Eumir Marcial’s wife accuses Olympian of cheating

MANILA, Philippines — The wife of Olympian boxer Eumir Marcial revealed on Friday night, January 10, that she has taken legal action against him after discovering his alleged affair last year. 

Princess Jenniel G. Marcial wrote a long post on Facebook about the alleged affair between Marcial and his mistress who was named Jessa. 

Princess said that she feels that she “owes” the truth to the public who has witnessed her marriage to the champion boxer for 14 years. She also revealed that the issue took a toll on her mental and emotional health in the past months. 

Marcial’s wife gave some details of the alleged affair that she caught in a condominium in October last year. This led to the Olympian and his alleged mistress being temporarily detained for five days. 

“I caught Eumir having an affair in October last year. I, along with my sister, have personally caught them inside an Airbnb condominium in Pasay where we had them both arrested at a police station. Eumir and his mistress, Jessa, both had to be temporarily detained for five (5) days,” Princess wrote. 

She revealed that she gave Eumir multiple chances to save their marriage, “putting into consideration all that we have gone through and the difficult things we have survived as a couple,” despite her family’s strong disapproval. 

Princess said she gave Eumir’s release permission by signing an affidavit of desistance while the boxer’s alleged mistress signed the compromise agreement. She, however, said that her initial thoughts of giving Eumir another chance to correct his mistake led to the boxer to “further manipulating me.” 

“Little did I know that what started as a small act quickly grew to a sickening love affair with his young mistress from his hometown in Zamboanga City. Currently, I’ve managed to maintain some correspondence with some of our mutual and trusted friends in Zamboanga City where they alluded that Eumir and his mistress have decided to live together. Apparently, he withdrew all our savings and used the money to construct a house for him and his mistress in Zamboanga. I also have friends who have personally seen them together,” Princess said. 

Eumir’s wife said that she cannot release any
