Anthony Jennings just ended rumors about the status of his love life at the moment. The breakthrough Kapamilya actor disclosed the end of his long-term relationship with non-showbiz ex-partner, Jam Villanueva.
After some videos of a short interview with Anthony circulated online on November 30, 2024, Inquirer.net reported that Anthony briefly talked about his past relationship with entertainment reporter Allan Sancon.
According to the report, Anthony confirmed that he and Jam are no longer together and it has been months since the breakup occurred. The actor noted that the reason for their split had nothing to do with other people, but that he acknowledged his shortcomings and they had "personal issues."
"Months ago na rin kaming hiwalay ni Jam...Ako ‘yung may pagkukulang 'dun. Problema ko ‘yun and dapat ko ‘yon ayusin mag-isa," Anthony noted. He also emphasized his plea for the public and the fans to let Jam enjoy her private life.
Anthony also tried to put the speculations about his new romance with love team partner Maris Racal to rest. He clarified that he is only friends with Maris, hoping that they can now move on in peace. “Magkaibigan lang po kami and sana matigil na rin ‘yung mga ganong issues."

Anthony Jennings' romance
ICYDK, there have been speculations about whether Anthony and Maris are now together in real life. Maris just got out of her long-term relationship with Rico Blanco as well. When Maris announced her breakup from the singer in July 2024, Maris quickly shut down the romantic links to Anthony, underscoring that they are only colleagues. "Anthony is out of the picture," she strongly said in the interview.
Maris and Anthony's love team began after fans praised them for their chemistry as they starred in the series Can't Buy Me Love. In January 2025, the two will also be a part of the upcoming series Incognito along with Daniel Padilla, Richard Gutierrez, Ian Veneracion, Baron Geisler, and Cosmopolitan Philippines October 2024 cover star Kaila Estrada.
Meanwhile, Anthony and Jam's relationship—which began even before the height of Anthony's showbiz success—seemed to have faced difficulties this year. The Internet got wind of the situation after Jam posted (and reposted) some cryptic posts allegedly alluding to her relationship.
On November 1, 2024, Jam actually started a question-and-answer session via her Instagram Stories. One of the questions she received was, "Sis, bakit ‘yung galit mo parang kay Ate Girl lang? ‘Di ba dapat mas galit ka sa ex mo? Char."
The question was referring to reportedly cryptic posts from Jam that might have been her way of dropping hints about her relationship with Anthony. Jam boldly responded to the question with a lengthy statement. "They are just the same, the one who cheated and the one who tells and does inappropriate things to her workmate na ‘di naman kasama sa trabaho," she wrote as a response on her IG Story.
She continued to clarify her stance, declaring that she has been very much understanding of the circumstances that might have occurred inside the showbiz industry. However, without dropping names, she revealed that a couple of people went beyond what she called "boundaries." "Don't push it. I respected their work and industry and I know the boundaries, and they completely went beyond that," Jam disclosed.
