The Pacquiao family is set to welcome a new addition, as Jimuel Pacquiao, eldest son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and Jinkee Pacquiao, is expecting his first child with his partner.
On Tuesday, Oct. 14, Jinkee shared the news through a gender reveal video posted on Facebook, expressing her excitement in the caption.
“Grabe kasadya! (Gender reveal) 😆 Bisan ako wala ko ka-guess kay lalaki ang akong gitagna. Next month na namo makita ang baby girl namo! (Grabe ang saya! Kahit ako, hindi ko nahulaan kasi lalaki ang hula ko. Next month na namin makikita ang baby girl namin!) Proud Mammita,” she wrote, revealing that the baby is a girl and that she will soon take on the role of grandmother.
According to her translated caption, the couple is expecting to welcome their child next month.
Jinkee followed up with a heartfelt post featuring a throwback photo of her holding a young Jimuel.
“The day I became your mother, my world changed instantly. It marked the start of a new version of myself, one that is tender, tired, and transformed,” she wrote.
Reflecting on motherhood, Jinkee added, “Time flies so fast noon ikaw ang karga karga ko, sa susunod na buwan ang apo ko naman ang kakargahin ko.”
“Grabe, kapaspas gyud sa panahon sunod bulan naa na koy apo (Grabe, ang bilis talaga ng panahon dahil sa susunod na buwan, may apo na ako). So grateful to God. He is indeed good all the time!”, concluded her post.
Jimuel, who is currently based in the US to pursue a boxing career, was last seen with his rumored girlfriend in late June when they were spotted holding hands during a family church visit in Los Angeles. He has yet to publicly discuss the pregnancy or confirm the identity of his partner.
