On Tuesday, April 8, Claudia Barretto married her longtime partner Basti Lorenzo in an intimate ceremony at St. James the Great Church in Muntinlupa. Their close family and friends attended the quiet yet elegant affair.
The newlyweds, who have been together for ten years, continued the celebration with a reception at The Lakehall at Nena's Sanctuary, a stunning venue in Sta. Elena Golf and Country Estate, Santa Rosa, Laguna.
The couple kept everything refined, simple, and elegant from the ceremony to the reception and even their wedding looks. Claudia wore an off-shoulder gown with a soft A-line silhouette from Rosa Clara's 2025 collection.

Claudia's mom, Marjorie Barretto, siblings, and dad, Dennis Padilla, were at the wedding. Juliana Gomez, Richard Gomez, Lucy Torres-Gomez, and sisters Ella and Hannah Pangilinan were also present.

Leon and Dani Barretto pen heartfelt letters for their sister Claudia
A few days after Claudia's wedding, her younger brother Leon posted a heartfelt letter on Instagram dedicated to "his Claui" and his new brother-in-law. In the post, he expressed his love and support for the couple.
Leon began the letter by reflecting on how his bond with Claudia had evolved—from constant bickering as kids to becoming each other's confidants.
"When we were young, it was almost automatic how we'd bump heads. But as time went on, we became each other's confidant and go-to person. I'm truly grateful for how close we've become—knowing everything about each other without judgment, only love and comfort."
Leon also shared how his sister played a big role in shaping him into the man he is today, saying she helped guide him in everything from "how to talk to girls properly" to "how to be a gentleman." "You've guided me toward the right path and passed on life lessons I'll forever hold and remember."

He said, "My only wish for you is to be loved the same way you love—so deeply, so genuinely [...] I witnessed a rare kind of love between the two of you—one that stayed strong through adversity. Some people may not see it, but I do. And I know you've helped each other become the best versions of yourselves over the years."
Leon added, "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. I am, and always will be, your biggest supporter and protector."
"I pray for a happy marriage ahead. Continue to protect your peace and joy—don't let anyone or anything take that away."
Claudia's response was simple yet heartfelt: "I'm incredibly lucky to have you."
