Mina’s husband is not as passionate about soccer as she is
Mina and her husband Nick Sylvester met through mutual friends. According to Mina’s Instagram page, they started dating in 2012 and have been going strong ever since. The couple got married on September 19, 2015 in Philadelphia. Mina and Nick don’t have children yet, but they raise their dog Lenny together.
Nick is not as enthusiastic about soccer as Mina. However, his mother is an avid Eagles fan. mine said the philadelphia investigator:
“My husband went to St. Joe’s Prep and they are from Montgomeryville. He’s not a huge Eagles fan, but my mother-in-law is. She texts me all the time about the Eagles and how nervous she is. She wears her Ella Wentz shirt everywhere.”
Nick’s grandfather inspired his passion for music.
Nick was born into a family of musicians outside of Philadelphia. His father was a drummer and his mother tried to play the piano, but most of the time she was out of tune. Nick’s grandfather inspired Nick to play the trumpet, though according to an Instagram photo he posted on April 15, 2020, he didn’t have much of a choice. He wrote:
“My first instrument was the trumpet. I didn’t have much say in the matter, my grandfather had played the trumpet, he was gifted with perfect pitch and finally got the call from Charlie Barnet to join him as solo president in the touring band, but pop’s wife was pregnant . with my aunt, so that dad would not go anywhere. Trumpet was my arranged marriage.”
However, Nick began playing wedding bands and bar mitzvahs. He studied computer music at Harvard. He then moved to New York and met American musician James Murphy. Nick honed his music production skills under Murphy’s tutelage and later founded Godmode Music with Tatya Elitzer.
Godmode Music is a record label and production company. Nick also founded the music app Bounce.
Nick was involved in a manufacturing scandal during his time on The Village Voice
Sylvester once worked as an editor and writer. In 2006, his tenure as senior associate editor at The Village Voice came to an abrupt end after he was accused of fabricating a cover story. Sylvester acknowledged that a scene depicted in his story never happened. The disgraced writer offered an apology that read:
“I am deeply sorry for this misinformation and apologize to Lookner for his distress, which I certainly never intended.”
Nick was a young writer, and reports indicated that he was pushed into writing a piece he was not ready for, and thus the mistake. Sylvester bounced back from this low point in impressive fashion, as he is now making it big in the music industry.
Mina was born on September 8, 1985 to an American father and a Korean mother. She had a great relationship with her mother, but it was her father with whom she shared a special bond. Mina’s father was a captain in the Air Force and she idolized him. She spent a lot of time with her father in her youth. He attended her soccer games, drove with her while talking about countries and her capitals, and comforted her when she was down.
Inevitably, Mina and her dad parted ways after she reached high school. She struggled with her weight and she didn’t feel like her father understood what she was going through. Kimes and her father watched sports together growing up, but she didn’t like games as much as her father. Mina’s love for soccer was ignited during her time in college.
He started calling his father after the games and that helped rebuild their bond. Mina declared in an article published in slate.com:
“My father still calls me almost every day when he drives home from work. We still talk about the news, the weather, and back pain, which has gotten much worse over the years. But above all we talk about football”.
There are things that Mina and her dad don’t talk about, but she treasures every conversation with her dad, no matter how small. She wrote:
There are things I can never tell you. I know there are things he has never told me. But sometimes, it’s enough to have something to talk about (something pointless, brutal, and sometimes wonderful). Actually, it is more than enough. It makes me indescribably happy. The truth is, I wish the season would never end.”
Mina, her father, and her brother Isaac Kimes are avid Seattle Seahawks fans. She and her brother have identical Seahawks Super Bowl tattoos.
