Early life and education
Jacqueline was raised in Los Angeles by her parents Albert and Angie Obradors, who came to the USA from Argentina not long before she was born. Her father was the owner of an office cleaning company, and her mother was a church worker. Because Jacqueline hasn’t mentioned having any siblings, most people believe that she’s an only child.
She became interested in acting while attending a local high school; Jacqueline was a member of its drama club, and appeared in plays performed both at the school, and at a local theatre. She matriculated in 1984, and spent the following eight years working various jobs, including being a cashier at Hughes Market, prior to launching her acting career with her portrayal of Tanya in the 1992 episode “Jerry’s Journey” of the fantasy comedy series “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”.

She gained recognition in 1999, when she was cast to play Elaine Fowler in the romantic comedy “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo”, directed by Mike Mitchell, and which starred Rob Schneider, William Forsythe and Eddie Griffin. It follows an aquarium cleaner who has been hired to stay at the house of a gigolo and take care of it while he’s away, but has now stolen his identity, and has started pretending that he’s a gigolo; the movie was nominated for two awards.

Love life and husband
Jacqueline prefers to keep the details of her love life away from the media’s attention, but it’s still widely known that she’s today a married woman. She and the Spanish actor and moviemaker Juan Garcia exchanged vows sometime in the 2000s, in a private ceremony attended by only the closest of their friends and family members. They apparently met on a movie set; Juan has appeared in more than 50 movies and TV series, and is perhaps still known best for his portrayal of Special Agent Howell in the 2009 crime movie “Crossing Over”.
Jacqueline and Juan don’t have children together, and while some believe this to be because they both want to focus on their careers, others claim that perhaps one of the two is infertile; none of this has been addressed by the two.
As of January 2022, Jacqueline’s married to Juan Garcia, and doesn’t have children.

She’s quite active on the network, and is today followed by more than 10,000 people, while she has uploaded nearly 500 pictures.
Jacqueline has also done a bit of modelling, but has always considered it a hobby rather than a job; she has been featured in various magazines, including “People”, “Stuff” and “Playboy”.
