Frlekin and Pardo share two children, a boy, and a girl, with whom Pardo spends as much time as he can. Regarding family, Frlekin was born into a large household and has remained close with her sister and former bandmate, Stephanie Arnow. The two seem inseparable, with Arnow being ever-present in her sister's life.
Nowadays, Frlekin spends much of her time being a wife and mother. However, she used to be very active in the celebrity world when she was part of a music band and made red-carpet appearances.
Emily Is One of Many Siblings
Frlekin was born into an enormous household on April 30, 1982. Although not many details are publicly known about the siblings, her sister, Stephanie Arnow, posted a picture from their childhood showing her siblings together, posing for a group photo. It was captioned:
"I know #nationalsiblingday was yesterday, but we were all preoccupied with supporting each other through some stuff and I missed it. These are mine. We don’t always like each other, but we always love each other, no matter what."
Arnow and Frlekin have remained very close throughout their lives and even became bandmates at one stage. Stephanie has a strong interest in music and has worked in that industry for many years. Before then, she had attained her education at Los Angeles Pierce College and Concordia University, Irvine.
Frlekin attended the University of California, Berkeley, where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. After graduation, she worked as a project manager for the Black Card circle, beginning in 2011.
Emily Frlekin's Band Created a Soundtrack for a Film
In the 2000s, Frlekin and Arnow were part of the musical group Shorty 101. The band of four girls achieved relative popularity, which peaked after they had recorded a soundtrack for the second installment of the "Nutty Professor," a film that features some Hollywood top names such as Eddie Murphy, Janet Jackson, and Wanda Sykes.
The history of Shorty 101 is not readily available in public circles; hence, it's difficult to tell when the band broke off. However, before they did, they attended various red-carpet events, including movie premieres, showing they were a considerable force.
After the band ended its operations, Frlekin went into various other more personal projects. Up to 2011, she had a blog that discussed her trips to Argentina and has worked for the Black Card Circle Foundation since that year. However, from her Instagram, she is now primarily a mother and wife.

The exact date of their wedding is unknown. Nevertheless, Frlekin gave birth to their first child, daughter Lily-Rose, in November 2015. Almost three years later, the couple welcomed a son born on July 13, 2018. As always, Arnow, who seemed to be always on her sister's side, made the announcement.
