Who is Sheinelle Jones’ husband?
The same ingenuity that guided Jones’ career led to her quick thinking when she first spied on her future husband. “I was a fake tour guide,” she told Northwestern Magazine about the time she led the boy, then a high school senior, around the lakeside campus. Even though she was on her way to class.”I said I would take her with me because she was cute. ”
From there, they planned a decades-long journey. After eight years of dating and two false starts (she once thought he was proposing when he gave her a Tiffany box containing a bracelet, then revisited it during a trip to Cancun), the couple found themselves back at square one.
“We were on a trip to the Northwestern University campus, and it was raining outside, and he said, ‘Let’s go to this little place on the lake,'” Jones said in 2018. Jones was hesitant to get wet, but he persuaded her to let the rain fall, and got down on one knee.
She and the Nigerian-born consultant, managing partner of UAO Consulting and an avid triathlete, married in September 2007 in her hometown of Philadelphia, and gave birth to a son, Cain, in August 2009, and twins, Clara and Uche, in July 2012.
“All three of my kids, I try to show them that we’re all a team,” she told Today. “And they have to take care of each other.”
