Derek Ramsay Opens Up About Heartbreak, Healing, and Finding Peace After Separation

Actor Derek Ramsay spoke candidly about the emotional impact of his separation from wife Ellen Adarna, admitting that the breakup deeply hurt him but emphasizing that he has since found peace.

In the second part of a YouTube vlog by entertainment insider Morly Alinio, Ramsay was asked how the highly publicized controversy surrounding their separation affected him.

“I think everyone knows that. Everyone can see that I was really hurt,” Ramsay said, acknowledging the pain he experienced during that period.

Despite this, the actor chose not to discuss the details of the fallout, saying he preferred to remain respectful toward everyone involved. “No comment out of respect to everyone in that situation. I can honestly say I’m at peace,” he added, briefly pausing as emotions surfaced.

Ramsay shared that spending time with his family in the United Kingdom over the holidays played a significant role in his emotional recovery. He traveled with his daughter, Liana, and his immediate family, describing the trip as a time of rest, reflection, and renewal.

“I’m truly grateful we were able to go to the UK together—my daughter, my parents, my sibling, and my nieces and nephews,” he said. “It was a very good time to reflect, take a breather, and start the new year right.”

When asked how he dealt with the negativity and criticism that followed the breakup, Ramsay pointed to his faith and strong support system as essential anchors.

“With good friends and my family, they helped bring me back to my faith,” he shared. “It felt like a reminder—like God knocking on my door, saying, ‘I’m here.’ I just turned my focus to Him. No matter the noise or problems, I surrendered everything to Him.”

The actor said that returning to church, praying several times a day, and joining a faith-based group led by a priest played a major role in his healing journey.

Ramsay also reflected on what he believes were his personal shortcomings during his married life, admitting that he allowed his emotions to take control.

“Many things—letting your emotions take over,” he said. “I was really at rock bottom. I felt like I had lost my drive in life during that time.”

Now, Ramsay says he is focused on moving forward with clarity, faith, and a renewed sense of peace.

Derek Ramsay Focuses on Healing and Family Amid Separation

At the height of his misunderstanding with Ellen Adarna, actor Derek Ramsay shared that he sought different ways to cope with the emotional strain, including yoga therapy in Indonesia and a two-week stay in Japan. He described these experiences as part of his effort to regain balance and clarity during a difficult period.

When asked to further discuss the breakdown of their marriage, Ramsay firmly chose not to revisit the issue.

“Ayoko nang pag-usapan ’yan. I just want to move on with my life and focus on my mom and dad, and my daughter,” he said. “There are so many battles in life—you just have to choose which ones to fight.”

Ramsay and Adarna tied the knot in November 2021 in Bagac, Bataan, and later marked their first wedding anniversary with a Peruvian despacho ceremony. They welcomed their daughter, Liana, in October 2024.

Their separation became a widely discussed topic online late last year after Adarna shared posts and recordings that alleged infidelity and verbal abuse, sparking intense public debate.

In the same vlog, Ramsay also addressed rumors about his personal life, denying claims that he is currently in a new relationship. He emphasized that his priority remains his healing journey, faith, and family.
