Nikki Gil Dating BJ Albert? | Nikki and Rumored New Boyfriend Spotted on a Date

Months after her controversial break up with singer Billy Crawford, her boyfriend of five years, Nikki Gil admitted that she's going out with someone now. 

In an episode of Kris TV aired Wednesday, Nikki Gil, who was a guest in the morning talk show along with comedian Pooh, revealed that she's been dating someone not from showbiz. This came after Kris Aquino blurted out that she saw Nikki with the guy in a mall.

"We surprisingly have a lot of common friends so everyone assumed na kilala na namin ang isa't isa," Nikki told Kris when asked how did she meet the new guy. 

Nikki also revealed that this new guy is a fellow Atenista and is three years older than her. Although she did not reveal his identity, talks has it that the guy is BJ Albert, a young businessman and restaurant owner from a respected family.

Nikki Gil and BJ Albert were seen together in a post-Valentine date with some friends including model-host Patty Laurel and singer Paolo Valenciano with their respective partners in life, Patrick and Samantha. Photos of the group date were posted by Patty on IG and the one below somewhat gave us a hint that there's romance brewing between Nikki and BJ.

Did you see his hands on Nikki's legs while watching a movie?

Well, Nikki deserves to be happy with someone who truly loves her and as what she said on Kris TV, it has been close to a year and she has already moved on, so as Billy Crawford with Coleen Garcia.

Kris Aquino Dumped by Suitor Before Birthday, Valentines

Queen of all media Kris Aquino revealed that she has been dumped by her new suitor just before Valentines Day, which is also her birthday. A "semi-brokenhearted" Kris Aquino opened up about her love life on her morning show Kris TV.

"Ang sad, it hurts, kasi ako ang nasabihan na 'I never want to talk to you or text you for the rest of my life.' That's life. Kung pwede ko lang talaga ma-rewind at ma-edit kung ano ang nangyari. Nasabihan ako talaga. Kina-shocked ko talaga. 'Yun din ang sinabi ko, 'Ouch, how harsh," Kris told Pokwang, who was a guest-co host on Monday.

The said episode showed Kris having a road trip to Bataan with Pokwang, actress Erich Gonzales and Kris TV head writer Darla Sauler.

"Pero at least walang lokohan... Siguro grabe din ang nasabi ko. At least inaamin ko mayroon din akong fault," Kris said talking about the said suitor without naming him. "Kagabi pinray ko talaga, 'Don't let me be bitter, God,'" she added.

Kris was somehow disappointed and irritated that the guy decided he no longer wants to see her when it's nearing her birthday, which is also Valentines day

"Sinabi ng ate ko kagabi, 'Well he had a courage to take you out and like you, so that's why malakas din ang loob niya to tell you na ayaw na niya sa iyo.' Reality. Sabi ng ate ko, 'If he doesn't like my sister he's not good enough for my sister.' Sabi ko, 'Tama, ate.'"

"Tapos sabi ko, 'Ate di man lang pinaabot sa birthday ko nakakainis. Doon ako buwisit na buwisit talaga," she added.

Kris, however, admitted that she's also at fault with what happened.

"Fault ko din naman," she said. "Kasi di ba if you won't give yourself a chance, how will you ever get a chance? I'm giving myself a chance," she said.

Kris Aquino spent her birthday weekend in Singapore and will be back Monday.

Melai Cantiveros Pregnant with Jason Francisco's Baby?

Is it true that PBB Double Up big winner Melai Cantiveros is pregnant with Jason Francisco's child? Netizens were surprised Saturday evening when a report about Melai being pregnant and her boyfriend Jason Francisco as the baby's father spread online. 

According to reports, the rumor started when host Ogie Diaz dropped a blind item on his radio program OMJ  Saturday evening pertaining to Melai. He then posted a tweet asking whether the said pregnancy rumor was true.

Ogie revealed that the baby was made in Singapore when the Melason love team joined Kris Aquino for the taping of an international episode of KrisTV where Melai is a semi-regular co-host.

If the baby is indeed made in Singapore, then Melai, if the alleged pregnancy is true, will be more or less two months pregnant as the said episode was aired and probably taped June of this year.

Melai and Jason started to became close inside the Pinoy Big Brother house way back in 2009 when both were housemates in the show's double up edition. The two then opened up about their relationship after their PBB stint which boosted their popularity as a love team, landing them a show of their own.

Melai and Jason broke up last year and reconciled a year after. 

The two is yet to comment on the pregnancy issue but fans of Melason are already tweeting congratulatory messages for the couple. If indeed Melai is pregnant with Jason's child, we're also happy for both of them.

Daniel Padilla on Kathryn Bernardo: "Hindi pwede kumausap ng ibang lalaki kasi magagalit ako."

Is Daniel Padilla being possessive of Kathryn Bernardo?

On the August 9, 2013 episode of Kris TV, Daniel Padilla imposed rules on Kathryn Bernardo now that she has returned to school. Kathryn is taking up Business Administration (major in Marketing) at the Enderun Colleges. 

Daniel said that he does not want Kathryn to talk to other boys.

"Mayroon [akong do's and don'ts para kay Kathryn]. Do's, mag-aral ka lang. Don'ts, kumausap ng lalaki. 'Yun lang," said Daniel to which Kathryn replied, "Kung hindi naman ako kakausapin, hindi ko sila kakausapin."

"Kapag gusto mong makipag-usap, bawal din," Daniel stressed. "Hindi pwede kasi magagalit ako."

When Kris asked the two if they can keep the rules for long, Kathryn replied:

"Basta trust lang talaga. Di naman hindi siya pwedeng makipag-usap sa iba, eh pwede naman. Depende naman sa tao kung paano mo iha-handle ang mga mami-meet mo, depende kung paano ka makipag-usap o ma-attach sa kanya."

Daniel said that he can stick to the rule, unlike Kathryn who sometime became careless.

"Ako kaya ko. Si Kathryn kasi 'pag masyado na siyang masaya, nadadala siya ng emosyon niya minsan na nakakalimutan na niya 'yung mga bawal."

When Kathryn tried to reason out, Daniel emphasized Kath's being careless while guest co-host Melai Cantiveros explained to Kathryn why Daniel's acting like that.

"Miss Kris, malalim talaga ang mga boys kapag sobrang in love sila. Kasi sobrang protective lang siya sa 'yo Kathryn kaya ganyan si Daniel," Melai said.

Kathryn and Daniel have yet to admit that they are officially a couple but in previous interviews, the two said that they are in the "MU" or "mutual understanding" stage. Two years after their first ever team up in  Growing Up, KathNiel will have their television return via primetime series Got to Believe which is set to premiere this August 26.
