Maris Racal’s “Anthony is out of the picture” Remark resurfaces
MARIS RACAL – The actress’s remark during the confirmation of her breakup with Rico Blanco, stating that Anthony Jennings had no involvement in their separation, has resurfaced.
On July 12, 2024, Maris confirmed her breakup with the singer in a tearful statement during the Star Magic Spotlight event. She shared that the split occurred a few weeks prior, and while their five-year relationship was full of love, laughter, and music, she had gone through personal changes that led her to a new perspective on life.
Maris mentioned that it was a “polite” separation, emphasizing that it was a difficult decision as she still loved Rico deeply. She also clarified that her on-screen partner, Anthony Jennings, was not involved in the breakup, saying he’s “out of the picture.” She added, “It’s mainly me and Rico. Mainly me, I’m the issue.”
Although Maris acknowledged her emotional struggle, she asked for understanding from the public, urging them not to direct any negativity toward Rico. She explained that the breakup was primarily due to her own internal questions about her identity and future. Despite their split, Maris and Rico remained respectful toward each other, with Maris requesting privacy and love for both of them as they move forward.
Jam Villanueva recently sparked online discussions by sharing alleged inappropriate messages between her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Jennings, and his co-star, Maris Racal. Jam claimed these exchanges contributed to the end of their relationship. Although Anthony had publicly confirmed their breakup, he denied any romantic involvement with Maris, insisting they were just friends and co-workers. However, Jam’s posts suggested otherwise, pointing to a level of closeness she found inappropriate for colleagues.
Anthony explained the messages as part of “method acting” for their roles in Can’t Buy Me Love, where they portrayed the love team “SnoRene,” now popular as “MaThon.” Jam felt the exchanges crossed professional boundaries and decided to share her side of the story, explaining why the messages were unacceptable in their relationship.
