Jacqueline Bracamontes was born on December 23, 1979 in the Mexican city of Guadalajara and is the daughter of Jesus Bracamontes, the former coach of Chivas.

She started in the fashion world at a young age, posing for different magazines and doing some modelling work on local catwalks.

From anonymity to catwalk success

Lupita Jones, director of the 'Nuestra Belleza México' contest, which is used to choose Miss Mexico, invited her to be one of the candidates after seeing her on one of the covers.

Thus, Jacky Bracamontes was part of the 2000 pageant, which she won and allowed her to be the representative of her country in 2001 during Miss Universe, although she failed to qualify among the final 10 candidates.

Since then, she transformed her career and began to participate in Mexican soap operas, triumphing in some of them like 'Las tontas no van al cielo' or 'Sortilegio', in which she starred alongside William Levy. She also lent her voice to some animated films and took her first steps into theatrical performing.

Her work led her to receive numerous awards and she was nominated three times for the TVyNovelas Awards in 2007, 2009 and 2010. In addition to her appearances in soap operas, she has also worked as a presenter, culminating this year with her hosting the Billboard Latin Music Awards.

As for her personal life, she married Martin Fuentes in 2011, with whom she had six children, although one of them, Martin, died on March 28, 2013 just a few minutes after his birth.
