Billy has admitted courting "It's Showtime" co-host Coleen Garcia, while Nikki recently revealed in the February 19 episode of "Kris TV" that she’s dating a non-showbiz guy.
‘It felt right’
"It felt right," Nikki said about dating the new guy, whom she met through their common friends.
Nikki tried meeting other men after her breakup with Billy. But she didn't want to just 'go and explore' as she prefers someone who meets her qualifications.
"Binigyan ko rin naman yung chance yung self ko to meet, pero kasi hindi ko kaya. I don't want to play the game.”
Nikki reveals that the guy , 29, has an “adult job."
"I mean, sobrang different from what we do," she told Kris.
Nikki’s standards
When it comes to finding someone special, Nikki looks for a guy who is "godly, tall and has work." She shared that she’ doesn’t go on dates for the sake of dating and meeting people.
"Kapag wala yung mga iyon, huwag na lang. Parang waste of time, kung magkaiba kami ng values.".
Her strong Christian beliefs makes a deep relationship with God very important to Nikki .
"Hindi lang yung masabi lang na nagsisimba. I want someone that actually has a deep relationship with God. At siyempre, (dapat) may endorsement ng friends."
Forgetting Billy
Nikki admitted she no longer thinks of Billy. But she’s not jaded when it comes to love.
"Kasi parang alam mo na it's not like that all the time. Parang ito (past) ay nagkataon lang. That love isn't supposed to be like that. Hindi siya dapat masakit at hindi ka dapat iiyak."
Nikki and Billy’s relationship lasted six years. In a TV interview where he admitted the breakup, an emotional Billy revealed that he had to go on his own because he was confused and wanted to rediscover himself.
