‘Jay & Pamela’ Stars on Their ‘Heartbreak’ Over Her Family’s Disapproval of Relationship

Jay & Pamela star Pamela Chavez has been estranged from her family amid her relationship Jay Manuel. Because her parents don’t approve of the romance, Pamela relocated across state lines to move in with Jay in the basement of his mom and dad’s home.

Despite the disapproval of Pamela’s family, she and Jay, who both have Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 3 (OI), or brittle bone disorder, are going strong and opened up to Swooon about how they’re navigating the estrangement.
