As the post went viral, netizens became more curious about Ina’s charming son. Here’s what we know about the latest heartthrob:

He’s a Varsity Player

Standing at 6’1 and boasting an athletic build, it’s no surprise that he’s into sports. Jakob is a part of the Xavier Musketeers baseball team, a varsity intercollegiate baseball program of Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Last 2020, Jakob announced on Instagram his commitment to further his academic and baseball career at Xavier University. Additionally, he expressed his gratitude towards everyone, including his parents and his coach Alex who helped him achieve his goal of playing Division 1 ball. 

In November 2021, Ina Raymundo was enthusiastic that her son was officially a Xavier Musketeer after years of hardships and dedication to baseball. Moreover, she wrote that playing D1 college baseball is one of his son’s best achievements in his life. 

In the United States, Division 1 or D1 is the highest level of intercollegiate athletics sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Looking at this, it is quite a feat!

Their Only Sonshine and JakPot

Out of the five children, he’s the only son of Ina Raymundo and Ukrainian-Canadian Brian Poturnak. Jakob is the second eldest child among their other daughters: Erika, Mikaela, Anika, and Minka. Aside from his son, Ina is also proud of her young girls. 

Since the beginning, she enjoyed sharing and updating us about her talented kids. As for Jakob, she always calls him with an adorable nickname #myonlysonshine (sunshine) or #JakPot (jackpot). 

He Can Play the Piano!

Aside from being athletic, it seems like the baseball player even knows how to play a musical instrument. In July 2021, Ina shared a clip of Jakob playing the piano. Furthermore, she captioned, “Our little music spot (and my not so little son).”

A Sweet Boy

Though not much is known about Jakob, we can tell that he was raised right. In 2020, Ina posted a photo of his son being a gentleman and carrying her Louis Vuitton bag. In the caption, she wrote, “Training my son well. He carries my bag.” 

Moreover, he does not shy away from affection and often poses with his mom. We love a man who treats his momma right!
