LEON BARRETTO – Social media is buzzing after Leon Barretto and Katseye member Sophia Laforteza were allegedly spotted holding hands in a viral video that quickly caught netizens’ attention.
Leon Barretto recently delighted fans after sharing a series of heartwarming photos from a memorable family trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. The getaway featured Leon alongside his mother, Marjorie Barretto, and siblings Dani and Erich, who all appeared to enjoy a fun-filled bonding experience at what is famously known as “the happiest place on earth.” Adding to the excitement of the trip was the presence of Katseye member Sophia Laforteza, who joined the group during their visit.

In his caption, Leon reflected on how special it was to begin the year surrounded by people close to his heart. He expressed gratitude for the shared laughter, the simple joys of the trip, and the meaningful memories created during their time together.

Despite the growing buzz, neither Leon nor Sophia has released an official statement to confirm or deny the rumored relationship. Both remain silent amid the speculation, leaving fans to piece together clues from social media appearances and shared moments.
For now, what remains clear is that Leon Barretto’s recent posts highlight a joyful start to the year, filled with family bonding, laughter, and unforgettable experiences. Whether the rumored romance develops into something more or simply remains a topic of online chatter, supporters continue to watch closely, eager for any updates from the two young personalities.
