Dennis Padilla, an actor-comedian and current councilor running for reelection in Caloocan City’s second district, has reestablished connections with his children Leon and Julia, The family reunion took place during an intimate celebration of Leon’s 22nd birthday on April 2.

Padilla shared heartfelt moments from the gathering on Instagram, highlighting a warm reunion not only with his children but also with their grandmother, Catalina Dominguez. In a touching photo, Leon is seen with his arm around his father’s shoulder, showcasing their renewed bond. Padilla expressed his affection with a caption, “Love you anak… Leon Marcux,” to which his son responded with appreciation, replying, “Thanks, papa!”

This touching reconnection follows a period of separation after Padilla’s marriage to Marjorie Barretto ended in annulment in 2009. The fallout that ensued involved publicized disputes, with Padilla expressing his desire to reconnect with his children.

Signs of reconciliation began emerging in 2024 when Padilla mentioned in an interview that he received a message from Julia on his 62nd birthday. This gesture, along with greetings from Julia and Leon in February 2025, marked significant steps toward mending their relationship.

Padilla’s efforts to rebuild connections with his children have been gradual but promising, suggesting a positive turn in their family dynamics. His recent posts reflect a father’s enduring love and hope for continued unity with his family.
