Who is Leo's Father on Days of Our Lives?

The identity of Leo’s father on the show has been a continuous question in the storyline. Earlier in 2019 on Days of Our Lives, Diana Colville revealed that John Black was Leo’s father which came as a shock for both the characters and the fans. This claim had a direct impact on John and his current relationship with Marlena Evans.

However, the story takes a dramatic turn and the truth is revealed that John is not Leo’s father. It showed that Diana had tampered with the DNA test to manipulate John and create problems between John and Marlena.

John and Leo were both shocked after knowing that Diana had tricked them both for her own cause. Diana did this because she still had feelings for John and wanted to mess up his life and relationship with Marlena.

As the truth revealed that Diana had tampered with the DNA test, the question about who is Leo’s real father remains unanswered, as she was sent to prison for trying to kill Marlena. This unanswered question leads to speculations among the fans about who could be Leo’s father, and for how long it will remain a mystery.
