However, we know that she was born on the 24th of December. This is because we conducted a quick search through her famous son&#8217;s Instagram page and found out he celebrates his mother&#8217;s birthday every 24th of December.<\/p>\n<p>Because very little is known about her family, it is not clear what the identities of her parents are or were. It is also not certain if she has any siblings or if she is an only child. Details about Jacinta&#8217;s educational qualifications are also not available at the moment. However, it is believed that she did have some form of formal education.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BdEh5UXBBpM\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

However, she also has a diverse and fascinating cultural background. According to our findings, she actually comes from a mixed ethnicity and biracial background that includes African-American and Puerto Rican roots.<\/p>\n<p>Her maternal great-grandmother hailed from Puerto Rico, and the rest of the family tree on the maternal side is primarily of African-American heritage.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of her mixed heritage, Jacinta Garay possesses unique physical features that are reflective of both African-American and Puerto Rican cultures. She has passed on these unique traits to her children, including Giancarlo Stanton, who has a distinct and recognizable appearance.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jacinta Meet and Married Her Ex-Husband, Mike Stanton in the US<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Jacinta Garay met and married her ex-husband, Mike Stanton, in the USA. It is not clear where exactly they met and how their romance began. However, it is believed that they met in the early 1980s and hit it off soon after meeting, as they were apparently struck by each other.<\/p>\n<p>According to our findings, Mike Stanton is an American man who worked for the US Postal Service. Some unconfirmed reports say he also used to be a baseball player before eventually joining the postal service. Not much else is known about the man or his background.<\/p>\n<p>After dating for a while, Jacinta Garay and Mike Stanton decided to get married and eventually did so in 1987. Details about how the wedding took place and where it happened remain unclear. It is, however, believed that family and friends were present to cheer them on.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>She Welcomed Giancarlo Stanton Two Years After Her Marriage<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On 8 November 1989, about two years after they tied the knot as husband and wife, Jacinta Garay and Mike Stanton welcomed their son, Giancarlo Stanton.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BiueskCBdDw\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

By the time he was a teenager, Giancarlo had already proven he was a star in the making as he excelled in football and baseball at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. He later decided to focus more on baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Giancarlo Stanton is now a prominent professional baseball player who currently serves as a designated hitter and corner outfielder for the New York Yankees in Major League Baseball (MLB). He began his MLB career in 2010, playing for the Florida Marlins, and remained with the team until the end of the 2017 season. Giancarlo has since established himself as one of the most important power hitters in the league, having twice led the National League (NL) in home runs. In 2017, he set a career-high of 59 home runs, the most in 16 years.<\/p>\n<p>He is widely regarded as one of the best power hitters in baseball history. He holds several records, including the most home runs hit in a single season by a Marlins player (59), the most home runs hit in a single season by a right-handed batter in Yankees history (38), and the most home runs hit in a single season by a player born in California (59).<\/p>\n<p>Giancarlo is known for his imposing physical presence and the ability to hit long home runs on a regular basis. He bats and throws right-handed, and his tremendous talent and work ethic have made him a fan favorite and one of the most exciting players to watch in the league.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jacinta Disagreed With Her Husband on the Name to Call Giancarlo\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Interestingly, Jacinta Garay fell out with her ex-husband, Mike Stanton, over what the name of Giancarlo should be when he was born. In an interview, she recalled that when her son, Giancarlo, was born, she wanted to name him Fidel, a name that reflected her Puerto Rican and Spanish heritage. However, her ex-husband was strongly opposed to the name and refused to consider it, citing his dislike of the name.<\/p>\n<p>After the initial disagreement, Garay and her ex-husband eventually decided on the name Giancarlo. However, this name also brought its own set of problems, especially when Giancarlo started high school. This was because some of his peers struggled to pronounce the name, and they began to tease him, causing him to feel hurt and embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>Giancarlo&#8217;s confusion and frustration with his name led him to approach his mother, asking her why she had named him Giancarlo. Garay took this opportunity to explain the significance of his name, telling him that it was a combination of two Italian names, &#8220;Gian&#8221; and &#8220;Carlo,&#8221; which meant &#8220;John&#8221; and &#8220;Charles,&#8221; respectively. She further explained that the name was a reflection of their family&#8217;s multicultural heritage and that it meant to represent strength.<\/p>\n<p>With his mother&#8217;s explanation, Giancarlo came to understand the importance of his name and learned to embrace it. He would later say the name set him apart in the MLB because no one was bearing it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_157403\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157403\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/statics.foxsports.com\/www.foxsports.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/640\/427\/375688c5-062015-fsf-mlb-miami-marlins-stanton-father-fishing-PI.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-157403 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Jacinta-G.jpg\" alt=\"Jacinta Garay \" width=\"696\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Jacinta-G.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Jacinta-G-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-157403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young Giancarlo Stanton and his father, Mike Stanton on a fishing outing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Jacinta Garay Has Two Other Children<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Jacinta Garay&#8217;s son, Giancarlo, is not her only child. As a matter of fact, she has two other children besides Giancarlo; a son named Egidio Carlos Moacir Garay and a daughter named Kairice Valivia Stanton. Although they all grew up together in the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles, only Giancarlo pursued a career in baseball and became famous as a result.<\/p>\n<p>While not much is known about Egidio and Kairice, they have been in the public eye due to their familial ties to Giancarlo. Egidio is Giancarlo&#8217;s older brother, but there is little information available about him beyond that. Similarly, there is little public information available about Kairice, Giancarlo&#8217;s younger sister.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their connections to Giancarlo, neither Egidio nor Kairice has pursued the celebrity status that their brother has achieved. While Giancarlo&#8217;s success in baseball has garnered attention for the family, his siblings have maintained their privacy and chosen to live their lives away from the public eye.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jacinta and Her Husband Were Married For 10 Years and Divorced When Giancarlo was 8<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Jacinta Garay and Mike Stanton&#8217;s marriage seemed perfect to outsiders when it lasted. However, in 1987, after ten years together, the marriage fell apart, and they parted ways. The reason for their divorce has remained undisclosed, and it is not clear how tedious the divorce process was for them.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is clear that while the reasons for their divorce have not been publicly disclosed, the couple actually made a concerted effort to make sure that their separation did not affect the upbringing of their children. It is noteworthy that, at the time of their divorce, Giancarlo was only eight years old and ended up juggling between his parents&#8217; different houses while growing up.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, neither Jacinta nor Mike has been involved in any scandal or controversy. Apparently, despite their divorce, Jacinta Garay and Mike Stanton have remained close and friendly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Did Jacinta Remarry?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Following the dissolution of her 10-year marriage with the father of her three children, little else has been reported about her romantic life, as Jacinta herself has kept a low profile. Apparently, Jacinta&#8217;s privacy has made it challenging to confirm her current relationship status. But it is widely believed that she never remarried and concentrated instead on raising her children when she left Mike Stanton.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it is known that her ex-husband Mike Stanton is currently single. Mike has openly stated that he has not pursued any new relationships since his divorce from Jacinta. He explained that he is taking time to reflect on the problems and misunderstandings that led to the end of his marriage before considering entering into a new relationship or marriage.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Involved Was Her Ex-Husband In Her Children&#8217;s Lives?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to our findings, despite their divorce, Mike Stanton, Jacinta Garay&#8217;s ex-husband, has remained an active presence in their children&#8217;s lives, especially Giancarlo&#8217;s. Reports suggest that Giancarlo has always had a close relationship with his father, and Mike has been there for him every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>One touching example of their relationship occurred when Giancarlo was learning how to write. He made a drawing for his father, spelling out his name in lowercase letters using brightly colored markers. A very proud Mike took the drawing to work at the post office and hung it in his locker, a gesture that shows how delighted he was with his son.<\/p>\n<p>Mike&#8217;s involvement in Giancarlo&#8217;s life has been quite enormous. During his childhood, Giancarlo would often receive baseball training from his father at their church field. During these practices, Mike would bring a bucket of baseballs with him, and they would work together on improving Giancarlo&#8217;s swing. He drove him to baseball training and watched the boy perform on the field.<\/p>\n<p>Mike&#8217;s involvement in his son&#8217;s baseball career didn&#8217;t stop only when Giancarlo was a child. Even today, he has been very involved in his son&#8217;s life. He has been seen frequently attending so many of Giancarlo&#8217;s baseball games. In fact, during an interview with Fox Sports, Mike revealed that he attended 40 of his son&#8217;s games in 2014 and watched the rest on TV. His dedication to supporting his son is evident, and he is widely regarded as Giancarlo&#8217;s biggest fan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_157404\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157404\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2018\/04\/02\/sports\/02stantonweb2\/merlin_136272435_7cca79dc-2d8d-42a5-9211-3e995edb58a7-jumbo.jpg?quality=75&amp;auto=webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-157404 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Jacinta-G1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Jacinta-G1.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Jacinta-G1-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Jacinta-G1-218x150.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-157404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Giancarlo Stanton and his parents, Mike Stanton and Jacinta Garay.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He was also there for Giancarlo in a moment of crisis when he was hit in the face by a pitch in 2014. Mike, who was there during the game, promptly got into &#8216;daddy mode&#8217; and accompanied his son to the hospital, and provided support during his recovery. Giancarlo, who was very touched by this, has often talked about his love and admiration for his father.<\/p>\n<p>While Giancarlo may have received more attention due to his success in baseball, it is important to note that Mike Stanton was equally involved in the lives of his other children, ensuring that they had everything they needed as they grew up, despite being apart from their mother. Mike is reported to have made sure they had everything they wanted and would make efforts to check on all of them as they grew.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Does Jacinta Garay Do For a Living?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most of what is known about Jacinta Garay is related to her famous son, Giancarlo, and how she raised him. So, very little is known about all the things that she did for a living. However, our findings show that for some time, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/04\/02\/sports\/baseball\/giancarlo-stanton-yankees.html\">worked at the US Postal Service<\/a> (USPS) just like her ex-husband did.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some reports say that it was at the USPS that they first met before kickstarting their romance which led to marriage. However, this claim has not been independently verified. So, while it is unclear whether they met while working at the USPS, it is worth noting that they both worked there at some point.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, it is not clear what she does for a living. What is clear is that she is being well taken care of by her famous and wealthy son, who happens to be very fond of his mother.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jacinta Garay and Her Son Are Also &#8216;Best Friends&#8217;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Jacinta Garay and her son are extremely close. In fact, her son has, among other names, once called her his best friend. They go to different places together, and she watches several of his games, cheering him on to greatness. The fondness Giancarlo has for his mother is proof that what he got was uncompromisingly loving care from her when he was a child.<\/p>\n<p>Jacinta Garay is known to be a private person who stays away from social media and the paparazzi. But, despite being private and avoiding media attention, she is known for her outgoing personality and love for hanging out with friends and family, including her son Giancarlo. She reportedly enjoys attending parties and even calls herself a &#8220;cool mom.&#8221; In fact, she and Giancarlo once partied with the famous rapper Snoop Dogg, which is a testament to her fun-loving nature. Giancarlo actually took her to the party, and she loved it.<\/p>\n<p>Jacinta&#8217;s fashion style is also quite unique and eccentric, as seen on her son&#8217;s Instagram page. She is known for her two piercings on either side of her cheeks and her bold fashion choices, which often involve bright colors and unconventional patterns. In December 2015, Giancarlo shared a post of his mother wearing white fur boots, a pink top, and a scarf head wrap, joking in the caption that he always has to remind his mom that it&#8217;s not the 80s anymore. While some may find her fashion choices unusual, Jacinta&#8217;s style is a reflection of her free-spirited nature.<\/p>\n<p>Giancarlo is known to frequently share sweet posts on social media to celebrate his mother on occasions like his mother&#8217;s birthday and Mother&#8217;s Day. Their close bond has been hailed by many people as &#8216;a beautiful thing&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacinta Garay is the mother of Giancarlo Stanton, the popular American professional baseball designated hitter and corner outfielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball.
