Ellen Adarna was spotted at Derek Ramsay’s house for the second time, a week after photos of them getting cozy with each other made buzz online.
On Monday, January 18, during One PH’s Sa Totoo Lang virtual interview with Ellen and John Estrada for their upcoming TV5 sitcom John En Ellen, entertainment news anchor MJ Marfori noticed that Ellen was in a place that looked familiar.
“Napaka-familiar ng background mo, Ellen,” MJ told the actress.
“Oh my God!” blurted Ellen in reaction.
MJ, who’s good friends with Derek, then asked if she was at the actor’s house. “Nandiyan ka ba sa bahay ni D? Nasa bahay ka ba ni Derek?”
“Hindi,” denied Ellen at first while laughing and then said, “Masyado bang obvious?”
MJ pointed out, “Sobrang obvious yung ceiling diyan, sa may pool area niya ‘yan.”
“Eh magkapitbahay lang kami, di ba?” Ellen reasoned why she was again at Derek’s house.
Ruffa Gutierrez earlier shared “walang malisya” photos of Ellen and Derek during a get-together dinner hosted by the Kapuso hunk actor for his “neighbors” last January 11, leading netizens to speculate about a budding romance between the two.
“Pakisabi kay Derek, ‘wag muna siya maingay please,” joked John, who is Derek’s best friend and golf buddy.
“Naririnig niyo ba siya?” asked Ellen during the virtual interview, pertaining to Derek who could be heard by the show’s hosts talking in the background.
“No, because I was invited to have dinner in his house, that’s why,” Ellen continued to explain her presence at Derek’s home.
“Ang dami kaya namin dito, hindi lang ako. Ano ba? Gusto niyo makita? Maraming tao dito, hindi lang ako,” she added.
“Can we just see him and say hi?” asked MJ’s fellow One PH anchor Chiqui Vergel.
Ellen was forced to call Derek over, saying: “Derek, mag-hi ka na lang daw kasi nabuking na ako na nandito ako sa bahay mo,” pointing the camera at the actor walking towards her.
“Hi guys!” said Derek as he appeared behind Ellen.
Derek pointed something at Ellen’s phone and appeared shocked when Ellen informed him that “We’re going to be on the news, ano ka ba?!”
“Ay!” said Derek and briefly disappeared from the frame.
During the interview, John said that he sees no problem if his co-star and good friend end up with each other.
“Ellen and Derek, they’re not stepping on anyone’s toes. I don’t see any problem there. They’re both single, you know, and they deserve to be happy.”
