According to PEP, Derek gave short statements about his previous marriage to a former Filipino-Indian girlfriend. That is such a surprise for me since he's such a hottie. Who would have believed that? Anyway he's still yummy so I don't really care so much
Here's his statement as picked up from PEP:
"It's over and done with. Actually, we can't speak about it but it's over," he said in an interview at the press conference of his newest auto loan endorsement with East West Bank.
The presscon was held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.
He added that it never affected his relationship with current girlfriend, actress Angelica Panganiban.
"It was never a problem," he told PEP.
"It's just something that they brought up.
"Like I said, it was something that was nine years ago that I have to deal with and it's been dealt with."
The relationship of Derek and Angelica already faced a number of controversies in the past years. However, the celebrity couple still managed to keep their romance going.
For Derek, keeping a relationship is "a lot of hard work."
He added, "The love is there, of course. But, I think, our secret is to let each other grow."
Ah that's sweet, Angelica is one lucky girl. Though I still hear he sleeps around, the level of public affection is just huge.
