Lotlot De Leon Decides to Move Abroad: A New Beginning or the End of a Family?

May 1, 2025 – Manila, Philippines
In a surprising yet emotional move, veteran actress Lotlot De Leon has officially decided to leave the Philippines to settle abroad. This move not only marks a new beginning for her but also causes strong reactions in her family and fan community, especially from her close sister Matet De Leon.

Not an Easy Decision
According to sources close to Lotlot, she has been quietly preparing for this departure for many months. Although the destination has not been clearly revealed, many believe that she will reunite with her children and husband who are currently living or planning to settle abroad. This is not an impulsive decision, but the result of many years of enduring psychological pressure and cracks in family relationships.

“She needed peace,” a close friend of Lotlot’s shared. “She had been fighting for so long. Emotionally, mentally, spiritually, she was exhausted.”

Lotlot, although not one to speak out about the scandals surrounding his famous family, has become the center of attention after the inheritance disputes in his adoptive mother’s family – actress Nora Aunor – were exposed. According to what was shared, some adopted children, including Lotlot, were excluded from the list of heirs, causing no small amount of controversy and deep hurt.

The Last straw?
Over the years, the De Leon family has been the focus of the press many times because of internal conflicts. Although one of the most beloved families of Philippine showbiz, deep disagreements about rights, feelings and trust have caused members to grow increasingly distant.

Lotlot’s choice to leave is seen by many as “the last straw” – an inevitable reaction when all efforts at reconciliation have failed.

Matet De Leon The Man Who Stays With a Broken Heart Broken
Among those most affected by this decision, Matet De Leon – Lotlot’s closest sister – could not contain her emotions. According to witnesses, when Lotlot announced the decision to Matet, the two hugged and cried for hours. This deep sisterly bond has long been a rare bright spot in a family full of conflicts.

“Lice have always been my support. Now, I feel like I have lost half of myself,” Matet shared in tears.

On social media, she wrote a short but emotional status: “There are goodbyes that cannot be said… but can only be felt. 💔”
The post quickly went viral and touched the hearts of thousands of fans.

Fan Community Reacts
As soon as the news was confirmed, fans everywhere expressed their regret but also showed their support for Lotlot’s decision. Hashtags like #LotlotDeLeon and #StayStrongMatet quickly climbed to the top of the trending list, accompanied by a series of loving messages.

“Sometimes, distance is necessary to find yourself again,” wrote one online user. “But the love between Lotlot and Matet will never be lost.”

Many people believe that Lotlot’s actions are very courageous, especially when she chose peace instead of continuing to live in an environment full of stress and pressure.

Broken Family – Is There Still a Chance to Fix It?

One of the things that has hurt public opinion the most is the prolonged silence of Nora Aunor – who was once considered the center of the family. Her failure to publicly respond to property disputes or the rift with her adopted children has left fans wondering: Has everything gone too far to be saved?

However, amid the endless regrets, there is still hope. Some loyal fans still believe that family love is sacred, and no matter how broken, it can still be mended if there is sincerity.

“Let her go find peace,” one commented. “But don’t lock the door. A broken family can still be together if there is love.”

A New Beginning for Lotlot?
Although leaving in tears, Lotlot’s decision could also be the beginning of a new journey – a journey of more freedom, peace and independence. Over the years of her artistic career, she has always been known as a private, powerful and emotional person. Now, when all the spotlight is gradually giving way to simplicity, perhaps what she needs most is a peaceful life with her loved ones.
