Cuban volleyball player Leonardo "Leo" Leyva, husband of influencer Iraisel Pintueles, recently shared his joy on social media as his son, Anthuan Leyva, received a U.S. visa while in Cuba.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Leyva uploaded a photo alongside his teenage son, embracing him and proudly displaying the open passport as evidence of the visa. The duo is pictured smiling on a Cuban street, with Leyva accompanying the snapshot with a profound personal reflection.
"I give a lot because I am a lot. I love to give everything I have and never regret it. If anyone wants to betray me, let them, but the one who loses is not the giver; it's the one who doesn’t know how to appreciate. Money doesn’t make the person. A bad person with money is worse; a good person with money is even better... Congratulations, my son. USA," he expressed.
The post was met with a flood of congratulatory messages and well-wishes from his followers, celebrating the family’s achievement and the potential for a fresh start for Anthuan beyond the island.
