The Cuban volleyball player Leo Leyva ignited social media with a comment on Instagram that his followers quickly interpreted as a direct message to his ex-wife, the influencer Iraisel Pintueles, just a few months after they both confirmed their divorce.
It all started when the athlete shared a video of himself with the overlay text: "YOU CAUGHT ME VERY INNOCENT AT THAT TIME I GOT MY REVENGE NOW WHAT'S THE SCARED." The post was reshared by Un Martí To Durako accompanied by the caption "OEEEE TIRAERAAA FROM @kingleo16 FOR IRAIIIIISEL," gathering over 1,450 likes and 114 comments in just a few days.
Far from ignoring the uproar, Leo Leyva peeked at the comments and left a phrase that added fuel to the fire: "I am happy where I am and with whom I am. It has always been the same. Those who know, know. I was born of a woman; there is no way to disrespect anyone. Blessings from this part of the world to you and your loyal followers, who even entertain me as they draw their conclusions."
The message, which received 75 likes, was immediately interpreted as a confirmation that the athlete has a new partner and that this relationship goes back further than many had assumed.
The hints of this new relationship also surfaced on the profile of a young woman identified as @mssrosell_02, who is said to be the new partner of the Cuban volleyball player. In his latest post, Leo didn’t hold back on the details: he left several comments with heart emojis and, to top it off, wrote in Italian "La mia cosa ricca" — "My sweet thing" — which his followers took as official confirmation of the romance.
The young woman had accompanied her post with a phrase in Italian as well: "We were walking without searching for each other, but knowing that we were walking to find each other." Quite romantic, to say the least.
The followers' reactions were varied. One user didn't hold back: “@kingleo16 says it's the same story as always, so why did you marry Ira and build all that? You're ridiculous. Come on! Good thing they let you go." Another follower suggested that the most elegant response would have been to not reply at all.
The sentimental background is well-known to those who follow the couple: Leo and Iraisel got married on May 23, 2025, in an intimate ceremony in Cuba, but the marriage lasted less than 13 months. Last July, Iraisel confirmed the divorce with a succinct "Yes" in an Instagram story, without providing further explanations.
Since then, each of them has gone their separate ways: Iraisel was linked to a new romance in August, and even expressed her desire to get married again. Now it is Leo who is in the spotlight, with a new partner, comments in Italian, and a phrase that says it all for many: "The one who knows, knows."
