Jinkee Pacquiao turned to social media to send a message to her son Jimuel Pacquiao after his professional boxing debut on Saturday, November 29 (US time).

“You are loved, amazing, and I am so proud of you! ✨♥️🙏,” Jinkee wrote on her Instagram.

The socialite shared behind-the-scenes photos from Jimuel’s fight against Brendan Lally of Chicago, Illinois, at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula. The boxing contest ended in a majority draw.

Jinkee’s post got swift reaction from fans online.

“Mamita is sooo proud❤️ how powerful a mother’s prayer for her child ❤️,” one fan said.

In 2021, Jimuel secured his amateur boxing license in the United States.

In an interview with the Inquirer in March 2024, Jimuel shared how his father helped him master the fundamentals and qualities required of a boxer.

“Every punch, footwork and strategy that I learned are filled with the wisdom of my father’s experiences,” he told me.

He said that there is a lot of pressure because his father is a world boxing champion, but he has learned “to channel this pressure into motivation, focusing on crafting my own identity within the sport.”

He also shared his boxing career goals, both short and long term.

He recently had his first child with his non-showbiz partner Carolina.

On November 22, Jinkee shared photos of her granddaughter on her Instagram site. “Hello, World! My name is Clara,” she wrote.

Jinkee revealed in October that Jimuel and his partner were expecting a baby girl.

She wrote a message to Jimuel in another post last month, as the latter prepares to begin a new chapter in his life as a father.

In July, Jimuel’s family and his girlfriend’s family ate dinner together.

Jinkee shared photos from the dinner in Los Angeles, California, on Instagram.
