Na-shock nga raw siya nang makilala nang husto ang hunk actor at madiskubre ang magagandang qualities nito, kabilang na ang pagiging “real gentleman.”
Pambubuking pa ni Ellen sa bagong boyfriend, sa taglay nitong kagwapuhan, idagdag pa ang pagiging hunk, sa totoong buhay daw ay torpe ang binata.
“I told him na I thought he was an asshole before or manyakis. But he’s very respectful and very sweet. Mukha lang siyang fuc*boi, pero hindi!” ang sabi ni Ellen sa interview nina Rico Robles at Karla Aguas sa RX 93.1.
Hirit pa ng sexy actress,”Very respectful talaga siya. Ang tagal niya ko bago niya ako kiniss!”
Sey naman ni Derek habang tawa nang tawa, “Laglagan portion na po tayo dito!”
Idinetalye rin ng magdyowa ang kanilang “first kiss”. Sey ni Derek, “First kiss, this can set the tone. Make or break. You’re supposed to kiss with your lips. I had a very good encounter with her teeth. I was, like, ‘What? Yun na ‘yon?!'”
Singit naman ni Ellen, “No! That’s just a smack!” Na sinagot ng aktor ng, “Still a kiss. That’s still our first kiss.”
Sabi pa ng aktres, “Bakit ganu’n ang first kiss namin? Memorable! Ha-hahaha!”
Ayon pa kay Derek si Ellen ang unang humalik sa kanya, “So I dropped her off to her house. And then she goes in for the kiss. Bam! And she just walks out of the car. ‘Bye!’ And then she leaves.”
Aniya pa, “I couldn’t bring it up. Does she know? Maybe that was her A-game already. I dont wanna hurt her feelings.”
Paliwanag ni Ellen, “No, because I really wanted to kiss him, and then I didn’t know how to kiss him. So I’ll kiss him na. And then, I’m like, ‘Good night!’ And then I walked away.”
Hirit uli ni Derek, “She quickly walked away.”
“But when we had our first first kiss, yeah, I knew,” seryosong kuwento na ni Derek.
“Bumawi naman. Because he laughed at me for kissing him like that,” chika ni Ellen.
