Jamela Villanueva, the former girlfriend of rising actor Anthony Jennings, has taken a step into the spotlight, landing a billboard along EDSA as the newest celebrity ambassador for Ampong Dental Essentials.
On January 28, the dental clinic unveiled its latest campaign featuring Jamela, showcasing her radiant smile with the tagline, “Every Smile Tells a Perfect Story.” The announcement, shared on social media, highlighted the brand’s excitement over its fresh collaboration.
“Our billboard is up! Meet our newest ambassador, Jamela Villanueva, as she joins Ampong Dental Essentials in celebrating fresh beginnings,” the clinic captioned its Facebook post.
Jamela’s rise in prominence follows her highly publicized past relationship with Anthony Jennings, one of the breakout stars of ABS-CBN’s hit series Can’t Buy Me Love, where he plays Snoop Manansala.
Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings
Jennings’s onscreen partner in the show is Maris Racal, an actress, singer-songwriter, and influencer who was previously in a relationship with OPM legend Rico Blanco.
The love triangle involving Anthony, Maris, and Rico recently made waves online, as rumors swirled that Jennings played a role in Maris and Rico’s breakup. The long-term couple, known for their significant 25-year age gap, reportedly ended their relationship due to Maris’s growing closeness with her Can’t Buy Me Love co-star. While none of the parties involved have directly confirmed the allegations, fans have speculated about their chemistry both on and off-screen.
Jamela’s post-breakup glow-up
Since her breakup with Anthony, Jamela Villanueva has been turning heads with her online presence. On January 6, she celebrated her birthday with a striking video selfie, subtly hinting at personal growth and renewal. The post, captioned with a wilted flower and sparkles emoji, received an outpouring of love from her followers.
Adding to the intrigue, Jamela recently shared a thought-provoking TikTok video featuring motivational speaker Jay Shetty, emphasizing the importance of self-forgiveness and healing after emotional pain.
The clip resonated with many, particularly as it encouraged people to let go of guilt and self-blame when others make them feel unimportant—further fueling speculation about her past relationship with Anthony Jennings.
Moving forward
While Anthony Jennings and Maris Racal continue to dominate primetime television, Jamela Villanueva is proving that she, too, is making waves in her own way. She embraces new opportunities with a new endorsement deal, a billboard in one of Metro Manila’s busiest areas, and a growing social media presence. She celebrates fresh beginnings, as her campaign suggests.
