NBC 10’s Daralene Jones Gets New York Times Wedding Write-Up


Former Daily News gossip columnist Dan Gross wrote in these pages a couple months ago that because Philly doesn’t have real celebrities, we ogle out local TV anchors instead. But if our local TV anchors show up in the New York Times wedding section, doesn’t that mean they are famous? Enter Daralene Jones, of NBC 10.

The bride, 32, is a reporter for WCAU-TV in Philadelphia. She graduated from Illinois State and received a master’s degree in public affairs reporting from the University of Illinois at Springfield. She is a daughter of Russell Hawkins of Chicago and the late Shirley Jean Head.

Wooooo! We know her! We know her! (The husband, Antoine Bell, works in Orlando for Lockheed Martin.) Woooooo!
