Duane First Heard Devi on a Radio Show
You may have heard love at first sight, but have you heard love at first voice? Well, it was the case with this ex-couple. Duane first heard Devi when she was at the FM station, 97.9 The Box. The Jets player found Devi’s voice and personality so intriguing that he pictured her in his head like a strong light that was drawing him towards it. He then searched for her online and liked what he saw, too. In an interview with HGTV, Duane shared,
She was so engaging and in the theater of my mind, I was imagining there was this light that just drew me to her. I looked her picture up online and liked what I saw in addition to what I’d already heard. I wanted to meet her and I knew the station was going to throw her a birthday party at a nightclub one night, so I went and reserved a table there and introduced myself.
Devi, in the same interview, added,
I had no idea he was going to do that. In fact, three weeks later I moved to New York for another job. We had to date long distance for a while.
The former flames Shared a son
Almost a decade of their relationship provided Duane and Devi Brown with a son, Quest Mandela Brown. Their child was born in May 2018 and is currently 6-year-old. Duane and Devi are possibly co-parenting their little one.
