Dennis Padilla grateful for kids Leon and Julia Barretto’s birthday messages

Dennis Padilla took to social media to share the birthday messages he received from his kids, Leon and Julia Barretto.
“Happy birthday Pa, hope you have a good day and year ahead. Good health and more blessings,” Julia said in her text message with a heart emoji.
In response, Dennis texted, “Ty anak love you… dinner tyo soon… pag free ka… ingat.”
“Dear juy... Ty for remembering... Miss you anak... Love you,” Dennis wrote in the caption of his post.
Leon’s message was also short yet warm.
“Happy birthday Papa God bless always,” he said.
Dennis also thanked Leon and invited him for dinner.
“So happy for this message... Salamat anak... Love you Leon,” he wrote in the caption.
Julia, Leon, and Claudia Barretto are Dennis’ kids with Marjorie Barretto. They separated in 2007.
In 2024, Dennis vowed that he would do his best to talk to his kids more often and that he would make an effort to see them more.
