SHOCKING CONFESSION! Jessie Mendiola Finally Admits Involvement as Alleged Third Party in Angel Locsin and Luis Manzano’s Painful Breakup!

In a revelation that has reignited one of the most talked-about love triangles in Philippine showbiz history, actress Jessy Mendiola has finally spoken out about the long-standing rumors linking her as the alleged third party in the controversial breakup of Luis Manzano and Angel Locsin. After years of silence, whispers, and social media battles, the truth has finally come to light — and it’s far more emotional than fans expected.

The Love Story That Captivated Millions

Once upon a time, Luis Manzano and Angel Locsin were the picture-perfect couple in showbiz. Their on-screen chemistry and real-life romance made headlines, with many believing that wedding bells were just around the corner. Fans adored their public displays of affection, sweet interviews, and matching charity work. But in 2016, the dream ended — with the pair announcing their breakup under mysterious and unexplained circumstances.

Though both parties remained mostly respectful and private about the split, the public couldn’t help but speculate. Rumors swirled about jealousy, growing apart, and — most persistently — the involvement of Jessy Mendiola, who, just months later, would be seen dating Luis.

The Timing That Raised Eyebrows

Jessy and Luis made their relationship public shortly after the latter’s breakup with Angel — and netizens quickly connected the dots. Though Luis repeatedly denied that Jessy had anything to do with his previous relationship’s end, the timeline made it hard for many to believe.

Jessy, for her part, stayed silent — often choosing to rise above the controversy. But the whispers never went away. Online critics hounded her with accusations of being a “homewrecker” and called her out in every photo and public appearance. Despite her engagement and eventual marriage to Luis, the shadow of that accusation loomed large for years.

The Unexpected Confession

Now, nearly a decade later, Jessy Mendiola has broken her silence in a candid and emotional interview for a new documentary-style talk show titled “Her Truth”. The episode, which aired last weekend, featured Jessy recounting her journey in showbiz, motherhood, and — shockingly — her side of the Luis-Angel saga.

With teary eyes, Jessy admitted:

“I never wanted to be the reason for anyone’s pain… but I can’t deny that I entered Luis’ life at a very complicated time. Yes, he was hurting. Yes, there were still unresolved feelings. I didn’t mean to be ‘the other woman,’ but looking back now, I understand why people thought I was.”

Though Jessy clarified that she and Luis were not officially together while he was still in a relationship with Angel, she acknowledged that the transition was “too fast” and “too messy” — and that perhaps, in hindsight, more space and healing were needed before moving forward.

Angel Locsin’s Past Reaction

Fans have now resurfaced old interviews and social media posts by Angel Locsin, who at the time expressed deep sadness over her breakup with Luis. While she never directly blamed anyone, she once posted a cryptic tweet that read:

“Some wounds don’t hurt anymore… until you’re reminded who held the knife.”

At the time, fans interpreted the post as a jab at Jessy, though Angel never confirmed it. Still, the tension between the two actresses was palpable. They avoided each other at events, unfollowed each other on social media, and never shared a word in public.

Now, with Jessy’s confession, many are calling for closure and even reconciliation.

Public Reaction: Mixed Emotions

Social media exploded after the interview aired. While some praised Jessy for her honesty and bravery, others criticized the timing of the revelation.

“Too little, too late,” one netizen wrote. “She’s only coming clean now because it’s safe.”

“She didn’t owe us anything — but this shows she’s human too. Everyone makes mistakes,” commented another.

Even long-time fans of Angel Locsin were divided, with some expressing newfound sympathy for Jessy and others demanding justice for the emotional toll the breakup may have caused.

Luis Manzano Breaks His Silence

Just hours after the interview aired, Luis Manzano released a short but pointed statement on his Instagram story:

“We’ve all made choices we thought were right at the time. What matters is how we grow from them. Love, peace, and respect to everyone involved.”

The statement, though vague, was seen by many as a way to finally close the chapter — acknowledging the emotional chaos of the past without assigning blame.

A Decade Later: Where Are They Now?

Today, Luis and Jessy are happily married with a daughter, forming what many see as a beautiful family. Jessy has taken a step back from acting to focus on motherhood, while Luis continues to thrive as a TV host and entrepreneur.

Angel Locsin, on the other hand, has shifted her focus to humanitarian work. Though she married businessman Neil Arce in 2021, she has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, choosing to live a more private, meaningful life outside showbiz.

Whether or not Angel will respond to Jessy’s confession remains to be seen. Some insiders believe she has long moved on and is unlikely to reignite old flames — especially in public.

Final Thoughts: A Painful But Necessary Truth?

Jessy Mendiola’s revelation has brought an old wound back into the spotlight, but for many, it was a necessary part of healing — not just for her, but for fans who were emotionally invested in the love stories that defined a generation.

While the pain of the past can never be erased, the willingness to confront it with honesty may be the key to moving forward.

One thing’s for sure — in the world of showbiz, the truth always finds a way to shine through.
