Dennis Padilla reveals that he and his live-in partner are now separated
DENNIS PADILLA – The actor-comedian admitted that his relationship with his Filipino-Australian live-in partner, Linda Gorton, ended in separation.
In a press interview for the movie “Magic Hurts” on February 24, 2024, Dennis shared that they decided to end their relationship after being together for more than ten years, during which they had two children, Gavin, 11, and Maddie, 6. “I got separated nung 2020, so my ex-wife brought my children sa Sydney,” he said.
Despite their 22-year age gap, many thought Linda would be Dennis’s last partner. Back in December 2020, Dennis talked about his 12-year relationship with Linda in an exclusive interview with PEP.ph.
According to him, their relationship blossomed when he was 46 and Linda was 23. In 2009, he convinced Linda to live in the Philippines, mentioning his stable job and better earnings compared to Australia. However, Linda’s return to Australia eventually led to their separation.
Despite this, Dennis assures they have a friendly arrangement for sharing parental duties, regularly communicating with their children through video calls. Supporting them financially, especially due to the high cost of living in Australia, is a challenge Dennis diligently meets. He is determined to visit his children in Australia and is currently applying for an Australian visa. Despite the distance, Dennis maintains regular communication with Gavin and Maddie.
Regarding his relationship with his other children, particularly with Marjorie Barretto, Dennis hopes for improved communication, especially after receiving a birthday message from his eldest daughter, Julia Barretto, on his 62nd birthday. While they haven’t spoken yet, Dennis is hopeful about future communication and hopes for reconciliation with his other children, Claudia and Leon.
