MANILA – Ellen Adarna broke up “several times” with presidential son Sebastian “Baste” Duterte before they parted ways for good, the actress revealed.

Adarna, who appears on the cover of the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Philippines, said in an interview with the magazine that she and Duterte went through a lot before reaching their “final breakup,” which involved not talking to each other for a month.

“We broke up several times, and then ‘yung final straw – ‘yung final breakup talaga na hindi kami nag-usap for maybe a month – ang dami kong realizations,” she said.

Adarna then had second thoughts about getting back together with the young Duterte, who is in a relationship with another woman.

“Kung babalikan ko siya, makakatulog ba ako sa gabi nang maayos? I don’t want that. And I don’t deserve that kasi binibigay ko naman lahat ‘pag nagmahal ako,” she said.

Last month, Duterte said he never broke up with his long-time girlfriend, Kate Necessario, amid rumors of his relationship with Adarna.

They have a two-year-old son named Yair.
