2/23/2026, 11:52:01 AM
Claims of Financial Support and Responsibility
Ellen Adarna has publicly refuted claims made by Cristy Fermin that her estranged husband, Derek Ramsay, is a "good provider" for their daughter, Liana. In a series of now-expired Instagram posts, Adarna asserted that she has been solely responsible for their household expenses, including paying for their home and groceries. She emphasized that Ramsay's contribution has been minimal, stating, “Let’s not rewrite history,” and highlighting that he only provided a credit card with a P50,000 limit after she called him out on his lack of support.
Adarna detailed that this credit card limit covers only 55.88% of Liana's expenses, which she had previously outlined. She criticized Ramsay for not taking initiative in his parental responsibilities, stating, “A real provider doesn’t wait to be called out. He takes initiative.”
Context of Their Relationship
Adarna and Ramsay were married in 2021 but separated in November 2025. During their marriage, Adarna claims that Ramsay did not contribute financially to their household staff or other essential expenses. She noted that she had to employ five nannies, with Ramsay only covering one. Adarna's family reportedly influenced her perspective on Ramsay's financial obligations, prompting her to demand more support for their daughter.
Official Statements & Responses
While Ramsay has not directly addressed the allegations regarding his financial support, he mentioned in a January 2026 interview that he is focused on rebuilding his life. Adarna's statements reflect a growing frustration with Ramsay's perceived lack of involvement and support, particularly after their separation. She stated, “If he doesn’t give anything, no Lili, that simple,” indicating that she would restrict Ramsay's access to their daughter if he fails to provide adequate support.
Criticism & Opposition
Critics of Adarna's stance may argue that publicizing personal financial disputes could negatively impact their daughter. However, Adarna maintains that transparency is necessary to correct the narrative surrounding Ramsay's role as a provider. She has urged the public to reconsider the label of "good provider" in light of her experiences.
