The "Queen of Pop," who seems to radiate eternal beauty, is the mother of 6 gorgeous children. While it's difficult to process that the famous singer is well over her 60s, while she still looks not a single day over her 35th birthday, seeing the maternal side of Madonna is even more astonishing.
The singer has a successful singing career spanning over 40 years and has received much critical acclaim for her chart-topping tracks. Not only is she a known name in the music industry, but is also a known figure in the acting and modeling world. Though you might know all of her songs, there are not many people who know Madonna's family of six children. Here is everything you need to know about all of them!
Lourdes Leon

Lourdes Leon has grown up to be a celebrity and earned the status through sheer hard work and dedication. The star has a successful career in acting and dancing and is the eldest child of the "Material Girl" singer. The lady was born in October 1996 to Madonna and fitness trainer Carlos Leon. Lourdes takes after her mom when it comes to her music taste and fashion. In fact, her mom had enrolled her into dance classes when she was only a toddler.
Lourdes later told Vanity Fair, “My mom really went hard for that once she saw there was potential.” The actress pursued a study in dance from the SUNY Purchase dance academy, where she transferred from the University of Michigan. Apart from her various talents, Lourdes also has a directing credit to her name, where she shot a winter campaign video for Stella McCartney back in 2020.
Rocco Ritchie

The oldest son of Madonna, Rocco Richie, is the only child Madonna had with guy Richie. Madonna and Richie had married back in 1998, and the couple had their only child together in 2020. Rocco is 21. The boy takes strongly after his father and bears a strong resemblance to the Sherlock Holmes director. In fact, Guy Richie and Madonna had a fierce battle when they split up and had to take custody of Rocco.
David Banda

Madonna's second son is David Banda, whom she adopted from an orphanage in Malawi while she was there for funding. David himself is a great fan of dancing, and his mother once posted a video of the young guy in a white dress, dancing his heart away. But apart from dancing, David also excels at fashion and soccer. The young athlete was last seen playing a soccer match in July, and Madonna posted a video of her cheering her son on. In fact, the doting mother had migrated to Lisbon back in 2017, so that David could pursue his goal of becoming a celebrated soccer player. The boy was also seen standing alongside Madonna as she performed a hit number.
Mercy James
Mercy James is Madonna's second daughter, aged 15, and also adopted. The young lady was introduced into the family in 2009 and barely likes being in front of the camera. As a matter of fact, Mercy likes dabbling in extreme sports and is pretty athletic like her elder brother, David. Madonna had visited a skate park back in January last year, where they together celebrated Mercy's 15th birthday.
The two also like spending time on beaches together. Mercy also nicked a medal at a gymnastics competition in 2016, and her mother had congratulated her for the same. The young lady had also stood by her mother as Madge performed on a stage in Portugal.
Stella And Estere Ciccone
The youngest flowers in Madonna's garden of a family are twins Stella and Estere Ciccone. They are 9 and were adopted into the family in 2017, at the age of 4. The twins are also from Malawi. Recently, Madonna shared a cute video of celebrating the birthday of her twins back in August. The young children can be seen in cute, matching outfits on Madonna's Instagram account.
Just recently, all of Madonna's children could come together to celebrate the birthday of the Queen of Pop. The family had a vacation in Switzerland, from where Madonna posted an array of pics to her social media feed on January 7, Friday. The cutest of all the photos was where the whole of the family was together, including the singer and the six siblings.
The family spent their vacations in the Swiss Alps and stayed at the Gstaad resort. The birthday event was also attended by Madonna's boyfriend, Ahlamalik Williams. Bidding adieu to the great time the family had during their vacation, Madge wrote, “Farewell Gstaad……….We will never forget your Mountains or your Moonshine!”
The family bonded over Elvis Presley songs, and Madonna also shared videos of herself skiing, walking with Rocco, and another video of herself with her youngest children. The family had shared another close event last year at Thanksgiving, and while everyone was included in the pictures, Rocco was missing.
