The actor also clarified that he does not have bad blood with Cruz.
“Nagkasalubong kami ni John Lloyd to drop off Elias sa bahay and he congratulated me after my engagement with Ellenz But we have no bad blood against one another,” he said.
“I think Ellen and John Lloyd have been separated for quite a while, so there’s no overlap here,” Derek added.
Derek said that he is happy to be number 2 in Ellen’s life after Elias.
