Mother’s Day weekend was certainly a lavish affair for pop icon Madonna, who revels in spending time with her six children via Hello Magazine.
The singer, is a mom to six kids: daughter Lourdes Leon, 28, with ex Carlos Leon; Rocco Ritchie with ex-husband Guy Ritchie; Chifundo “Mercy James,” 19; David Band, 19; and twins Stella and Estere, 12, all of whom were adopted.
For Mother’s Day 2025 on Sunday, May 11, the star took to her Instagram account with a collection of celebrations past with her kids, and included a new portrait of herself surrounded by them over the weekend.
Lourdes, Mercy James, David, Stella and Estere all posed beside their mom in their lush and sun-soaked backyard for a new family portrait, missing only Rocco.
No explanation was given for his absence. Rocco is now a renowned artist, formerly going by the name “Maison Rhed,” and is currently based in London, possibly explaining why he wasn’t present for the celebration.
“I spent Mother’s Day weekend with 5 of my 6 children. Sunshine laughter, horseback riding. soccer, and the sound of music!” Madonna captioned her post.
“The best gift they gave me was the gift of not arguing and being loving to one another,” she continued. “When you raise children to be unique and opinionated, you also create your own debate team!!!”
“Motherhood could never be described with a few words. Nothing can prepare you. Happy Mother’s Day!! To All the Women out there doing the Heavy Lifting!”
Fans reacted by inundating the star with heart emojis galore in the post’s comments section, and leaving other comments like: “Happy Mother’s Day to our queen mother Madonna,” and: “What wonderful words!” as well as: “They are so lucky to have you as their mother. I am so happy that you spent this special day with almost all the most important people in your life.”
