Derek Ramsay recently spent quality time on a beach getaway in La Union with his wife Ellen Adarna, their kids Lili and Elias, and his parents.
The actor shared a series of photos from the trip on Instagram, offering a glimpse into their relaxing and joyful family bonding.
"Family is where happiness and peace begin. Don't dwell on the past and worry about the future, just be present, love deeply and unconditionally, and enjoy the now," Derek posted on Instagram.
The actor added: "Grateful beyond words for the blessing of my family. Thank you, Lord, for the love, strength, and unity you’ve bestowed upon us. Life has its ups and downs but family will always be there to get you through. Love you guys!! 🙏💖 #Blessed #FamilyIsEverything #GratefulHeart."
Fans online were quick to react to Derek's post.
"The Love of a family is life's greatest blessing. What a great gift you’ve there @ramsayderek07 you’re so blessed," one fan commented.
Derek and Ellen welcomed their daughter, Lili, in October 2024. At the time, Derek joyfully shared: "My world keeps getting better and better!"
In May, Ellen gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at Lili’s first official photoshoot, posting a series of heartwarming images on social media.
"Lili’s first photoshoot with @cocoonstudioph ❤️ truly the best baby whisperers ever! Here’s to many more!❤️" she posted on Instagram. "Lili at 12 days Old 🥰."
In the photos, baby Lili can be seen wearing adorable outfits in cute poses. Ellen and Derek also appeared in some of the shots with her.
Earlier in February, Ellen reflected on her pregnancy journey through a throwback post. The photo series included moments from her sonogram, Lili’s birth, and heartwarming family moments with Derek and Elias, her son from her previous relationship with actor John Lloyd Cruz.
Ellen and Derek got married in November 2021 in Bataan.
In an interview with Karen Davila in February this year, the couple were asked what made them decide to get married after only three months of being in a relationship.
"I can't really answer that because it just felt like, 'Yeah, this is the one. No questions, no doubts,'" Ellen remarked.
