Actor Derek Ramsay has finally broken his silence regarding the controversial end of his marriage to Cebuana celebrity Ellen Adarna. In a heart-to-heart conversation with showbiz insider Morly Alinio, the actor chose to be candid about the emotional scars left by their separation.

The relationship, which was once the talk of the town, ended abruptly last year amidst a whirlwind of social media revelations. Ellen Adarna had previously made several bold accusations, including claims of infidelity and the sharing of videos where the actor was allegedly heard using foul language toward her. She even mentioned the existence of a group chat with Derek’s other former partners, including actress Angelica Panganiban.

Reflecting on that period, Derek admitted that the experience was far from easy. “Talagang nasaktan ako!” he shared during the teaser for the second part of the interview. He further described his mental state during the fallout, stating, “Yung pinagdaanan ko during that time, talagang lubog ako nun.”

Despite the heavy bashing he received online following Ellen's "receipts," Derek has remained relatively quiet, choosing not to divulge specific details to avoid further conflict. Morly Alinio noted that the actor is still being very careful with his words, which is why the interview was conducted with a sense of mutual respect and caution.

While the second part of the interview is expected to delve deeper into the breakup, the first part highlighted a different kind of struggle for the actor—his family's health. Derek revealed that his father is currently fighting stage 4 prostate cancer that has already metastasized to the bone. “It’s stage 4 cancer sa prostate at nag-metastasize na sa bone. But all the doctors say that it’s a slow cancer. Most likely, hindi iyun ang ikamamatay niya,” he shared.
