Jose Manalo leaves family for another woman?

Jose Manalo has a mistress?

Jose Manalo is having an affair with another woman, Annalyn, the comedian's wife, revealed in an interview with "The Buzz" over the weekend.

Annalyn added that Jose has "abandoned" his family since January 6.

"Sa pagkakaalam ko, at alam na alam na naming lahat, mayroon at marami na rin akong pruweba na totoo nga ito—totoo ngang may babae siya. Totoo pong [inabandona kami]. Umalis siya January 6 this year, pero yung mga bagay na ito, alam ko na last year pa. Since January, alam ko na ang nangyayari. Tinitiis ko lang lahat ito para sa mga bata," said Annalyn.

"The Buzz" tried to get Jose's side of the story but he refused to be interviewed.

It can be recalled that in 2009, Jose's wife got herself into a multi-million jewelry scam lawsuit which prompted the "Eat Bulaga" host to file a leave of absence from the show to spare it from the issue. Jose had defended his non-showbiz wife, saying she is not a "swindler."
