Is Billy Crawford courting Nikki Gil?

By Napoleon Quintos

When Billy Crawford surprised Nikki Gil with a bouquet of flowers during the August 24 gala night of the Pinoy Dream Academy Little Dreamers, it was hard not to notice the obvious closeness between the two. People around them have been commenting on the steadily growing sweetness they have for each other. “We’re good friends. We’re getting to know each other. He’s a really nice person,” Nikki admitted during Star Magic’s birthday presscon for its August celebrants.

Having never worked together before PDA, the two talented singers have taken the time to get to know each other a lot more during their three-month stint on the show. Blame it on their obvious similarities. Aside from both having had experience singing abroad, they also have great hosting skills. Add to that their outgoing personalities and friendliness and it’s not hard to guess why they would also find each other quite attractive.

Despite the hectic daily tapings for PDA, Nikki said she and Billy still hang out after work. “We go out. Minsan with friends, minsan hindi (laughs). We’re getting to know each other.” But not wanting to add color to her statement, she added, “We’re getting to know each other because we work together. So siyempre you want to get to know the people that you work with.”

She refused to confirm if Billy was courting her and said that she thinks he would be in the better position to answer a question like that. “Siya na lang yung tanungin niyo. Basta we go out and just enjoy each other’s company,” she concluded. From the obviously happy response, it’s obvious that things between them are headed in a good direction.
