TEMECULA, Calif. — Emmanuel “Jimuel” Pacquiao Jr., the eldest son of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and Jinkee Pacquiao, has married Carolina Pimentel in a California ceremony attended by relatives, close friends and members of the Pacquiao family’s boxing and entertainment circle.
The couple exchanged vows in Southern California in a ceremony reported to have taken place at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula. The celebration was intimate and family-centered, with a soft color palette of white, pink and maroon reflected in the setting and wedding party.
Jimuel wore an all-white suit with a light pink necktie, while Carolina walked down the aisle in a classic white bridal gown and veil. Manny Pacquiao attended in a navy suit, while Jinkee Pacquiao wore a lilac satin gown. Jimuel’s sisters, Princess and Queenie, wore pink dresses, while his brother Israel was also dressed in a coordinated ensemble.
Family moments shaped the ceremony, including Carolina’s walk down the aisle and the couple’s recessional as guests showered them with flower petals.
The wedding marked another public milestone for the Pacquiao family. Jimuel and Carolina welcomed their daughter, Clara, in Los Angeles in November 2025. At the wedding celebration, Clara appeared with the couple and members of both families.
At the reception, Jimuel and Carolina entered with their daughter as guests welcomed them with cheers and music. The program also included the couple’s first dance and a mother-and-son dance between Jimuel and Jinkee.
Singer Sofronio Vasquez performed during the reception. Boxer Mark Magsayo also extended congratulations to the couple.
Jimuel has built a public profile of his own while carrying one of the most recognizable surnames in Philippine sports. He joined ABS-CBN’s Star Magic in 2020 and later turned professional as a boxer. In April, he recorded his first professional victory, stopping Darrick Gates in the second round of a lightweight bout at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula.
The wedding brought together several parts of the Pacquiao family’s public life – boxing, entertainment, faith and family – while centering the occasion on Jimuel, Carolina and baby Clara as they begin their next chapter as a family.
