ELLEN Adarna is enjoying her well-balanced life now as a mother to four-year old son Elias and wife to Derek Ramsay, describing it as “very peaceful.”
“The life I have now is the life that I’ve always imagined and prayed for,” Adarna said in an interview in Taguig City recently.
She also said it was her decision to take a break from her showbiz career to focus on the formative years of her son. “I want to be there on his formative years. He’s turning five,” she said.
“Well-exposed siya kahit hindi pa siya nag-start [pumasok] sa school. At naiintindihan niya ang sitwasyon. Two years pa lang siya, nakasanayan na niya (that I am is his mother and John Lloyd Cruz is his father).
“He (Elias) spends time with John Lloyd. I make sure that he has good relationship with John Lloyd. He needs John Lloyd as much as he needs me. So parenting is okay naman,” she said.
Asked how many times Cruz should meet his son, Adarna answered, “He has 12 days a month. I’m very fair.”
Adarna also admitted she’s planning to have a baby this year.
Asked if she wants another boy, she said a baby girl would be a great addition to the family.
“Sana girl para tapos na ang boxing. We have both boys na. We want one na lang. Pero if it’s a boy, okay lang din,” she said.
Adarna’s last TV appearance was a sitcom with John Estrada.
“Ayaw ko mag-tape. Ayaw ko mag-soap. Alam naman natin na it requires a lot of energy. It is really my choice to take a break,” she explained. (Josh Mercado/ABS-CBN News)
