Age, early life and rise to fame
The American actress-model was born on March 5, 1975, in San Diego, California where she grew up alongside her three siblings. As a child, Jolene Blalock spent most of her time developing her surfing and artistic skills. This was possible because she had no friends. As a child, she looked awkward and didn’t have a good childhood because she found it difficult to get along with other children.
However, by the time she was in high school, she blossomed into a beautiful woman with the kind of body that sells in the model making industry. As a result, she decided to pursue a career in the industry and left home at the age of seventeen to become a model in Europe and Asia. This proved to be a good choice as she landed many jobs that put her at the forefront of modeling and eventually the cover of numerous magazines.
She later appeared in the comedy series, Love Boat: The Next Wave (1999), CSI: Crime Scene Investigation , JAG and Jason, and The Argonauts (2000). In 2001, she appeared in the film On the Edge and the miniseries, The Diamond Hunters.
Jolene landed her breakthrough role as Sub-Commander/Commander T’Pol on Star Trek: Enterprise in 2001 and she stayed on until 2005. The role earned her a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television.
Jolene Blalock family
Jolene Blalock is married to Michael Rapino, a film producer and CEO of global entertainment company Live Nation. The duo reportedly met in 2002 on the set of a beer commercial in Los Angeles that Jolene was working on Star Trek . They started dating shortly after and managed to keep their relationship alive despite their demanding careers. They both lived in different cities – Rapino lived in England at the time while Blalock was in America – but that wasn’t enough to tear them apart either.
In April 2003, Jolene Blalock convinced they were destined to be husband and wife and took a bold step by proposing to her husband. She had flown her two families with them to Negril, Jamaica, on vacation, and there she got on one knee and popped the question. Of course, Rapino agreed and the next day, April 22, 2003, they tied the knot in a private ceremony.
Their union has produced three children, all boys. They welcomed their first son on May 25, 2010, while the second, named River Thunder Rapino, was born in 2012. In December 2014, the couple welcomed their third son, Rexton Rapino.
