Derek Ramsay admitted marrying Mary Christine Jolly in 2002 and that they have an 11-year-old son.
The rumor about Derek being married has come out sometime ago. He denied it at first but I guess he has to admit it now that there's a complaint and he had to file a counter affidavit.
Here's Derek's statement regarding the issue (courtesy of MJ Marfori on Twitter):
STATEMENT OF DEREK RAMSAY
In the Complaint-Affidavit which is replete with deliberate lies and facts intended to be misleading and deceptive, there are only two things that are true:
First, that Mary Christine Jolly and I were married in 2002, a marriage that I was then told, was not valid, for various reasons. Atty. Joji Alonso has subsequently explained to me that the information given me about the status of my marriage, is erroneous and that a marriage unless annulled, remains to be valid.
Second, that I have an eleven-year old son named Austin Gabriel Ramsay.
It was only sometime in the early part of August 2011, that I was able to confirm that Austin is indeed my son. Since then, I wanted to know my son first and keep my relationship with him, private. Austin was just an 8 year old boy then and he would not be able to comprehend the possible media curiosity about him, specially since he was then new to the country and about to pursue his education here.
Given the circumstances between Mary and I, which is far from ideal, I had to protect Austin first. Since Austin was then so young, I felt it was prudent to protect him and maintain a private relationship with him, for the meantime.
I have nothing further to add. Everything that needs to be said is contained in the Counter Affidavit which I have submitted today.
