Billy mum on Nikki's statements about split



MANILA – Actor Billy Crawford said he has yet to watch the interview of his former girlfriend, singer Nikki Gil, who spoke for the first time about their split. In an interview with ABS-CBN News during the premiere night of his latest film “Momzillas” on Tuesday, Crawford refused to comment on the statements which Gil made, saying he has not yet seen the video. “Hindi ko pa napapanood,” Crawford briefly said. During Gil’s “Bandila” guesting, she said it was primarily their difference in values that prompted the breakup. “If I were to give a reason for it, because I don’t think it was never made clear, the difference is in values. It’s one of the things na napakaimportante, na pareho kayo ng pinaniniwalaan, ng values. It has to be the same. Otherwise it won’t work,” she said. Asked what she thinks went wrong in their relationship, Gil said: “I wish I knew. I think more importantly, what’s happening now is more important. There’s no use looking back. I just want to be excited for the things to come.” But when asked if there was a third party involved, Gil gave this short but meaningful answer: “At this point, I don’t think it’s any of my business anymore.” While Gil left viewers wondering because she did not answer the question directly, ABS-CBN News posed the same question to Crawford on Tuesday. “I’ve said it before, there’s no third party. It’s whatever everybody else thinks right?” he said. According to Gil, she has learned a lot from their breakup and she feels like she is currently “at the center of God’s will for my life.” “In every relationship, kapag bumangon ka mula sa pagkakadapa, of course you’re in pain for a while but in hindsight you’ll realize the things that you’ve learned about yourself, about being a partner -- which will only equip you for your future partner,” she said.

Nikki on being friends with Billy: In due time





MANILA – Singer-actress Nikki Gil did not mind walking the red carpet of the Star Magic Ball alone, unlike in the previous years when she attended the annual event with former boyfriend Billy Crawford. In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Gil said she is enjoying her current single status, adding that she loves exploring new things by herself. “Pinagdasal ko lang talaga to be okay so that we can move on and enjoy the more exciting things that life is throwing my way,” she said. She added: “Wala akong date. I’m good. I’m fine. I’m okay. I’m happy and better. I’ve moved on.” Asked if she is open to be friends with Crawford again, she said: “Maybe in due time. Someday, we’ll see.” The well-loved celebrity couple broke up last last July, with Crawford citing his being "lost" as one of the reasons behind the split. Meanwhile, Gil denied that she is seeing someone again after her split with Crawford, her boyfriend for almost five years. “No, I’m not. I’m enjoying being single. Just enjoying being single,” she said, adding that she is happy to be surrounded by friends who have stayed by her side even during difficult times.

Nikki moves on, erases Billy's photos


MANILA -- Followers of Nikki Gil online were surprised to discover early this week that the singer-actress had erased all photos of her boyfriend of almost five years, Billy Crawford, from her page on Instagram. As of Wednesday, Gil's account on the popular image-sharing service, which has over 387,000 followers, no longer has any photos with Crawford in it. A number of followers expressed sadness over the photos of the former couple being deleted, with user swaggurl4344 commenting, "You deleted all your photos with Billy Crawford. Oh no what happened? im deeply saddened :'(" Others, however, supported the "ASAP" mainstay's move, with user _andreyaahhh saying, "this is her ig account. she can do whatever. delete pics and all... just let her move on... you all are not helping with those comments." The last photo of Gil and Crawford on her Instagram page, which has since been deleted, showed the former couple getting cozy after an "absolutely perfect" day sometime in June. Earlier in May, on the occasion of Crawford's 31st birthday, Gil also posted a collage of photos of the "It's Showtime" co-host, with the caption, "Happiest Birthday to my best friend, my happy thought, my dream come true @billyjoecrawford." "You are a blessing to everyone around you. I love you! PS These photos still make me swoon every time I see them #TheHumstermeier," the caption said. Last Sunday, in a birthday speech on "ASAP" that addressed the breakup for the first time, Gil said, "I've got my birthday wish and that's to be whole again."

Nikki Gil: I'm back!


Singer-host celebrates 26th birthday MANILA -- Nikki Gil is back in the grind as a TV host, VJ, and "ASAP" mainstay, following a brief vacation and her controversial break-up with long-time boyfriend Billy Crawford. Gil resumed work as a regular VJ of music channel MYX on Thursday, and took to image-sharing service Instagram to express excitement about being reunited with her "family." "I'm back!" she said in the accompanying caption of a photo showing her striking goofy poses at the MYX studio. On the eve of August 23, her birthday, Gil also shared an Instagram video of a "salubong" of her 26th year, as she celebrated it with colleagues from MYX. The "Apoy sa Dagat" actress, who was inactive on social media after her separation from Crawford in July, resumed interacting with her followers last week, with a post showing a "meaningful vacay that was." In the past week, Gil also chronicled her return to the Sunday concert program "ASAP" by posting photos of rehearsals, her co-stars, and her latest on-stage performance. Since her high-profile break-up in July, Gil has remained tight-lipped on the issue despite numerous reports linking Crawford to an alleged third party in the relationship, which he has repeatedly denied.

Nikki has message for Billy


MANILA -- Nikki Gil opted to give a short message when asked to air her side on her separation from her partner of almost five years, Billy Crawford. The 25-year-old actress-singer, who has repeatedly declined to be interviewed on the matter, was recently approached by entertainment talk show "Showbiz Inside Report" to once again request for her statement on the break-up. In her first statement since the issue erupted in late July, Gil, through a text sent to the ABS-CBN program, only gave a brief message for her former boyfriend. "I wish him well," she said. Last Sunday, in a live interview on "The Buzz," a tearful Crawford said the separation "all boils down to me." The 31-year-old actor added he is set to leave for the United States this month to "find myself" and spend time with his parents. Although Gil has largely kept mum on the break-up, a common friend of the couple, singer Gary Valenciano, shared his recent encounter with the actress. According to Valenciano, Gil became emotional when he offered her a hug. "Sabi ko, 'Hi, Nikki!' I went like that," Valenciano, who is Gil's fellow "ASAP" mainstay, said in an interview aired Saturday on "Showbiz Inside Report." "And then she looked at me. Siguro alam niya na alam ko. Sabi ko, 'Hey, let me give you a hug.' Pag-akap ko sa kanya parang bumigay siya nang kaunti," he said. Crawford, for his part, has had to address rumors romantically linking him to his "It's Showtime" co-host Coleen Garcia. The "Bright Lights" hitmaker reiterated, as he emphasized in his "The Buzz" interview, that no third party was involved in the break-up.

Coleen Garcia denies causing Billy-Nikki breakup


MANILA – “It’s Showtime” host Coleen Garcia distanced herself from the recent breakup of singers Nikki Gill and Billy Crawford. This after many netizens accused Garcia as the "third party" in the former couple's four-year long relationship. In an interview with the entertainment website Pep.ph, Garcia said people should not put malice to her closeness to Crawford because all of them on “It’s Showtime” are like family. “Ang masasabi ko lang, there’s nothing going on between me and Billy. I’m close to him but I’m close to everybody in 'Showtime.' Huwag sanang bigyan ng kulay 'yun saka wala akong kinalaman sa breakup nila. I think that’s a very sensitive topic so ayoko talagang makisawsaw dun,” she said. Garcia shared Crawford has already apologized to her since her name is being dragged into the issue. “Well, he apologized na nasama ako dito, so 'yun lang naman. He texted, ‘Sorry ha na nasama ka sa isyu na ito.’ Sabi ko, ‘It’s okay, I understand naman kasi showbiz nga.’ I have thought about it. Siguro kasi ako lang ang single sa 'Showtime,'” she said. Garcia said she is not anymore surprised that issues like this exist. “I thought about it, showbiz is full of rumors. Siguro I’m not surprised. People want to know certain answers and they will not get it from me, kasi wala talaga akong alam diyan. It’s part of it, it’s part of the job na rumors come and go,” she said. According to Garcia, she will not be affected by any kind of intrigues as long as she knows the truth and she is not stepping on someone. On Tuesday, an exasperated Crawford lashed out at critics for dragging Garcia's name into his controversial break-up with Gil. "What the hell is wrong with you people? There is nothing about me and Coleen! You guys are just so wrong, man," he said. He challenged his critics to face him, and went on to call them "narrow-minded" for discussing others' personal lives without any intimate knowledge of their relationships. "May problema kayo sa akin, ako na Lang. Huwag ninyong idamay mga taong walang kinalaman sa hiwalayan namin ni Nikki. Punta kayo sa ABS, harapin nyo ako. Lakas nyo magsalita tungkol sa kung anong nangyayari eh. Pero wala kayong alam!!! "As much as im lost and unhappy. You guys got major problems with your lives. Narrow minded people! Open your eyes and look in the mirror and ask your self. Are you content with your life talking about others? Of course not, you guys are perfect! May God bless you all!!! Not even being sarcastic. Bless you all," he said.

Fuming Billy blasts critics, clears Coleen


MANILA -- An exasperated Billy Crawford lashed out at critics Monday for dragging Coleen Garcia's name into his controversial break-up with Nikki Gil, his girlfriend of almost 5 years. The 31-year-old singer took to the image-sharing service Instagram to address netizens who claimed Garcia, Crawford's "It's Showtime" co-host, had a part in his separation from Gil. Crawford, who uses the Instagram handle "billyjoecrawford," made the comment on a photo posted by comedian-host Vice Ganda under his account "praybeytbenjamin." The photo, which shows Vice Ganda with his co-hosts on "It's Showtime" -- Jugs Jugueta, Teddy Corpuz, Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Jhong Hilario and Ryan Bang -- is captioned, "I missed my Showtime sibs a lot. Great to be back." Vice Ganda was recently on leave from the noontime program to recover from polyps found in his vocal cords. He returned on Monday, July 29. The same day marked the start of Crawford's prolonged leave from "It's Showtime," which he announced in a live interview on "The Buzz" Sunday. Although Crawford was not in the photo posted by Vice Ganda on Monday, the singer's name was brought up in the comments when a number of netizens speculated on his break-up with Gil. The "Bright Lights" hitmaker, in his "The Buzz" interview, emphasized there was no third party in the relationship. He only said that he needed to "find myself," which is also the reason why he will be leaving the country to spend time with his parents. A number of netizens, however, insisted on discussing the supposed romance between Garcia and Crawford, which the latter answered through his own comment. "What the hell is wrong with you people? There is nothing about me and Coleen! You guys are just so wrong, man," he said. He challenged his critics to face him, and went on to call them "narrow-minded" for discussing others' personal lives without any intimate knowledge of their relationships. "May problema kayo sa akin, ako na Lang. Huwag ninyong idamay mga taong walang kinalaman sa hiwalayan naming ni Nikki. Punta kayo sa ABS, harapin nyo ako Lakas nyo magsalita tunkol sa kung anong nangyayari eh. Pero wala kayong alam!!! "As much as im lost and unhappy. You guys got major problems with your lives. Narrow minded people! Open your eyes and look in the mirror and ask your self. Are you content with your life talking about others? Of course not, you guys are perfect! May God bless you all!!! Not even being sarcastic. Bless you all," he said.

Billy Crawford says he and Nikki Gil do not want to rush into marriage


Billy Crawford denied that he got jealous of Patrick Garcia who starred with Billy’s long-time girlfriend, Nikki Gil, in the pilot week of the teleserye Apoy Sa Dagat. Patrick and Nikki portrayed star-crossed lovers who had twin daughters played by Angelica Panganiban. Since Patrick and Nikki were required to act as a couple who are very passionate and very much in love with each other, Billy allegedly got jealous and had a rift with Nikki that lasted for a week. Billy, however, denied this in a recent interview. “Unang-una, siya (Nikki) ang unang-unang lumapit sa akin at nagtanong kung okay lang… bilang respeto rin naman niya sa akin ‘yon,” related the It’s Showtime and Pilipinas Got Talent host. “Pero trabaho niya ‘yon, wala naman akong magagawa.” Billy added that he was not able to watch those episodes with Nikki and Patrick, but knew that the two garnered a lot of positive feedback for their convincing portrayals. Nevertheless, the international pop star is very proud of Nikki, who got rave reviews for her short but notable performance. “Nabitin ako for her performance,” said Billy.
