Dennis Padilla reached out to son Leon Padilla through an Instagram post on his birthday on April 2.
The post included a photo collage of Dennis with a young Leon and an image of Dennis with a handwritten note dated April 2, 2024 and it read, "Dear Leon Marcux, happy b-day anak. God bless you more! We love you!"
Dennis wrote in his Instagram caption, "Dear Leon... Happy birthday anak!! Love you... Hope to see you soon."
He also wrote a birthday greeting on Instagram for daughter Julia Barretto back in March.
Dennis revealed in an interview with PEP.ph in February 2024 that he received a birthday greeting through a text message from Julia on his 62nd birthday.
Julia and siblings Leon, Dani, and Claudia have reportedly been distant from their father since his separation from their mother, Marjorie Barretto, in 2007.
Meanwhile, Marjorie also wrote a birthday greeting on Instagram which Leon reposted on his Instagram Stories.
"Happy 21st birthday to my only son Leon!! I can't imagine a life without you, Kuya. You are everyone's go to person. Our gentle giant, the best son, brother and friend! Thank you for all the hard work you put into school, Kuya. I appreciate how you make everything easier for me. I love you so much. My greatest wish and prayer for you, a bright future, good health and that you will be surrounded with all the right people around you. Cheers to 21!"
Leon replied in the comments saying, "LOVE U MOM."
