Tulad ni Derek Ramsay, pahinga muna si Ellen Adarna sa show business dahil bukod sa napapagod siya sa mga taping, plano nila ng kanyang asawa na magkaroon ng sariling anak ngayong 2023.
Sabi ni Ellen, “Ayokong mag-taping. Alam naman natin na it requires a lot of energy so it is my choice to take a break.
“I think it was fun when I was young and I didn’t have… it was only me and I had a lot of energy. It was just only me. 'Okay, go, go, go. Gawin natin ito, gawin natin yan,'” sabi ni Ellen tungkol sa pasya nitong magbuntis at isantabi muna ang kanyang acting career na naging desisyon din ni Derek.
Pagpapatuloy niya, “We just met at the perfect time, when I met him parang ayaw na rin niya [mag-showbiz].
“For me, when I had Elias parang he’s my main priority that I want to be there on his formative years. He’s turning five.
"And we’re planning to have a baby this year.
"Wala pa talaga, wala pa sa plano ang magbalik sa showbiz.”
Si Elias ang anak ni Ellen sa dating karelasyong si John Lloyd Cruz.
Si Derek ay may isa ring anak na lalake, ang 19-year-old na si Austin, mula sa una niyang asawa na si Mary Christine Jolly.
Babae ang nais ni Ellen na maging anak nila ni Derek kung sakaling palarin siyang magbuntis dahil pareho nang lalake ang kanilang mga anak at para tapos na umano ang boxing.
Nakausap ng Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph) at iba pang reporters si Ellen sa pagbubukas ng unang sangay ng Shinagawa Diagnostic & Preventive Care sa BGC, Taguig City, noong Miyerkules, April 26, 2023.
Ang Shinagawa Diagnostic & Preventive Care ang kauna-unahang Japanese healthcare service sa Pilipinas na nag-aalok ng A1 technologies.
Kasama ni Ellen sa ribbon-cutting ceremony ang kanyang kapwa celebrity ambassador na si Sanya Lopez, Taguig City Mayor Lanie Cayetano, Shinagawa President Masako Uemori, at Shinagawa Chairman Koji Miyashita.
A WIFE AND A MOTHER
Ang pagiging maybahay ni Derek at ina ni Elias ang itinuturing ni Ellen na katuparan ng kanyang pinapangarap na mapayapa, balanse, at maligayang buhay.
Pagbabahagi ni Ellen nang kumustahin ang kanilang buhay mag-asawa ni Derek: “Very peaceful, balanced. The life I have now is the life that I always imagined and prayed for like achieved.
“We’re just really enjoying our time together kasi two years pa lang kami married. Bago pa lang and we got married so fast.
"Everything happened so fast. We are really enjoying our quality time.”
Ikinasal sina Ellen at Derek sa Bagac, Bataan, noong November 11, 2021.

Ibinida rin ni Ellen na hindi sila nagkakaroon ni Derek na malaking away mula nang magsama at magpakasal sila.
“You know what, we don’t [quarrel].
"And from the very start, like, of course, we have conflicts, tinitimpla niyo pa.
"And the boundaries were already set, like ‘No you cannot do that. No you cannot say that. You do these,' and this will be the downfall of your marriage.
“The boundaries are set and it’s being respected and honored by both parties so if we have arguments, it’s very chill,” paliwanag ni Ellen.
Nagpapasalamat si Ellen kay Derek dahil sa pagmamahal at pag-aalaga nito kay Elias, ang anak niya kay John Lloyd.
“Thank God na high energy si Derek kasi hindi ko kaya yung boys energy. Hindi ako marunong makipaglaro ng lalake. Hanggang sa nurturing lang ako, pakain, paligo, hanggang diyan lang ako,” sabi ni Ellen.
Tiniyak din ni Ellen na maganda ang relasyon ni Elias kay John Lloyd at maayos ang kanilang co-parenting agreement.
“He [Elias] spends time with John Lloyd. I make sure he has good relationship with John Lloyd.
"He needs John Lloyd as much as he needs me so our co-parenting is okay," sabi niya.
