Gonzales returned to the mainland US, residing in Kansas City and working for radio stations KXXR X106 and KBEW-Q104. Afterwards, she went back to her home town of Albuquerque, to work with KANW 89.1 and KKSS 97.3 KISS FM, and then moved to Oxnard to work with the radio station KCAQ Q104.7.

QVC
In 2002, Jacque moved to Westchester, Pennsylvania to work with the television home shopping network QVC, the flagship shopping channel specializing in televised home shopping owned by the Qurate Retail Group. It is one of the most popular home shopping channels broadcast around the world to over 350 million households. She was discovered by a company executive while doing hosting work in Honolulu and the executive felt that she had the right feel for becoming an on air shopping host. She became the company’s electronics diva, crazy crafter, shoe addict, and silver fanatic. While she initially did not like the move to another state, she mentioned that Westchester is a beautiful area, and that she’d like to stay there on a more permanent basis, even after more than a decade with the company. She also started working on the channel’s website as a blogger, sharing stories and snippets of her life.
Personal Life
For her personal life, it is known that Gonzales has been married to Jim since 2002 and their wedding was attended by numerous QVC personalities, including Patti Reilly and Dan Hughes who were also present during the bridal party. According to reports, the two met while working at QVC, as her husband is a financial consultant for the big company. They have a daughter together, and she also has a stepson from Jim’s previous relationship.
In 2016, it was revealed that she was diagnosed with a mass in her right breast, but it was later discovered that it was non-cancerous, though it did cause a bit of a scare. Since then she has been helping bring awareness of the importance of mammograms which earned her more praise.
Leaving QVC
In 2017, Jacque announced through social media that she was leaving QVC after 15 years of working with the company. She then started new social media accounts, as those existing were still tied to the company. Through her own website/blog, she mentioned that she had to leave her work to focus more on her health, as she was having numerous troubles, and also wanted to have more time for her daughter. She remains highly active online, connecting with her followers and working on the content of her blog., which is focused on food, health, and beauty topics among many others. She also consistently posts on her various social media accounts, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
