Maris Racal was spotted with a mystery guy

Netizens shared their reactions following the viral photos of Kapamilya actress Maris Racal with a mystery man.

Maris’s love life was quite controversial. Her first public relationship was with actor-singer Inigo Pascual. Their relationship ended in December 2018, but they maintained a friendship.

Inigo even showed support for her after her split from singer-songwriter Rico Blanco. Maris and Rico’s breakup was controversial. Their five-year relationship ended after the actress admitted she developed feelings for a co-star, actor Anthony Jennings, in 2024.

Maris Racal was accused of cheating with her onscreen partner at that time. Her private conversations with Anthony were leaked by the latter’s ex-girlfriend.

However, Maris and Anthony stopped the connection between them, even though they had some projects following the controversy.

In early 2026, viral cozy photos surfaced online of Maris alongside the vocalist of the band Cup of Joe. However, it was thought by showbiz fans that it was just a sort of collaboration project.

Just recently, netizens on Reddit talked about a post shared in r/PinoyCelebs. Maris and her mystery man were riding a train. Apparently, this was taken abroad.

In the comment section of the post, netizens expressed various reactions. Some took notice of how Maris was able to come back after the controversy, while some still had that kind of animosity toward her. Here are some comments.

Meanwhile, Maris Racal was hailed as the Best Actress at the 9th EDDYS. Her first-ever Best Actress win was from the Society of Filipino Film Reviewers (SFFR) for her independent film Sunshine. She portrays a young gymnast who discovers she is pregnant right before national team tryouts.

Maris has come a long way since she started her showbiz career through the Kapamilya reality show, Pinoy Big Brother.
