Madonna's Son Rocco Ritchie Is a Budding Artist — Facts about His Career & Personal Life

Madonna's son Rocco Ritchie is slowly becoming his own man and is currently the founder of a rapidly growing art brand. Rocco Ritchie and his mother also appear to have reconciled after a period of estrangement.

Rocco Ritchie, Madonna's son with British director Guy Ritchie, is no longer the teenage boy who appeared with his parents on red carpets and was at the center of their famous custody battle in 2015.

The 21-year-old has grown into a handsome young man and is forging his path in the entertainment industry. Here are details about his personal life.

FACTS ABOUT ROCCO RITCHIE

Madonna's son Rocco John Ritchie was born on August 11, 2000, in Los Angeles, California, to the iconic singer and her former partner Guy Richie. His zodiac sign is Leo.

According to IMDb, Rocco was in "Sherlock Holmes" in 2009. He has also appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and was a dancer in his mother's "Madonna: the MDNA Tour" in 2013.

Rocco is also an artist who reportedly uses the pseudonym "Rhed." The talented artist, who is based in London, sells his work for nearly $29,000.

Information about Rocco being Rhed was disclosed by Too Faced Cosmetics co-founder Jarrod Blandino, who, after buying one of his works, lauded Rocco for shaking things up in the art world.

Rhed is presently represented by London's Tanya Baxter Contemporary Gallery, which has hosted two shows for the artist since 2008. Madonna and Rocco's father Guy Ritchie also attended Rhed's show in July 2020, further proving Rocco was the man behind the brand.

Besides paintings, Rocco is also a model and has been featured in different photoshoots. He has often modeled fashion from previous decades.

However, his passion for fashion is also evident in real life. Rocco has a mild presence on social media, and his Instagram page has almost eight thousand followers. However, he only uses the page to show off his paintings and other artistic works.

INSIDE ROCCO'S PRIVATE LIFE

Not a lot of information is available on Rocco. It's not known whether he is currently single or dating because he doesn't share his personal life on social media. However, there have been some hints over the years.

In August 2021, Rocco was spotted sharing a passionate kiss with a mystery girl during a romantic beach day in Sardinia. The artist and his brunette partner could not keep their hands off each other as they continuously made out while cooling off in the sea.

Rocco was also seen walking on the beach in black swim shorts while his beautiful partner donned a purple bikini. The pair looked smitten with each other and did not care about PDA.

However, several months later, it looked like Rocco and his brunette belle had split when he was spotted with another lady leaving Chiltern Firehouse in London.

The artist, who donned a tweed jacket and velvet slippers, looked happy while leaving the venue with the mystery girl in tow. Meanwhile, his red-headed partner wore a beaded crop top and satin slip skirt. She completed her look with a pair of leather mules and a silk duster coat.

ROCCO IS UNDER CONSTANT ATTENTION FROM THE PRESS

Although Rocco tries his best to stay away from the spotlight, having famous parents has him constantly under the microscopic view of the media. He always has paparazzi after him trying to get pictures and figure out his movements.

For example, in June 2021, while his mother and five siblings were in Michigan celebrating his grandfather Silvio Ciccone's 90th birthday, Rocco was spotted in London, leaving a private club. The artist looked sharp in a two-piece suit worn over a patterned shirt.

In May 2022, he was spotted arriving at an afterparty for his art exhibition at The Twenty Two in London. Rocco donned a burgundy velvet suit which he paired with a white shirt and red tie. He completed the look with black loafers. He was also seen posing for pictures with his sister Lourdes Leon, his mother's daughter with Carlos Leon.

ROCCO'S PARENTS WERE INVOLVED IN A CUSTODY BATTLE OVER HIM

Rocco Ritchie was born in 2000 to his parents Madonna and Guy Ritchie. However, by 2015, the couple had split and were involved in a custody battle over their son.

Despite a court order specifying that Rocco should return to the United States to his mother, he refused and instead stayed with his father in London. For several months after that, Madonna tried her best to plead with her son to go live with her, all to no avail.

During a performance in 2016, the singer dedicated the song "La Vie en Rose" to her son, telling the crowd she hoped he would see it and know how much she missed him. After nine months of dispute, the custody issue was eventually settled, although there was no indication of who Rocco would stay with.

Nowadays, however, it looks like mother and son have overcome their differences. In March 2022, the singer and Rocco were spotted leaving Harry's Bar in London. The singer donned a black turtleneck and black boots as she followed close behind Rocco, who was in a gray suit and brown dress shoes.

ROCCO HAS A BUNCH OF SIBLINGS

Although Rocco Ritchie has had media attention on him for a long time, he is not the only child of Madonna or his father, Guy Ritchie. His mother has five other kids apart from him.

Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon is Madonna's eldest child. She was born in 1996 to the singer and her then-personal trainer Carlos Leon.

Lourdes, a graduate of La Guardia School of Performing Arts in New York, is a model. Besides Rocco and Lourdes, the singer's other four children were adopted.

David Banda was adopted from Malawi in 2006 when he was barely a year old. He is now an aspiring football player. Mercy James was also adopted from Malawi in May 2009. Now 15 years old, Mercy is a talented piano player and singer.

Madonna is also a mother to Stella and Esther Ciccone. Rocco has four siblings on his father's side: David, Rafael, Rivka, and a child who was born in December 2020.
