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.

Carla's Mr. Right

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

"Mas gusto ko yung responsable, respectful, malapit sa family someone who would want to know my family first," Humphries said.

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.

Carla Humphries has a Filipina mother and an Italian-American father. She speaks English, French and Filipino.

Humphries is best known for her roles as Rita Arguelles in ABS-CBN's television series "Bituing Walang Ningning" and as Brenda Smith in "Abt Ur Luv."

Humphries started her career at the age of 11 when she was discovered 1999 by Johnny "Mr. M" Manahan, the head Star Magic. She was launched as a member of Star Circle Batch 11 in May 2003.

She appeared on various shows on the ABS-CBN network. Her first guest role was in late 2003, when she was cast as a fashion model named "Paris" in the youth-oriented TV show "Berks."

She then joined "Qpids" and, in 2004, Humphries appeared in a supporting role in her first movie, "My First Romance" with Heart Evangelista.

Recently she appeared in an episode of "Your Song". She celebrated her birthday last May 20.

She dreams of having her own show and her own movie one day, as well as to become a sought-after product endorser and, of course, impove her acting skills.

At 20, Humphries is busy with her afternoon television series "Ligaw na Bulaklak" with Roxanne Guinoo.

Carla Humphries, John James Uy sit down for an intimate chat with the hosts on Boy & Kris's "Happy Together" episode last May 29. Kris asks John James what he gave Carla for her recent birthday, and the Cover Boys member divulges that as a surprise, he drew a painting of Carla. "I'm really glad you were born twenty years ago on this day and I'm really glad that i found you," John says to her.

Although they have been exclusively dating, the two lovebirds have yet to admit they are a couple officially. "I don't entertain suitors if im not interested. Hindi ko pinapaasa yung lalake. I take the time to get to know the person," Carla shares.

Fil-Am model-turned-actor John James tells the hosts why he had such a big crush on Carla. "The best thing about her is that she's very down-to-earth. She has alot of redeeming qualities. I'm also very grateful that she's taking the time to at least get to know me, he says.

They admit that enjoy eating out and watching movies, where they admittedly hold hands during the movie. "I'm very simple eh. There were times where he would take me to fancy restaurants, but I really have a nice time pag laidback lang kami," Carla adds.

When it comes to footing the bill, Carla believes that the guy shouldnt always have to be the one to pay. "I offer. I don't think it's fair naman especially since we're not yet together na lahat nalang (sa kanya). Siyempre dapat I have to give my share dahil ako din naman kumakain," she stresses.

An obviously lovestruck John James admits to the hosts how smitten he feels about the recently turned 20 year old actress. "I'm happy because maybe I came to the Philippines to meet Carla," he confesses. To which the young actress adds, "I'm happy when were together because you make it a point to make me feel like a princess. You treat me the way I feel I should be treated. Thank you for being kind to me and for being a good person and for loving my family like I love them."

Shocking na Showbiz Hiwalayan!
by Athena Fregillana

Nagkakilala sila sa set ng Qpids. Halos araw-araw ay nagkikita sila at nagkakatrabaho. Sila ang ibonoto ng fans para mag-survive sa reality love team search na nabanggit. Sino nga bang mag-aakalang ang on-screen love team na sina Janus del Prado at Carla Humphries ay naging real life sweethearts?

Natuklasan nilang click sila dahil kuwela si lalaki at mahilig sumalo ng joke si babae. Hindi nga naiwasang ma-in-love si Carla sa kuwelang personality ni Janus. Si Janus naman ay nabighani sa kagandahan at sweetness ni Carla. Bakit nga ba sila naghiwalay? Nagkasawaan nga ba? Minsan daw ay sinabihan na lang ni Janus si Carla na huwag na muna silang magkita. Parang nag-fall out of love na ang binata. Inalam tuloy ni Carla kung mahal pa siya ni Janus at simpleng "Okey lang" ang sagot nito.

Kaya nagdesisyon ang babae na putulin na nga ang kanilang relasyon. Hindi satisfied si Carla sa sagot ni Janus. Meaning, hindi okey!
