Jinkee Pacquiao couldn’t hold back her tears. After four long years, the Pacquiao family is finally complete again.

On July 17, 2025, Jinkee uploaded a photo of their complete family in Las Vegas, accompanied by a tribute to the long-awaited moment of reuniting.

“Four years later, and together again at last. Our hearts are full. [two hearts emoji] Every family reunion is a chapter on our story,” she wrote.

“This one is extra special after four years. [two hearts emoji] Thank you Lord for your favor and blessings! [praying hands emoji]”

She continued her post in Bisaya, which captured the depth of her joy: “Hilak gyud ko habang ga type ko sa caption ani nga picture [crying face emoji]

“Nakahilak ko sa kalipay ug grabeng pasalamat nako sa Ginoo na kompleto akong pamilya.

“Mao lang gyud ang handom sa usa ka inahan nga naa tanan ang mga anak makauban ug makompleto mi pamilya [crying face emoji]”

(I was really crying while typing the caption for this picture. I cried out of joy and deep gratitude to God that my family is complete. That’s the one true wish of any mother—for all her children to be together and the family to be whole.)

“Thank you Lord Jesus for everything! [emojis]”

REUNITING AT THE PERFECT TIME

The reunion comes at a pivotal moment in the career of the family patriarch, Manny Pacquiao.

After four years in retirement, the boxing legend is stepping back into the ring.

NOOD KA MUNA!

Just a month earlier, on June 9, 2025, Manny was officially inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF).

The ceremony took place at the Turning Stone Resort in Verona, New York, where the 46-year-old boxing icon joined the ranks of the sport’s greatest.

“I never chase greatness. I just work hard to be better than the Manny Pacquiao I was yesterday,” Manny said during his speech.

With a pro record of 62 wins, 8 losses, and 2 draws—with 39 knockouts—Pacquiao is the only boxer in history to win world titles in eight different weight divisions.

He also holds the distinction of winning titles across four different decades.

In the Hall of Fame ceremony, Manny was accompanied by Jinkee, a few close aides, and members of his training team.

“I never pick the easy fights. I choose the hard ones. I move up weight after weight not to protect a record, but to test my limits,” he continued.

“And now when I look back — eight-division world champion, world titles in four different decades, oldest welterweight world champion in history.

“Those are not just opinions, they are facts.”

WHERE THE PACQUIAO CHILDREN ARE NOW

Over the past four years, the family’s five children have lived in different parts of the world.

Eldest son Jimuel (Emmanuel Jr.) has been based in Los Angeles, pursuing a professional boxing career—one that follows in the footsteps of his father, the legendary Manny Pacquiao.

Jimuel has been training rigorously in the U.S., occasionally sharing updates on his progress, and has even participated in amateur bouts as he builds his name in the sport.

Michael Stephen, the couple's second son, took a different path altogether: politics.

Staying in their hometown of General Santos City, Michael was elected as a city councilor—his first term as a public servant, and a milestone he achieved despite his father’s unsuccessful senatorial bid in 2025.

Daughter Princess (Mary Divine Grace) left the Philippines to begin her college education in the United Kingdom.

She officially started at Royal Holloway, University of London in September 2024.

Queenie Elizabeth, born in 2008, is currently in senior high school at Brent International School Manila.

Now 16, she’s expected to graduate from high school in 2026.

The youngest of the bunch, Israel, turned 11 last April.

Israel's bright smile and gentle presence are familiar to Jinkee’s followers, as he frequently appears in her updates playing, studying, or simply enjoying quiet moments with his mom.
