Madonna delighted her social media followers by sharing a photo from the belated birthday celebration of her son, Rocco, who turned 22 on August 11th. In the pictures, the joyous mother sits at the table, embracing her eldest son from director Guy Ritchie, as they raise champagne glasses in celebration.

In the background of some shots, one can catch glimpses of the singer’s youngest children, Cifundo, and twins Stella and Esther Ciccone. However, her daughter Lourdes and son David Banda are notably absent from the photos, possibly joining in the celebrations at a later date. The Sicilian party seems to have had at least 16 guests, as evidenced by the long table beautifully set for the occasion. Rocco was treated to an unusual cake shaped like a brown briefcase, adorned with his initials “RC.”

For Rocco’s birthday, Madonna opted for a silk dress adorned with a delicate floral print, a departure from her usual experiments with corsets and latex, presenting a more gentle image this time. Her son, on the other hand, donned gray pants and a light blue shirt, casually unbuttoned at the chest.

Observant fans quickly noticed the striking resemblance between Rocco and his father, as echoed in the comments. The young man’s uncanny likeness to his dad prompted admirers to shower him with compliments on his birthday, expressing admiration for his looks.

Born in 2000 to Madonna and director Guy Ritchie, Rocco’s upbringing saw its challenges when his parents divorced in 2008. The teenager’s relationship with his mother became strained to the point where he decided to run away from her home and live with his father, expressing discontent with her controlling behavior. Rocco’s rebellious phase included an arrest at the age of 16 for possession and use of illegal substances.

In 2015, Madonna fought a custody battle with her ex-husband over their son, but she initially lost. However, the resilient singer managed to rebuild her relationship with Rocco over the past five years, demonstrating her determination to reconnect with her son.

Following in the footsteps of many star children, Rocco opted for a creative career path. He dabbles in painting and has successfully sold his artworks for substantial sums. Additionally, he engages in modeling work, posing for The Rake magazine at the age of 20, showcasing vintage-themed images.
