Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao pokes fun at wife Jinkee as pickleball fever invades their private bedroom.
Even the bedroom is no longer off-limits when pickleball fever strikes. Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is learning that the hard way with his wife, Jinkee Pacquiao.
In a funny video shared on Manny’s social media, Jinkee appeared focused on practicing the fast-growing paddle sport, repeatedly hitting a pickleball against their bedroom door.
While Jinkee seemed determined to perfect her game, Manny couldn’t help poking fun at his wife’s newfound hobby, wondering how their private space had turned into an unexpected training area.
“Grabe, hanggang dito sa kuwarto nagpi-pickleball ka,” Manny quipped as he watched Jinkee swing her paddle.
“Ano na ba itong nangyari sa atin?” he jokingly asked, before wondering aloud why his wife was still playing inside their room.
“Ano bang nangyayari? Hanggang dito sa kuwarto may pickleball,” he added.
Rather than stopping his wife’s practice session, Manny seemed to have accepted that pickleball had become part of their household routine.
“Nako po! Wala na, magtatayo na tayo ng pickleball dito sa kuwarto natin,” he joked.
Manny also poked fun at their contrasting activities, with him enjoying some downtime while Jinkee remained busy with her paddle.
“While nag-e-enjoy ako dito sa kuwarto, while watching outside, nagpi-pickleball naman ’tong asawa ko. Magtatayo na ako ng isang court dito sa loob ng kuwarto,” he said.
If Jinkee keeps up the practice, Manny might just have to turn their bedroom into a pickleball court.
Their playful banter offered a glimpse of the couple’s fun side, with Manny jokingly coming to terms with a wife who apparently can’t put down her paddle, even in their private space.
