Jackie Rice

Jacqueline Sobreo Rice (born April 27, 1990) is a Filipino former actress and model. Until 2022, she was a contract artist of GMA Artist Center. Rice appeared as the cover girl for Maxim magazine in July 2009 and FHM twice in January 2010 and July 2012.

Life and career Born to an American father and a Filipino mother, Rice grew up in Olongapo City, Zambales. She was a student at St. Anne Academy in Olongapo City when she entered showbusiness through GMA Network's reality search contest StarStruck, where she became the Ultimate Female Survivor in the show's third season.

After StarStruck, she appeared in Love to Love. She was then suspended from work by GMA for six weeks after she was seen drinking and smoking in public. She then joined Dyesebel and Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang.

In 2009, Rice was cast in a supporting role in the remake of Kung Aagawin Mo ang Lahat sa Akin, playing Maxene Magalona's younger sister, and as a costar to Manny Pacquiao in the indie film Sa Ngalan ng Busabos. She also appeared as the cover girl for Maxim magazine in July 2009. To end the year, she played Helga, ang Demonyita, a villainess in Mars Ravelo's Darna starring Marian Rivera and also took a supporting role in the MMFF film Ang Darling Kong Aswang.

For January 2010, Rice was the cover girl for FHM, making her debut on the men's magazine. When FHM released their 25 Sexiest Women of the Decade, she was listed at no. 23. She was also cast in the fantaserye Panday Kids before landing lead roles for the shows Dear Friend Presents: Tisay and Ilumina, where she played a dark sorceress possessed by a demon.

In 2017, she joined the cast of My Love from the Star, the Philippine remake of the Korean drama of the same name. In 2018, Rice took on another villainous role when she played the insane Ava, lead antagonist of Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka, drawing similarities to fellow StarStruck alumna Ryza Cenon's performance in Ika-6 na Utos. Later in 2019, she was cast as Tiffy, the comical supporting villain in TODA One I Love. In an interview with Rice, she admitted that the antagonist role was far from her previous characters, stating her character in Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka was a "very dark and cold-blooded murderer," whereas TODA One I Love, she was "flirtatious and comical."

Personal life Rice was first in a relationship with Gian Carlos, who was also on Starstruck season 3. She was also in a relationship with actor Biboy Ramirez. Around 2010, she began a relationship with a non-showbiz boyfriend.
