Singer-actress Geraldine Jennings addressed recent speculation linking her to controversial Kapamilya actor Anthony Jennings, since both share the same surname.
Some fans have even raised questions about their potential family connection, especially in light of Anthony’s ongoing personal issues with his former girlfriend, Jamella Villanueva, and his love team partner, Maris Racal.
During the launch of her single “If I Will Ever Love Again,” Geraldine was asked if she and Anthony were related. She responded that she was unsure, although she acknowledged the possibility, as both share roots in the United Kingdom.
In response to the growing public interest in her thoughts on the controversy surrounding Anthony, Maris, and Jamella, Geraldine offered her perspective, choosing not to take sides.
“I am not on anyone’s side at all,” she said. “I think all three have faults in what happened. My advice for Maris and Anthony is to take accountability for their actions. If your apologies come from the heart, they will come across as sincere to everyone.”
She added that blaming others was not a productive way to handle the situation. “Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s completely normal. But being genuine and accepting responsibility will help in the long run, especially with your career, as people will see the sincerity.”
Geraldine also offered support for Jamella, noting the pain of heartbreak. “I feel for you, Jam,” she said. “Pain is normal, and many people have gone through it with their exes. It would be better in the future not to share personal messages publicly, as it can cause more harm than good.”
She also emphasized the importance of handling personal matters with grace. “I believe in standing up for mental health, but it should be done in a logical and classy way, without airing dirty laundry.”
Geraldine concluded with a call to end the “cancel culture” surrounding the issue. “We all make mistakes, and no one person is to blame,” she said. “These people are in the spotlight, and their mistakes are exposed. We shouldn’t cancel Maris, Anthony, or Jam because they’ve likely learned from this.”
Geraldine’s take on the controversy has garnered attention, with some fans noting that her song “If I Will Ever Love Again” would be a fitting “hugot” song for Jamella.
