The couple have three children together. Skating career 
In 1949, Jenkins won his first senior national medal, bronze, and placed 6th in Paris, France, at his first World Championships. The following year, he became the national silver medalist and took bronze at the 1950 World Championships in London, England. Jenkins placed 5th in the compulsory figures, third in the free skating, and 4th overall at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway. In 1953, Jenkins became the national champion for the first time. He went on to win the first of his four consecutive world titles. Ranked first in the compulsory figures and second in free skating, he won the gold medal as the U.S. swept the men's podium at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. He retired from competitive skating after winning his fourth world title later in the same year. The brothers received financial support from the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and a foundation. Competitive highlights
