Who is Minka Kelly? Everything you need to know:

Early life and birth into rock royalty

Minka Kelly was born in LA in 1980 and raised in New Mexico. Her dad is probably cooler than yours too – she’s the child of Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay. She has worked in modeling and was once offered the chance to become a Playboy Playmate. The American national is of Dutch, Irish, and French heritage.

An impressive acting CV

She rose to prominence as Lyla Garrity in Friday Night Lights, and a string of high-profile TV roles have followed for Minka Kelly. Star turns in Charlie’s Angels, Jane the Virgin, and Almost Human really put the actress on the map. She is perhaps best known for her current role in Titans, a TV adaptation from the DC comics universe. She’s featured in several Hollywood films, including 500 Days of Summer and Just Go With It.

No pressure, Trevor Noah – but Esquire once named Kelly as ‘the sexiest woman alive’

In 2011, Minka Kelly topped a poll that certified her as a household name. This wasn’t the only accolade she won for her beauty either: Maxim Magazine has twice put her in their ‘Hot 100’.

A passionate activist and civil rights advocate

The 40-year-old is putting her public profile to good use. With over 1.2 million followers combined on both her Instagram and Twitter pages, Kelly is championing the Black Lives Matter cause while also imploring young Americans to vote in this year’s elections. She’s also an ambassador for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).

Minka Kelly’s view on relationships…

According to her IMDB page, Trevor Noah’s new squeeze has a pretty comprehensive philosophy on relationships:

  • “I think brutal honesty is extremely important. Don’t be afraid of being up-front about your feelings and your life.”
  • “In any solid, good relationship, it takes a while to trust someone… I like someone who doesn’t need approval or validation.”
  • “I think the most attractive thing for me when I meet a guy is confidence and him being comfortable in his own skin.”
