Coleen Garcia will no longer be part of "It's Showtime" to focus on her acting career. Billy Crawford's girlfriend confirmed that it was the ABS-CBN management who told her to prioritize acting this 2016.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News' Gretchen Pullido, via PEP, Garcia shared that with her ongoing series "Pasion de Amor," she will be busy working on a new movie with Piolo Pascual and Dawn Zulueta. Garcia will be playing a socialite, while Pascual and Zulueta will be a DJ and a fashion designer, respectively.
The actress added that she was barely seen in the noontime show in 2015, since she was also busy taping for "Ex with Benefits" with Derek Ramsay.
"I don't think I'll be returning," she admitted.
Meanwhile, Garcia also opened up about her relationship with Crawford. The actress admitted that they have talked about getting married but added that they both wanted to concentrate on their careers for the time being.
When they first started seeing each other, Garcia revealed that Crawford had been very vocal about wanting to start a family soon. In an interview with Kris TV, the 23-year-old said that one of the biggest compromises they have to do is when to settle down.
"He wants to get married soon but I have so many things I want to do first," Garcia said.
Garcia shared that she is not yet ready to have her own child. She added that there are still a lot of things she would like to accomplish. In five years, the actress said that she might consider walking down the aisle.
In other news, speaking to Inquirer, Garcia shared that although she did several sexy scenes in "Ex with Benefits" and "Pasion de Amor," there are still limits on what she can show onscreen. She said that she would not be comfortable showing her private parts in front of the camera.
When asked what Crawford thought about her accepting risqué roles, Garcia said that he has always been supportive. She added that the "Pilipinas Got Talent" host is very happy with how her career has progressed over time.
