first child like most people, but she worried mostly for her child, who was going to have to grow up without a father.

Azari is now 10 years old, and though he has a half-sister, Amani, who was born to NBA player Tyreke Evans, he doesn’t really think of him as a father figure.

Her Friend Draya Introduced Her to Basketball Wives: LA

Angel is good friends with co-star Draya Michele, and it was the latter who suggested that she come on the show as a guest appearance.

Angel got the call, even though the season had already begun shooting, and she was selected for it.

Eventually, she also got the offer to join the cast, which she did, and it has been one of her biggest successes yet.
