In a shocking revelation, actress Jessy Mendiola has opened up about a tumultuous period in her marriage to TV host Luis Manzano. During a recent “Truth or Dare” vlog, Mendiola candidly shared that she had reached a point where she seriously contemplated ending her relationship with Manzano, even going so far as to inform his mother, veteran actress Vilma Santos, of her decision.
The actress recounted a time when she felt overwhelmed by the negative influence of certain individuals in Manzano’s life. “There were people around him who were bad,” Mendiola shared. “It got to a point where I felt like I had to choose between them and my marriage.”
A particularly contentious incident occurred shortly after their wedding. Mendiola recalled someone close to Manzano who had a personal vendetta against her and went to great lengths to sabotage their relationship. “They started a fight with me the day after our wedding,” she revealed. “I realized they had a dark secret and that’s why they were so angry.”
Mendiola’s intuition led her to confront Manzano about her concerns, but her warnings were resisted. “He wouldn’t listen,” she said. “He defended these people, saying they were like family. But I felt like I was the one who wasn’t part of the family.”
The rift between the couple deepened when Manzano expressed a desire to start a family, while Mendiola felt he wasn’t ready. “I told Luis’ mom I couldn’t do it anymore,” Mendiola confessed. “I loved her, but I felt like my husband wasn’t listening to me.”
Despite the challenges they faced, Mendiola and Manzano were able to work through their differences. “It wasn’t easy,” Mendiola admitted. “But gradually, Luis was able to distance himself from those people.”
While the couple did not explicitly identify the specific individuals involved or the exact nature of the issues they faced, their candid discussion has sparked widespread interest and concern among their fans.
Mendiola’s revelation serves as a reminder that even seemingly perfect relationships can experience turbulence. Her story offers hope to others who may be facing similar challenges in their own marriages. By sharing her experience, Mendiola has demonstrated the importance of open communication, trust, and perseverance in overcoming adversity.
