In an emotional Instagram post on December 3, Jamela Villanueva, the ex-girlfriend of actor Anthony Jennings, exposed secret messages between Jennings and his love team partner, Maris Racal, prior to their breakup. Villanueva shared screenshots of private conversations she allegedly obtained from Jennings' phone, revealing intimate exchanges between the two.
Villanueva Speaks Out for Peace and Protection
Villanueva explained that she chose to share the truth in order to protect her peace and personal life after enduring years of public criticism. “I am sharing my truth for my peace and to protect my family and myself from being attacked by others,” she wrote. “It’s painful to be attacked when all I ever wanted was to protect my personal life—and protect him out of respect.” She described how she had been supportive of Jennings and Racal, despite sensing “red flags.”
Revelations of Secret Messages and Betrayal
One key revelation came from messages allegedly exchanged between Jennings and Racal in June, where the pair agreed to delete their conversations from each other’s phones. Villanueva claimed Jennings told her it was to "make [Racal] feel loved and appreciated" due to her personal struggles. The messages reportedly included flirtatious remarks, an invitation to visit Racal, and even a kiss at a party, which Jennings later admitted to Villanueva.
A Heartfelt Goodbye and Emotional Farewell
Villanueva wrote an open letter to Jennings, reflecting on their nearly seven-year relationship. “I allowed this to happen because I thought it was the best way to support them both. Most importantly, I trusted my partner and her—as a woman,” she said.
Previously, actors Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings confirmed their breakups with their respective partners, stating that their separations had nothing to do with each other.
