Young actress and model Carla Humphries said that she is now ready for a new relationship after her break-up with actor Janus del Prado.

"I'm just happy and I'm ready to embark on a new jouney. Why not. (ready na ako) mas nag-mature na ako ngayon at mas naging confident na ako at ngayon alam ko na kung sino ako at ano ang gusto ko sa buhay," Humphries added.

In an interview, Humphries also confirmed that she's now exclusively dating Coverboys' member John James Uy.

"Yes I'm dating a showbiz guy; his initials are J-J-U," Humphries said.

John James Uy is a ramp and print model who became the grand finalist of "Be Bench", a model search sponsored by fashion brand Bench.

During the last quarter of 2007, rumors spread that Uy was courting sexy-actress Ara Mina. The model search winner denied the rumors, however, in one press conference.

Humphries said that for her, Mr. Right, should have certain qualities that would win her heart.

The actress said that for her, good looks don't really matter, as long as the guy is someone who could be a good influence on her and would be a source of inspiration.
