Early Life and Education

Jennifer Syquia was born on November 2, 1967, in Binghamton, New York, to a Swedish-American mother, Susan, and a Filipino father, Victor Syquia, who came from the prominent Syquia clan of Ilocos Sur (descendants of President Elpidio Quirino’s family).

Raised in the United States with strong Swedish and Filipino cultural influences, she spent part of her childhood in Sweden and later moved to the Philippines as a teenager.

She attended high school in Manila and briefly studied at Assumption College before her modeling career took off. Her mixed heritage—Swedish, American, and Filipino—gave her a distinctive Nordic-Asian beauty that quickly caught the attention of the local fashion industry.

Career

Jenny Syquia began her career in the late 1980s as one of Manila’s most in-demand runway and print models, walking for top Filipino designers and appearing in numerous magazine covers and commercials during the golden era of Philippine fashion.

Her tall, statuesque frame and cool Scandinavian features made her a favorite among advertisers and photographers. She transitioned into acting in the early 1990s, appearing in a handful of Filipino films and television shows, most notably opposite her then-husband Gabby Concepcion.

Though her screen roles were limited, her elegance and poise left a lasting impression.

After her highly publicized 1993 wedding to Gabby Concepcion, Jenny largely stepped away from full-time modeling and acting to focus on married life and motherhood.

Following their separation and annulment in 1996, she chose to keep a low profile, occasionally resurfacing for select modeling assignments or charity events in Manila and Sweden.

In recent years she has lived primarily between the United States and Sweden, supporting her daughter Cloie’s own rise as a beauty queen and model while staying out of the entertainment spotlight herself.

Jenny Syquia’s legacy in Philippine pop culture remains tied to the glamour of the 1990s, when she and Gabby were considered one of the country’s most beautiful and talked-about couples.

Her decision to prioritize privacy and family over sustained fame has only added to her mystique, and she continues to be remembered fondly as one of the era’s most graceful and enigmatic figures.

Personal Life

Jenny Syquia married Filipino actor Gabby Concepcion in a lavish ceremony on May 23, 1993, at the Manila Cathedral. The union, widely covered by the press, produced their only child together, Cloie Syquia Skarne, born in 1995.

The couple separated in 1996 and their marriage was eventually annulled. Jenny also has an older daughter, Filippa Babes, from a previous relationship. After the annulment, she relocated with her daughters to the United States and later spent significant time in Sweden.

She has never remarried and has successfully kept her private life away from tabloids, focusing instead on raising her two daughters, both of whom have pursued modeling careers of their own.

Net Worth

Jenny Syquia has an estimated net worth of $2 million, derived primarily from her successful modeling career in the Philippines during the late 1980s and 1990s, strategic investments, and family assets.

While she stepped away from regular work in entertainment decades ago, residuals from past endorsements and her discreet lifestyle have allowed her to maintain financial comfort across the United States and Europe.
