The 31-year-old Billy Crawford although confirmed that he is wooing Coleen Garcia but he clarifies that the 21-year-old actress is not yet his girlfriend. He was quoted as saying “Yes, nililigawan ko. She is not my girlfriend yet, and I would love for her to be.” he stated.
During the interview with “Buzz ng Bayan” the Fil-Am host-singer made his official statement after a viral picture of him and Coleen Garcia became the latest talk of the town in the past few days. Billy Crawford set the records straight, hoping that his statement will put an end to accusations about him and Coleen.
Billy Crawford was quoted as saying “Coleen and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend. We are not a couple yet. That’s pretty much it,” he said. He admitted, however, that he and Coleen indeed met up in New York for a date.
The former French international hitmaker Billy Crawford made the following statement during his interview with “Buzz ng Bayan”:
“It’s vacation time. The ‘Showtime’ family, we all had different places to go. I was talking to Coleen and I said I was going to New York to see old friends, to see my family. And then Coleen said, ‘Oh, I’ll be in New York too, with my friend.’ And then later before leaving, I found out that Ryan Bang was also going to New York. We met up with Ryan as well,” he said.
“But to be honest with you, yes, I did ask Coleen to watch the game with me before leaving. I bought the tickets beforehand and I said, ‘You know what, I would love to go there in New York and actually spend time with you, to watch the game and have dinner,’” he explained, referring to the NBA match between the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks at the Barclays Center in New York City last December 27.
Although Billy Crawford already admitted that he is indeed courting Coleen Garcia he denied the rumors that Coleen is the third party that led to the break-up of his relationship with long time girlfriend Nikki Gil.
Billy was quoted as saying “I kept my mouth shut. I didn’t talk. I think that was my fault. But ako, pinanindigan ko ‘yung sa akin and kung ano ang alam ko, and Coleen is definitely not part of my past relationship at all,” he said.
