Rico Blanco remained mum on the alleged cheating conversations between his ex-girlfriend Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings as bared by the latter’s girlfriend, Jamela Villanueva.
Racal and Jennings made headlines after Villanueva exposed their alleged intimate conversations on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday night, December 3 as a way of “protecting [her] peace.”
Blanco, on the other hand, maintained his silence on the expose and simply shared his unforgettable memories from his recent gigs in Alaminos, Cainta, Bulacan, and Manila, on the same day.
“Some snaps from the last 10 days. Thank you Alaminos, Cainta, Bulacan, Manila. Up next @howlersmanila. See you on Saturday,” he wrote on his Instagram page.
He also reshared a clip from a fan on his Instagram Story while thanking her for the support.

Blanco’s post was filled with supportive messages from netizens, with some noting that he was “saved from the wrong person,” apparently alluding to Racal.

The musician, however, had limited access to his comments section, as of press time.
Racal confirmed her split with Blanco in a Star Magic press conference in July 2024, reiterating that there was no “third party” involved in their breakup. She also pointed out that Jennings is “out of the picture” and it’s a matter between the both of them.
“Anthony is out of the picture. It’s just me and Rico,” she said. “If I could still talk to him every day, I would… ang hirap lang mag-pretend, ang hirap din mag-construct ng sentence na alam mo namang totoong hindi ka okay (It’s hard to pretend. It’s hard to construct a sentence even if you know to yourself that you’re truly not okay).”
The Rivermaya frontman and Racal were together for five years but made their relationship public in June 2021.
Jennings and Villanueva, on the other hand, were in a relationship for seven years before parting ways sometime in 2024. It remains unknown when they exactly ended their romance.
