Actress Ellen Adarna recently threw a lavish and colorful 1st birthday party for her daughter, Liana (aka Lily). Amid the festive atmosphere, Ellen shared happy and radiant photos of the party on her personal Instagram page, thanking everyone who came to celebrate and make her daughter’s special day complete. However, amid the thousands of congratulations, the online community quickly noticed a noticeable absence: the presence of father, Derek Ramsay, did not appear in any of the photos.

The photos posted by Ellen were filled with joy, showing a celebration that was carefully prepared with love. But this did not stop the curiosity of fans. The comment section immediately exploded with questions. One netizen did not hesitate to ask the direct question that everyone was wondering: “Is the baby’s father absent?” This question caught the attention of Ellen herself, and she decided not to keep silent.

With her straightforward and fearless personality, Ellen Adarna responded directly to this comment. In Visayan (translated into Tagalog), her reply was short but carried the weight of a clear statement: “We sent an invitation, but I don’t know why he didn’t come.” This simple answer immediately cleared up all the speculation. It showed that Ellen, as a mother, had fulfilled her responsibility, ensuring that Derek was invited to their daughter’s big day.

Ellen’s response also showed her surprising composure in the face of public questioning. Clearly, she was doing her part and Derek’s presence seemed to be out of her control. She didn’t offer any further details about the specific reason for his absence, and her demeanor suggested she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it or make it into a bigger issue.

Instead of focusing on Derek’s absence, Ellen skillfully redirected the attention back to the main purpose of the day: her daughter’s happiness. She chose to focus on the people who were actually there, who flew in and took the time to celebrate with Lily. The photos from the party are clear evidence of this, filled with laughter and love. Ellen proved that, despite personal questions and public curiosity, she is a resilient mother who always puts her child’s happiness and beautiful memories first.
