«The perfect antidote to sadness.» Madonna shares rare photos of her son Rocco Ricci’s life

The happy mother shared some intimate images of her eldest son’s recent painting display.


Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie has grown up, and his proud mother has provided a rare insight into his life as an outstanding painter.

Madonna, 66, shared a series of images on Instagram from her recent trip to London to support her 24-year-old son’s current exhibition.


«Escape to Paris to view my son Rocco’s exhibition ‘The Tourist’ and see pals. «Perfect antidote to sadness!» she captioned the image.

The singer posed with several of the blue-toned impressionist artworks before meeting Michele Lamy, the wife of fashion designer Rick Owens.

Madge also posted photographs of Ritchie, whom she enveloped in a warm embrace.

In April, the «Like a Prayer» singer visited Ritchie’s «Pack a Punch» exhibition in Miami. She was accompanied by her other children, younger son David, 18, daughter Mercy, 18, and 11-year-old twins Stella and Estere.

«So happy to have the night off to enjoy my son Rocco’s latest collection of paintings called ‘Pack A Punch’ inspired by Muay Thai fighters,» she said in a post dedicated to him on Instagram.


She recently commemorated Ritchie’s 24th birthday with a poignant nostalgic post highlighting the young artist’s development.

«HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROCCO—the long and winding road through all your many moods and incarnations has been tumultuous and full of surprises,» Madonna said on Instagram. «But through it all —your curiosity, and Artistic Soul has been the glue that held us together.»

In an April interview with W. Magazine about the completion of her career-spanning Celebration Tour, the pop singer spoke candidly about her artistic family.


«When I go on tour, nothing brings me more happiness than to know we are all working on the same show, creating the magic together,» she told me.

«Of course, I am their mother, so we occasionally get on one other’s nerves. We are an artistic family, but we are also a family, and this is what occurs.»
