Everything to know about My Life With the Walter Boys star Nikki Rodriguez (Jackie)

Netflix has finally released the teen series My Life With the Walter Boys, and it follows the life of 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), who becomes orphaned after she loses her entire family in a tragic accident. Since her only living relative is too busy with work, her only other option is to move cross-country to live with her late mother’s best friend and her family in rural Colorado.

Jackie is still grappling with her parents and sister’s death when she arrives in the small town of Silver Falls, so she’s not really up to socializing with her new family and peers. Now, she’s determined more than ever to do whatever is required to get into her dream school, Princeton. But she soon finds her focus shifted when she falls for two boys. Those two boys happen to be her new legal guardian’s sons. Talk about complicated!

In speaking of Jackie, the actress behind the role, Nikki Rodriguez, is someone you might recognize. She previously appeared in another Netflix teen series, and you absolutely have to meet her! Read on to learn everything there is to know about the My Life With the Walter Boys star.

Before taking on the role of Jackie in My Life With the Walter Boys, Nikki had portrayed the role of Vero in On My Block season 4. Vero was introduced as Cesar Diaz’s new girlfriend in the fourth season. Before her role as Vero, Nikki had appeared in one episode each of the TV shows Adam Ruins Everything and Speechless.
