Madonna's 66th: Iconic star celebrates family joy in Italy

Madonna has enjoyed the title of an undisputed pop icon for over four decades. The singer, whose work has musically shaped several generations, has been surprised with numerous transformations and various experiments in the sound of her songs. Although many listeners do not follow her music, one of the most charismatic figures in foreign entertainment leaves no one indifferent. This is ensured by her long-cultivated controversial image and increasingly evident submission to the cult of youth.

The artist recently celebrated her 66th birthday in grand style. With all her kids and her partner, Akeem Morris, a Jamaican footballer over half her age, she has been enjoying Italian delights for the past few days. During their stay in Italy, they had another important reason to celebrate.

The world-renowned singer enjoys a great relationship with all her children, which is an extremely impressive achievement in show business. Although some of this six-person group have already left the nest, such as her eldest daughter Lourdes, who was born in 1996, or Rocco, born four years later, the star still lives with all her adopted children on a daily basis—19-year-old David, one year younger Mercy, and 11-year-old twins Stella and Esther.

During birthday week, Madonna prepared a special surprise for her only biological son, Rocco, who was celebrating his 24th birthday at that time. This was accompanied by private photos documenting the young man's celebration, a child of her relationship with British director Guy Ritchie.

La dolce vita - she titled the Instagram gallery.

What drew the most attention was their family portrait. The singer, dressed in a flowing lace dress, posed surrounded by her children. The birthday boy matched his mother’s style by wearing a shirt with a similar pattern.

A tight-knit family?
