MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): Manny Pacquiao went on a coffee date with his wife Jinkee after the latter, who he described as his “soulmate,” debunked rumours that she had filed for annulment of their marriage.
The Filipino boxing icon gave a glimpse of their date, addressing the “Marites” who apparently spread the annulment rumours about them, through a video on his TikTok page on Wednesday, Feb 1. “Marites” is a slang term used for a person who consistently gossips about other people.
"To the Marites out there, you might die from envy. To those spreading such gossip, our Lord will punish you for your wrongdoings.”
Jinkee, for her part, declared her love to Manny while showing more snaps from their coffee date as well as photos of their visit to their new home, through her Instagram page.
“Home is wherever I’m with you. By your side is where I want to be. I love you, babe!” Jinkee told Manny.
Jinkee earlier belied rumors that their marriage is on the rocks by showing a recent photo of them being cozy with each other. She spoke about such rumours after their family friend, talent manager Annabelle Rama, addressed the “Marites” supposedly spreading false information about the couple.
Jinkee and Manny, who have been married for 23 years, share five children together, namely Emmanuel, Michael, Mary Divine, Queen Elizabeth and Israel.
