Maayos naman daw silang naghiwalay ng dalaga kahit pa nga napakabilis ng mga pangyayari at naniniwala siya na walang sama ng loob si Andrea sa kanya lalo na sa kanyang pamilya.
Kitang-kita naman ngayon ang kaligayahan ni Derek sa piling ni Ellen Adarna, ang babaeng ipinalit nga niya kay Andrea makalipas lamang ang ilang buwan.
“We have no hate towards one another. I don’t think so. I don’t think she hates me and I definitely don’t hate her and her family,” ang sabi ni Derek sa chikahan nila ni Pops Fernandez na mapapanood sa bagong vlog ng singer sa YouTube.
Dagdag pa ng binata, “We were together for over a year and it was very sudden. When the breakup happened, it came out of nowhere. It kind of blindsided me.”
Sa tanong kung may closure ba ang relasyon nila ng Kapuso actress, “I think that will come with time but definitely no hate, no regrets.”
Aniya, mutual decision ang kanilang break-up, “It was both of us. We ran across a little problem that became something much bigger and I guess we both realized that it was something na both of us cannot make certain adjustments to.”
Sey pa ni Derek, mas ginusto nilang tapusin na ang namamagitan sa kanila kesa pahabain pa ito dahil baka mas lalo lang silang magkaproblema.
Bukod kay Andrea, ilan pa sa mga dating nakarelasyon ni Derek sa showbiz ay sina Angelica Panganiban, Solenn Heussaff at Cristine Reyes, pati na ang model na si Joanne Villablanca.
“I’m not using these women. I get into a commitment with them because I think they have the qualities I want in a woman who I want to spend the rest of my life with,” sabi ni Derek sa isang panayam.
“But sometimes people clash and you only get to see that side through time. And that’s what’s happened with me.
“And I don’t want to jump into something that’s supposed to be infinite. No excuses. You can’t just go and get yourself annulled or get divorced. I believe that marriage is infinite,” aniya pa.
“People always think of me na, if I end the relationship, it’s like I’m just this bad person that doesn’t want love, that doesn’t want to be loved,” sabi pa ng binata.
“I think she’s the one. And I say it’s gonna happen quick. Seriously. Like no joke. Sometimes you need to live a crazy life.”
