Maris Racal, a multi-talented actress and singer, and Anthony Jennings, her co-star in the popular series \u201cCan\u2019t Buy Me Love,\u201d have managed to captivate audiences without following the traditional love team formula in the Philippines. At 26 years old, Racal, with a net worth of approximately $1 million, hopes that their partnership will remind everyone that a love team doesn\u2019t need to be romantically involved to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During an interview at the finale press conference of \u201cCan\u2019t Buy Me Love,\u201d Maris Racal admitted that she initially accepted the notion that she wouldn\u2019t be part of a love team due to her age. \u201cI thought when I reached 25, \u2018I don\u2019t think I will be part of a love team.\u2019 In the Philippines, you must be young and single to be part of a love team. You must be a couple,\u201d she shared. This societal expectation had led her to believe that her path would focus solely on her career without the association of a love team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The turning point came with the entry of Anthony Jennings into her professional life. Jennings, who is romantically involved with a non-showbiz girlfriend for five years, and Racal, who is in a relationship with singer-songwriter Rico Blanco, proved that love teams can thrive on-screen without any real-life romantic entanglements. \u201cWe just did our jobs, it clicked, and people supported it. I hope this starts a culture that being in a love team is okay even if you\u2019re not a couple. You can do other endeavors,\u201d Racal emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Racal attributes the success of their on-screen partnership to Jennings’ instinctive acting style. \u201cAnthony is very instinctive when he acts. When I watched him do his nuances that aren\u2019t part of the script, I realized it was something I would do. We get each other. Maybe that\u2019s why we worked. The main ingredient is to study the character and script. You don\u2019t need to do all the gymnastics to get the attention. Just focus,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the on-screen chemistry between Racal and Jennings, Racal assured everyone that her real-life partner, Rico Blanco, is unfazed by the success of her love team. \u201cI know Rico. He is unfazed with the comments. He went through so much in show biz,\u201d she said, highlighting Blanco’s support and understanding of her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pairing of Racal and Jennings, known as SnoRene, derived from their characters\u2019 names Snoop and Irene, has garnered significant attention and admiration. They are set to collaborate on another project directed by JP Laxamana, promising more engaging performances for their fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
