Kimberly Jackson is the daughter of Major League Baseball (MLB) legend Reggie Jackson.

She was born in the second half of the 1980s, several years after Reggie's divorce from his first wife, Jennie Campos. Kimberly was the result of an extramarital affair Reggie had with a woman. She serves as the Deputy Chief Information Officer (DCIO) for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Kimberly is a graduate of Vanguard University of Southern California with a degree in Sociology.

Despite the circumstances of her birth, Kimberly has maintained a close relationship with her father throughout her life. Reggie has been open about his mistakes and has acknowledged his responsibility as a father to all his children, including Kimberly. Reggie has spoken publicly about his relationship with Kimberly and the importance of being present in her life.

“I have a wonderful daughter,” Reggie said recently on the Howard Stern show. “I wasn’t married when I had her, but what an unbelievable experience, and she’s given me two grandchildren — two boys, and one of the kids, the poor son of a gun, he looks just like me.”

Kimberly Jackson has not sought out the spotlight or attention that comes with being the daughter of a baseball legend. She has kept a relatively low profile, and little is known about her personal life, apart from the fact that she has two children.

Reggie Jackson's relationship with Kimberly serves as a reminder that while mistakes can be made, it's never too late to mend fences with those we care about.

Jackson is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time, known for his exceptional hitting ability and clutch performances in big games. He played for several teams throughout his career, including the Oakland Athletics, New York Yankees and California Angels. He's a 14-time All-Star and won five World Series.
