[edit]

Padilla has seven children. In 1990, Padilla separated from Monina Gatus, after having 2 children. Eldest, Luis Emmanuel Gatus Baldivia finished Political Science and Government at De La Salle University in 2013, earning Master of Business Administration Public Administration at UP Diliman in 2020. He works as associate project officer at Development Academy of the Philippines. His eldest daughter is a trans woman, Diane Gatus with Diane Baldiva, born on January 2, 1990 and legally married Katx Balmes in USA.

With Padilla's mid-1990 relationship, he married Marjorie Barretto in 1995. Eldest Julia Barretto was born in 1997, while Claudia Isabelle was born on July 26, 1999 who released her first single "Stay" in 2007, signing with Viva Artists Agency as a talent. She finished Bachelor of Arts Psychology at the Ateneo de Manila University in 2022. Leon Marcux was born on April 2, 2003, and is a Dean's Lister, studying Marketing at University of Asia and the Pacific in 2023. On August 1, 2014, Padilla, assisted by Attorney Jose Virgilio "JV" Bautista, filed with RTC, Branch 126, Quezon City, a Petition to Annul a Court decision which allowed Claudia Isabelle to use Barretto instead of Baldivia as legal surname.[3]
