Jeanette Christina Dousdebes Rubio (born December 5, 1973) is the wife of United States Senator and former 2016 presidential candidate Marco Rubio.[1]

Early life

Jeanette was born in

South Miami High School. She met her future husband, Marco Rubio, at a neighborhood party when she was 17 and he was 19.[4][5][6][7] After graduating from high school, she attended Miami Dade College.[3]

Before her marriage, she worked as a bank teller.[4] In 1997, she became a member of the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders.[4][3] Her sister, Adriana Dousdebes, was also a cheerleader for the Dolphins.[3] Jeanette was featured in the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders' first swimsuit calendar.[8] It was during her time as a cheerleader that Jeanette Dousdebes and Marco Rubio, who were only slightly acquainted in high school, met again and began to date.[9]

When the Rubios were first married, she enrolled in a course of study in

International Fine Arts College, but did not complete her studies, devoting herself, instead, to being a full-time mother of four children.[2][3] Rubio has told the press that mothering four small children while married to a politician is very much "like being a single mom."[10]

During her husband's service in the Florida legislature, Rubio lived with the children near Miami, traveling to

Tallahassee to be with her husband as often as she could.[11][7]

Political involvement

During the race for speaker, she was enlisted by her husband to manage the

political action committees he used to support his travel and consultants, a decision he later described as a "disaster" as it resulted in confusion on financial transactions related to travel and expenses, due to "inexperience, sloppiness and a blur of paperwork" according to a report by the Tampa Bay Times.[2]

Unlike many spouses of Presidential candidates, Rubio did not make campaign speeches.[12][13]

Rubio's campaign spotlighted her career as a Dolphins cheerleader in a television ad broadcast shortly before the

New Hampshire primary, and the NFL playoffs.[14]

The Washington Post reported that Rubio is a part-time employee of the Norman Braman Family 2011 Charitable Foundation, which is also a financial backer of her husband Marco Rubio, and likely to commit as much as US$10 million to pro-Rubio PACs.[15]

Charitable work

Rubio volunteers for an organization called Kristi's House, which serves youth in the Miami area who have been abused or involved in human trafficking.[16]

Personal life

Florida House Speaker Rubio, Miami, officially sworn into office by Judge R. Fred Lewis, with Jeanette and the three oldest children at his side, in 2006

The Rubios live in West Miami, Florida, close to Jeanette's three sisters.[16]

The Rubios had a

Catholic wedding in 1998 at the Church of the Little Flower in Coral Gables, Florida and have four children: Daniella, Amanda, Dominick, and Anthony.[6][3][17]

Rubio and her family regularly attend both Roman Catholic

Bible study class in her home.[3] Her three younger children attend a private Protestant Christian school while the eldest attends a Catholic high school.[2][20]
