Leon Barretto tugged at the heartstrings of netizens with a touching message dedicated to his sister Claudia Barretto, who recently tied the knot with longtime boyfriend Basti Lorenzo.
In an emotional Instagram post, Leon looked back on their close bond as siblings and expressed deep admiration for Claudia, whom he credited for helping shape the man he is today.
“You’ve guided me toward the right path and passed on life lessons I’ll forever hold and remember,” he wrote.
Leon’s message was filled with love, gratitude, and admiration—not just for Claudia, but also for the kind of love she shares with Basti.
“My Claui just got married… Still can’t believe I’m saying that,” he began.
“My only wish for you is to be loved the same way you love—so deeply, so genuinely.”
Leon shared how he witnessed their love grow and endure through the years.
“I had the privilege of not only being watched by you as I grew up, but by Basti too. I witnessed a rare kind of love between the two of you—one that stayed strong through adversity.”
He went on to say how the couple continuously inspired each other to grow and become better versions of themselves.
Leon also gave a warm welcome to Basti, officially embracing him as part of the Barretto family. But despite someone new now caring for his sister, Leon reassured Claudia that she will never face life’s battles alone.
“Claui, I hope you know I’ll forever be here for you in times of hardship. Even though someone else will now look after you, as your brother, I won’t ever let you go through life’s challenges alone,” he promised.
“I am and always will be your biggest supporter and protector.”
