Since 1979, Madonna has been without a doubt the pop queen. She has created several hits, including “Like a Prayer,” “Papa Don’t Preach,” “Vogue,” “Ray of Light,” and “Music.”
Moreover, Madonna has participated in theater and is a published author.
The music legend was married to actor Sean Penn between 1985 to 1989; the two were at the time one of Hollywood’s power couples. Nonetheless, Madonna had wed Guy Ritchie by the year 2000, and she had a son named Rocco as a result.
Lourdes Leon, a daughter of Madonna and actor Carlos Leon, was born in October 1996. She also has two adopted children, David Banda (of Malawi), who is now 14 years old, and Chifundo Mercy James, who is also 14 years old.
More recently, in 2017, Madonna finished adopting twin sisters Esther and Stella from Malawi.
The entire group of Madonna’s adopted kids is shown below:
Well, they say that time flies, and although while some fans might find it hard to imagine, Rocco and Lourdes, Madonna’s two oldest children, are already adults.
The 23-year-old Lourdes looks just like her mother.
In 2016, Rocco moved to London to live with his father Guy Ritchie after Madonna lost a custody battle over him.
Rocco and Madonna have now made up, and his mother recently shared a message on Instagram to commemorate his 20th birthday.
Although Madonna may be many things to her adoring audience, she has shown that she is first and foremost a mother.
I’m not sure about you, but I’ll always be a huge Madonna fan. She isn’t flawless, but then again, nobody is.
