IT was the shortest relationship for Derek Ramsey and Cristine Reyes. Just a few weeks after admitting their relationship, the handsome actor then recently announced that he and Cristiine have broken up.

In an interview with Pep.ph, during a press conference for Derek’s new series on TV5 For Love Or Money, the actor explained that neither of them are at fault for the break up.

“It’s just a decision that was made. There’s nobody wrong,” he said.

There were rumors that the reason why the relationship failed was because of Cristine’s “attitude,”and Derek was quick to defend the actress. He said that he has known Cristine for three years as a friend, and believes the actress is a wonderful person.

Although they both agreed to remain friends, the actor admitted that communication between them is sparse. “Right now, we’re giving each other space. Kasi, masakit naman.” But he continued to say that they still follow each other on Instagram and Twitter.

As for reconciliation, Derek can only say that nobody can know what can happen in the future. He also believes that in time, everything will be okay. For now, he is looking forward to still have that special friendship he had with Cristine.

Former beauty queen Miriam Quiambao is engaged —gain. Years after her failed marriage to Italian Claudio Rondinelli, the 1999 Miss Universe First Princess, finally found love again when she posted on her Instagram a photo collage of herself and her non-showbiz fiancé, author and businessman Ardy Roberto. Ardy is an international award-winning seminar producer and conference speaker. He is also a co-founder and chairman of the learning events company, Salt & Light Ventures, Inc.

The photos on the former beauty queen’s account showed her and her fiancé in sports attire, standing each other, smiling. A white banner behind them said, “Miriam, will you marry me.”

Miriam was one of the strongest and most visible contenders for the Miss Universe crown in 1999. During the pageant, Miriam slipped and fell on stage when the heel of one of her shoes got caught in the trail of her evening gown. Despite her fall, she collected herself, regained composure, walked graciously, finished her walk and made her the favorite of the audience.

After placing 1st Runner Up, she began a new carer in showbiz as TV host/correspondent for GMA Network, for shows like Unang Hirit, Extra Extra! and Extra Challenge.
