Jena Antonucci doesn’t have a husband and is not a married woman. But the horse trainer does have a sweet life partner in Manuel Martinez.
The American thoroughbred horse trainer and her firefighter partner went public with their relationship in 2021.
Since then, they only have shared a handful of photos on their social media handle.
On Saturday afternoon, June 10, 2023, Jenna entered the 155th Belmont Stakes with her horse Arcangelo to make history. Rode by jockey Javier Castellano, Jenna became the first woman trainer in history to win a Triple Crown Race.
Furthermore, she has previously worked as an equine veterinary assistant and runs HorseOlogy, a place for racing horses to retire.
Jena Antonucci Partner, Manuel Martinez
Jena Antonucci’s partner, Manuel Martinez, is a former firefighter at Citrus County Fire Rescue.
Martinez received his Emergency Medical Technician Certificate in 2017. Since 2018, Manuel has been working as a driver engineer for Citrus County Fire and also has experience with the US Law system.
Manuel has previously worked as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer at the US Department of Justice. He has previously shared a few photographs from his work on his Facebook handle.
Some of the photographs even capture the rigorous training Manuel had to go through to receive his EMT certificate, as being a firefighter is not an easy task.
Along with sharing training pictures, Manuel has also shared several photos of his family, including his three kids.

Manuel Martinez Former Relationship
There aren’t hints or rumors to indicate Jenna was previously a married woman or in a relationship. But Manuel is a formerly married man.
The photos give an idea that Manuel had probably separated from his first relationship in 2018.
With his former wife, Cassidy Marie, Manuel shares three kids, two boys and a girl. Martinez hasn’t taken down any photos of his past relationship from his Facebook handle.
Just like Manuel, Cassidy has also moved on in her life. She is currently engaged to Timothy Warren, with the engagement taking place recently in May.
Though they might not be together anymore, Cassidy and Manuel have tried their best to make their blended family work.
The three kids have been seen spending time with both their parents equally and seemed to have warmed up to their parents’ respective partners.
