The Older Children: Art, Music, and High Fashion Take Center Stage
Madonna's two eldest children have spent 2025 solidifying their positions as serious, independent artists, moving beyond the shadow of their famous parents to achieve critical acclaim in their own right.
Lourdes Leon: The Lolahol Music and Fashion Empire
Lourdes Leon, known professionally in the music world as Lolahol, is currently the most public-facing of the Ciccone children. Her career in 2025 has been a two-pronged attack on the cultural zeitgeist: music and fashion.
On the music front, Lourdes has been actively teasing new releases following her previous tracks. In a March 2025 interview, she spoke openly about her desire for more sincerity and authenticity in the industry, signaling a serious commitment to her sound.
Simultaneously, Lourdes has cemented her status as a high-fashion model. She was a fixture at major events like Milan, New York, and Paris Fashion Week, often turning heads in daring, avant-garde gowns—a clear nod to her mother's iconic style, but with a distinctly modern and edgy twist.
Rocco Ritchie: The Contemporary Art Success Story
Rocco John Ritchie, Madonna’s son with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, has chosen a path far from the pop stage, establishing himself as a respected contemporary artist. He is known for his introspective, figurative oil paintings, often exhibited under the name "Rhed."
The biggest news for Rocco in late 2025 was his highly successful art exhibition in London. Titled Talk Is Cheap, the show featured his latest works and marked a rare, highly publicized reunion of his parents.
Both Madonna and Guy Ritchie attended the exhibition in December 2025 to support their son, a powerful moment that underscored Rocco's growing influence in the London art scene. The event was held at The Painting Room, further cementing his move from a celebrity child to a serious, sought-after painter.
The Younger Generation: Runway Debuts and Tour Collaborations in 2025
Madonna’s four adopted children—David, Mercy, Stella, and Estere—are all showing a profound aptitude for the arts, with David and Mercy making major public statements of their own during 2025.
David Banda: The Face of Gender-Fluid Fashion
David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie has become a powerful figure in the conversation around bold, gender-fluid fashion. In September 2025, he made his official runway debut at New York Fashion Week (NYFW), walking in the Off-White spring 2025 presentation.
At 20 years old, David is known for his fearless style, often wearing designer dresses and skirts, a choice his mother enthusiastically supports. His presence on the catwalk, following in the footsteps of his sister Lourdes, marked a significant moment in his emerging career as a model and fashion icon.
Mercy James and the Twins: Music and Dance on the Global Stage
Chifundo "Mercy" James and the twins, Stella and Estere, have spent much of 2024 and 2025 actively participating in their mother’s record-breaking Celebration Tour. This involvement has given the world a clear view of their emerging talents.
Mercy James, now 19, has demonstrated exceptional musical skill, often appearing on stage to accompany her mother on the piano during performances of the song "Bad Girl." Her surprise performances have consistently left fans speechless and highlighted her dedication to classical music.
The 13-year-old twins, Stella and Estere, have also been integral to the tour’s success, adorably dancing and voguing on stage alongside their mother, showcasing their natural flair for performance and choreography. They are frequently seen in coordinated designer outfits, continuing the family's tradition of making bold fashion statements.
The Enduring Influence of Malawi
A central, unifying theme in the lives of Madonna’s four youngest children is their Malawian heritage. Madonna’s commitment to the country, through her charity Raising Malawi, ensures that David, Mercy, Stella, and Estere remain connected to their roots.
Madonna has consistently emphasized the importance of their cultural identity, often sharing photos of family trips back to Malawi. This connection is not merely philanthropic; it is a foundational pillar of the family's identity, influencing their values and their creative expression as they grow into adulthood.
From Lourdes Leon’s avant-garde music as Lolahol to Rocco Ritchie’s quiet success as a painter, and from David Banda’s groundbreaking fashion to Mercy James' classical piano talent, Madonna’s six children are collectively defining a new generation of celebrity offspring—one focused on genuine, independent artistic achievement.
