Amal for those who might not know her, is the tall, very exotic looking and stunner daughter of former football star, John Fashanu of England and Nigeria. In fact the statuesque and gorgeous young lady was a former model, something she enjoyed so much for quite a bit. Her exotic gorgeousness comes from the fact that her dad is a British - Nigerian and her mum is Spanish, she was born in London one of the most famous fashion capitals of the world. So now you know where that stunning looks came from. She lived in Madrid the home of football giant Real Madrid for 12 good years and shuttles between the UK and her 2nd home, Madrid. Spain is one of the most famous, emerging fashion powerhouses of the world.
She embraced modeling on the part-time basis, while still at the University, as she attended the Brunel University London, a highly regarded University that was founded in 1966. She has a degree in Communications and Media studies for her effort. After school was when she started doing the "documentaries" for the famous BBC, till date she's done 4.
