Who is Reggie Jackson's ex-wife Jennie Campos? A closer look into MLB legend's relationship with his college sweetheart

The Prime Video documentary "Reggie," which examines the life of MLB legend Reggie Jackson, will premiere this week.

The documentary will include interviews with a number of sports legends who discussed the impact of Jackson. Jackson's personal life, including his relationship with his daughter Kimberly, is also explored in the documentary.

Kimberly was born several years after Reggie split up with his ex-wife Jennie Campos.

Jennie was born in Miami, Arizona in 1946. She holds a degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

She spent many years working as an international consultant, including stints in Rwanda in 2015 with the USAID team and in Kabul, Afghanistan, with Creative Associates International. She is employed by Desert Dweller as a professional consultant.

Jennie is a Roman Catholic and attends church often.

She is the daughter of Joe Catano Campos, a former US Air Force fighter who died in the Korean War.

Jennie Campos & Reggie Jackson’s love story

The duo met during Reggie Jackson's first year at Arizona State. When Jackson asked Campos out on a date, he found that the two had a lot in common, including a love of Spanish and being raised by a single mom. However, their relationship was not approved of by an assistant football coach, who tried to break up the couple because of the difference in their race.

Despite the opposition, the couple got married after a brief period of dating, but the union didn't last and they split up in 1973.

Jackson said in an interview with Howard Stern that, in his prime, he had access to a large number of attractive women, which caused him to cheat frequently.

"It wasn’t hard for me to open my heart, but it was hard for me to be loyal. As a man, I cheated a lot. I won’t blame it on any excuse. I just cheated. I saw a pretty girl, and I tried to sleep with her. I had access, and I took advantage of it, and I missed a couple of wonderful ladies in my life, and it was my fault. I didn’t get it.”
