Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, 42, has announced his official retirement. As the Philippines now nears its 2022 national election, the boxer-turned-senator has decided to pay attention to his presidential pursuit.

Manny Pacquiao and his wife Jinkee Pacquiao have been together for more than two decades now, and have five children together. Jinkee advised and supported her husband when he decided to enter the political arena of the country. However, this is just one of the several other things that prove the strength of their bond.

Who is Jinkee Pacquiao?

Jinkee Pacquiao, 42, has had various different roles to play as an individual other than just being the boxer's wife. A comfortable and luxurious lifestyle is not what has always been the reality of Jinkee's life. When Jinkee was younger, she had worked many jobs, including selling beauty products at a mall. It is here that Jinkee met Manny, and a few months later, they were married.

Jinkee has served as the vice governor of Sarangani province from 2013 to 2016. After she stepped down, she did not stop working for social welfare through charitable trusts. She has worked as a producer for a number of movies and documentaries, some of which even revolved around the life of Manny Pacquiao. Jinkee has her own YouTube channel with a whopping 1.01M subscribers. Her Instagram account documents her love for her family and fashion.

"God made you to be you. He has a perfect plan for your life, and it's a perfect plan. If you're going to become all you can be, YOU HAVE TO REFUSE to be DEFINED by others," one of her solo pictures reads. "Happy weekend," reads another picture with her husband.

Here's a look at some more of her Instagram pictures:

Jinkee and Manny together operate 'The Jinkee and Manny Heart Foundation', helping the needy not just in their home country, but across the globe. The couple has raised five children together — Jimuel, Michael Stephen, Mary Divine Grace and Queenie. One of the lesser-known facts about Jinkee is that she has a twin sister called Janet, whom she is quite close to.

From motherhood to charity to politics, Jinkee wears several hats that have won her appreciation as an individual, and not just as Manny's wife. Through charity, Jinkee loves giving back to her community.
