After Mother Kate the mother of Jenny Ratchanok publicly revealed a new romance just a few days ago, causing quite a stir and surprise. On 24 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Jenny appeared at an event and opened up about this for the first time.
Speaking about her mother Kate's new love,
"I see that Mom is happy, but I don't think I have any particular feelings about it. Am I worried? Yes, I am concerned. If she is happy with what is happening, then I congratulate her. I hope it is a good love, one that is not exhausting. A love that... supports each other, because our family truly wants someone who is supportive."
Did you know about this before?
"I found out with the news. I haven't directly contacted Mom about it, but I asked Lilly a bit. Lilly said she has met him several times. Was I surprised? Yes, I was. I am concerned because Mom has had several bad experiences with love before. But do I want to forbid it? No, I don't forbid it. She can have it, but as a daughter, I want Mom to find someone truly good."
Have you ever met your mother's new partner?
" I don't know him. And if you ask whether I want to get to know him, the answer is not yet. It's better this way. Give it time. Let Mom get to know him first. Whether they will last depends on Mom's decision. My only wish is that it is a proper love and she is truly happy."
How is your relationship with your mother now?
"It has been unlocked since New Year's Day... Some things require clear agreements and conversations. If we are not both ready, we just overlook it for now and focus on our own happiness. Right now, I am focusing on my child, Yiw. But the relationship between mother and child can never be cut off. People, whether friends or siblings, never completely sever ties. Especially a mother who gave birth to you; it is impossible to hate or be angry at her. As I said, my goal that day was to improve the situation and unlock everything."
