I can’t verify his biological father’s name. What I only know is that his mother got married to a man surnamed Jenkins which later ended in divorce, therefore Mike was known as Michael Allen Jenkins. I’m not sure if Mike legally changed his last name to Inez (exact spelling, although his birth last name is exactly Ines).
