She shares her first child, Lourdes, 28, with her then-boyfriend, fitness trainer Carlos Leon. After splitting from Leon in May 1997, she welcomed son Rocco, 24, with director Guy Ritchie in Aug. 2000. The songstress later welcomed twin daughters Stella and Estere, 12, daughter Mercy, 19, and son David, 19, through adoption.
In 2017, Madonna appeared on the cover of PEOPLE and opened up about her life at home with her children and her emotional adoption journey.
“Sometimes I would just close my eyes and just think, ‘Why isn’t my kitchen filled with dancing children?’ There’s so many children that need a home,” she said. “I thought, ‘What am I waiting for? Just do it.’ “
Madonna has been open about how being a mother of six isn’t always easy. The singer told Vanity Fair in January 2023 that motherhood “has been the most difficult, the hardest battle,” adding, “Today I am still struggling to understand how to be a mother and do my job.”
“Because, whoever you are, having children and raising them is a work of art,” she continued. “And no one gives you a manual. You have to learn from mistakes. It is a profession that requires a lot of time. And it is exhausting because there is never rest.”
