Ahead of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao fight on May 2 we take a closer look at the woman behind the mighty Pacman, Jinkee Pacquiao.
Here is what you need to know about Pacquiao’s wife:
Manny & Jinkee Pacquiao Have Been Married for 15 Years
Married in 2000, Manny Pacquiao and 36-year-old Maria Geraldine “Jinkee” Capeña Jamora are one of the Philippines’ most famous and celebrated couples. Mainstays in the nation’s contemporary culture, the Pacquiaos have been featured on reality shows, television specials, and commercials.
Manny & Jinkee Met While She Worked at a Mall
After graduating from high school, General Santos City native Jinkee studied business management in Notre Dame in Kiamba and later attended AMA Computer University. It was during this time, while working as a cosmetologist in a shopping mall, that she met her future husband, Manny Pacquiao.
The two were introduced at the mall by Jinkee’s uncle, who was Pacquiao’s personal assistant.
They Have Five Children
The Pacquiaos have five children: Emmanuel Jr, Princess, Israel, Queen Elizabeth, and Michael. The three boys and two girls range from ages one to 14. All of the couple’s children were born in their native Philippines except for Queen, who was born in the States.
Jinkee Pacquiao is Vice Governor of a Province in the Philippines
Congressman Manny Pacquiao (he was reelected to a second term, running unopposed in 2013), isn’t the only one in family with political aspirations. In 2012 Jinkee was elected vice governor of Sarangani province in the Philippines.
Their Marriage Has Been Rocky at Times
The price of fame and glory has come at a premium for the Pacquiaos. Gambling, infidelities (Pacquiao had been linked to Filipio actress Krista Ranillo), and neglect have taken their toll on the marriage.
