ANTHONY Jennings has nothing to do with the breakup of Maris Racal and Rico Blanco.
This is what Maris clarified after ending her five-year relationship with the artist/singer Rico.
The public was saddened when Maris announced the end of their relationship and said that Anthony had no involvement in their decision with Rico.
The pairing of Maris and Anthony in the series Can’t Buy Me Love, where their loveteam was formed, became popular.
Yesterday, Maris revealed that her relationship with Rico has ended.
According to Racal, the separation happened a few weeks back. “It’s fresh. It’s been few weeks and (it’s) been loneliest, emptiest weeks I experienced in my life,” she said.
According to the actress, her five-year relationship with Blanco was full of love and laughter, which she thought would never end.
“Rico and I, our universe is so beautiful. It was full of love, laughter and music and everything, spontaneity everything. Sa five years namin together, we were always on the same page. Always on the same page. I don’t know what happened to me. Maybe I turned to the next page, saw new perspective sa life. I had a vision of who I want to become, how I want to evolve. So curious about the world, and the truth is I am going through changes and alam naman natin na changes either good or bad and what I hate about change is it’s inevitable. Hindi mo siya matatakasan and wala ka nang ibang gagawin kung ‘di to face it and confront it,” she explained.
“I told Rico about it and, I told him my problems my issues sa buhay and he took it like a man,” she said.
Without giving details on how the separation happened, the actress stressed that it was a “polite” separation.
“It was a very difficult talk because I love him so much. I love him and he loves me din, but I have so many questions about my life and how will I go on sa buhay with him. I have so many questions about me, my sense of self that was so difficult. But it was very polite separation,” she said emotionally.
Describing her five-year relationship with the singer-composer, Racal said it was full of love and one-of-a-kind.
“Up to the very end of our relationship, it was still full of love, full of understanding and Rico is one of a kind. If I could only skip through my 20s you know, but I can’t. I have to face it, I have to sit with my feelings and acknowledge my changes,” she said.
While confirming her breakup with Blanco, the actress also wants to clarify that her on-screen partner Jennings is “out of the picture.”
“It’s mainly me and Rico. Mainly me, I’m the issue,” she said.
