Nadine Samonte won't be returning to showbiz for now, 'Wala pa naman ako sa ganu'n.'

StarStruck alumna Nadine Samonte has been staying away from the limelight for years now and she revealed that she still doesn't have plans of returning to show business.

Aside from the fact that COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed lives and has caused threat on public health, Nadine also cited her children as the reason why she's not yet ready to resume her showbiz life.

“Tsaka ang balita ko kapag nag-taping ka hindi ka pwedeng umuwi," she said, adding, “Wala pa naman. Wala pa naman ako sa ganu'n.

"Parang hindi ko pa nakikita 'yung sarili ko na babalik sa ngayon. Wala pa siguro kasi I have kids pa na maliit, e,” she said in an interview with 24 Oras.

Currently, Nadine is busy with her dried fish business which, according to her, is gaining favorable reception from the public.

“I'm happy. Overwhelming talaga 'yung reception ng tao.

“Actually ngayon, ang ginagawa ko is the second batch.

"So, per batch ang ginagawa ko every week, kukunin ko muna 'yung mga orders nila, reserve tapos ipapadala ko pagdating dito.

“Kasi, ayokong magtago ng dried fishes. Gusto ko kasi laging fresh from the province,” she added.

Nadine has been enjoying her private and family life with her businessman husband Richard Chua, daughter Heather and son Titus.
