Metal lee is Rock lee's son and that is pretty obvious based of the
similarities between both of them but what about his Mother?

At first, I thought it was Tenten because she seemed like the "best available
option", but then, since she has not really been an active "mother figure",
I'm guessing that's not the case. And if she were his mother then she would
have been more involved in his life. Except maybe there's a basis for her
absence?

boruto
What happened to Metal Lee's Mother?


As of now, _there is no official information who it is or what happened to
her_ , only rumors and theories. One such [theory](https://www.quora.com/Who-
is-the-mother-of-Metal-Lee-and-Rock-Lees-wife) is that it was Tenten. From
what I found, a Boruto movie's credits showed the following picture with the
new characters together with their parents at the back. One could say that it
might be Tenten. [![enter image description

As for official information, this the only thing I found, [a tweet with no
hints at all](https://www.tumblr.com/search/rock%20lee%20wife). [![enter image

There is also a cotnradicting 'information' circulating the Internet that
_Kishimoto said in an interview that he has not yet drawn Metal Lee's mother_
when asked if Tenten was Metal Lee's mtoher. This was posted in many sites but
without linking sources to the interview itself, apart from a [Tumblr
post](https://web.archive.org/web/20151013021553/http://cacatuasulphureacitrinocristata.tumblr.com:80/post/126215560096/was-
it-revealed-in-the-movie-whether-tenten-is) that claims Kishimoto said it in
an interview. A [Reddit
post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/3gb7u4/so_apparently_tenten/)
claims that the one who posted the Tumblr post was 'a reliable translator in
the Naruto fandom' but since _the original Tumblr post was long deleted with
no sources at all_ , I'm finding it real hard to believe this. I'm thinking
this is not true as of now due to lack of evidence.

To conclude, **we definitely cannot say for sure who Metal Lee's mother is or
what happened to her** , given the current information and the manga chapters
released.
