Leo and Noelle met in 1945 when Leo was turned into a vampire by another soldier. As the only Moreau left, Noelle owned and ran her family's bar which she then hired Leo to work at as a bartender. Throughout the early years of his vampirism, Noelle helped him adjust and they became best friends.

Davina Claire
""You've helped me fill a void I didn't even realize I had.""

- - Leo to Davina

Leo and Davina met later on in season one. As the series went on, they became more and more smitten with each other. Noelle was the first to tell both of them that they needed to definitely stop trying to avoid their feelings and deal with them. Leo and Davina, as everyone notes, are two different types of people that compliment and balance each other out. When Davina dies, Leo becomes devastated. After Kol unlinks her from the Hollow, her and Leo leave New Orleans to begin a life together. They are married seven years later as of the season five premiere.

Kol Mikaelson
Leo and Kol were civil but Leo admitted to Davina and Noelle that he had reservations about him after all he put Noelle through. As time went on, he became best friends with Kol, tagging along with him and Noelle to wherever they go.
