‘U miss my body?’: Anthony Jennings, Maris Racal exposed as cheaters by actor’s ex-girlfriend

MANILA, Philippines — Actor Anthony Jennings found himself at the center of controversy after his ex-girlfriend, Jamela Villanueva, shared alleged evidence of his intimate conversations with onscreen partner Maris Racal.

Villanueva took to Instagram to expose their late-night exchanges, suggesting these contributed to the end of her relationship with Jennings.

Villanueva posted screenshots of what she described as flirty messages and phone calls between Jennings and Racal. She also shared photos hinting at deeper intimacy, including one where the two appeared to be kissing.

In her posts, Villanueva opened up about the pain of staying silent:

“I’ve been trying to hold myself together through everything that’s been happening. But after hearing all the things being said about me, about my character, my intentions, and even my family — I can’t stay silent any longer. It’s been deeply painful, and I know it’s no longer just about me. It’s about protecting the people I love most, and I can’t allow them to be dragged into this.”

Villanueva revealed that her relationship with Jennings had been strained since June, but she initially supported his pairing with Racal in the Netflix TV series “Can’t Buy Me Love.” However, as suspicions grew, she chose to confront the issue.

“When Maris came into the picture, I was genuinely happy for you both. I even chose to be supportive, despite the red flags I couldn’t ignore. I respected your craft. I believed in you both. But betrayal like this cuts deep,” she wrote.

Villanueva ended her posts by reflecting on her seven-year relationship with Jennings, expressing both gratitude for their shared memories and sadness over how it ended.

She said her decision to speak up was not meant to stir controversy but to reclaim her peace and address the hurt caused by their breakup.
