Madonna Shares Throwback With Son Rocco Amid Custody Battle

Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie have been embroiled in a rather public custody battle ever since Christmas, with both parents fighting for fifteen-year-old son Rocco.

The teen is said to have fallen out with his famous mother and even defied a court order to spend Christmas with her in America in favour of staying with his dad’s family in London.

Now, as the court date for their custody battle looms closer, Madonna has shared a touching throwback of herself with baby Rocco.

The star captioned the pic with: “Tu me manqué.”, which translates to “I miss you.”

The custody hearing is due to take place on March 2nd after being postponed from earlier this month and Madge is thought to be getting increasingly concerned for her son’s welfare after he was spotted smoking on London’s Southbank.

Sources have claimed that Rocco fell out with his mum when he was taken on her worldwide ‘Rebel Heart Tour’ last year, with the teenager reportedly finding his mum “too controlling” and that she doesn’t pay him any attention.

An insider recently revealed that Guy finds his ex-wife too “stern” a parent, explaining: “He wants Rocco to have the confidence he lacked growing up and thinks Madonna’s stern parental style is counterproductive.

"The welfare of Rocco is Guy’s priority.”

Rocco is currently living with Guy, his wife Jacqui Ainsley and their three children, four-year-old Rafael, three-year-old Rivka, and nineteen-month-old Levi.
