The world-famous American pop diva Madonna is one of the most prominent personalities who has given the world many famous singles, which today continue to captivate tens of millions of listeners around the world. Madonna also acted in films, wrote books, and even did a little directing. The extraordinarily talented, daring, scandalous queen of pop music has gone down in history forever, and her name is the loudest brand.
Any show or concert with the participation of a famous American singer instantly attracts the eye and causes a lot of controversy, delight and condemnation, this is all about Madonna. In addition to creativity, she leads a stormy personal life, which she does not hesitate to publicly declare.
Height, weight, age. How old is Madonna
Madonna's real name is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, few people know about this. Surely, there is not a single person who would not be interested in her height, weight, age. How old is Madonna is one of the most frequently asked questions regarding the singer. This is not surprising, since the form in which Madonna holds herself is simply amazing. With a height of 158 cm, she tries to weigh no more than 55 kg, but you should take into account that she is almost 60 years old. The singer's parameters are also close to ideal, and time and old age do not prevent Madonna from always being in shape.
Many young people cannot pull themselves together to get their bodies in order, but Madonna has no problems with this. In addition to proper nutrition, the singer regularly exercises, which can be seen by looking at her athletic shoulders and toned legs. For Madonna, nothing is impossible, and she has long proven this with her example.
Madonna's insolence and bad character manifested itself in childhood. Very often her performances are filled with sexuality, vulgarity and excessive looseness. Often the Internet searches for material on the topic: “Madonna in her youth without censorship.”
Biography and personal life of Madonna
The biography and personal life of Madonna attracts millions of glances; it is full of bright and colorful events, debauchery and scandals. The famous singer was born in the USA, Michigan. The family had many children, but due to the death of her mother, when Madonna was only 5 years old, her father married a second time. The stepmother did not really care about the children of her husband’s deceased wife, which partly strengthened the character of the future singer. It was then that she realized that in order to escape from this hell, to prove to herself and others that she was capable of more, she decided, at all costs, to become popular throughout the world.
Unfortunately, the father saw his daughter’s future completely differently, which led to frequent scandals. Madonna initially planned to become a great dancer by enrolling at the University of Michigan, but soon realized that this was not the path to fame.
To really achieve something worthwhile, young Madonna leaves the province for New York. Here, luck did not smile on her right away; for quite a long time she survived on small earnings, which were only enough for food. In the late 70s, Madonna tried her hand as a backup dancer, where her talents were noticed and she was offered a job as a dancing singer. Nevertheless, she refused the offer, and even tried to create her own group, performing rock music. But this venture was not crowned with success.
The founder of the Sire Records label, Seymour Stein, drew attention to Madonna. The singer captivated him and he, without hesitation, offered her an interesting contract to work together. The first recording of the album (1983) entitled “Madonna” was a failure.
However, the unsuccessful start did not lead the aspiring singer and her producer astray, and the release of the second album “Like a Virgin” blew up listeners. Madonna's subsequent albums instantly became hits and broke all records for popularity, occupying the top lines of international charts for many years.
The size of Madonna's fees, as well as the number of awards and prizes the singer has received, are very impressive. Her concerts are always different from the masses of others; Madonna constantly surprises and fascinates her fans with her manner of performance, creativity, and emancipation.
Apart from her singing career, Madonna also has a decent amount of experience in the film industry. Although she is less popular as an actress, her work in cinema did not go unnoticed. The singer often starred in erotic films with explicit scenes.
Few people know, but the queen of pop music also published several children's books and was the screenwriter and director of several films that appealed to the audience.
Despite the fact that Madonna often finds herself at the center of scandals, she is a true philanthropist, regularly donating proceeds from her concert activities to charity.
The personal life of the American singer is constantly visible; since she became popular, fans have already lost count, trying to count all her boyfriends.
Thanks to John Benitez, a famous producer, Madonna received a good impetus for the development of her career and met influential people in American show business. There were not just professional, but also personal relationships here.
Madonna's next boyfriend is the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat; the relationship between the young people did not last long.
Actor Sean Penn, with whom Madonna not only had an affair, but also tied the knot, became her husband for four whole years. In those days, they were one of the most beautiful and romantic celebrity couples.
The divorce was followed by many affairs, none of which resulted in a serious relationship. Madonna had short-term affairs with the most popular personalities, and gave birth to her daughter Lourdes from a fitness trainer. After the birth of her child, Madonna soon left her child's father. Then many organizations and the press accused the singer of frivolity and unwillingness to save her family.
The record for Madonna is an eight-year marriage with director Guy Ritchie. The couple has a son together named Rocco, who is already 18 years old. Guy Ritchie is not only a very influential and successful man in show business, but also an aristocrat. Madonna even took British citizenship, personally met with the Queen of Great Britain and began speaking with a British accent.
In addition to two natural children, Madonna first adopted a boy and a girl from Malawi, and a year ago she also adopted twin girls. Some consider this to be PR, while others are happy for the children who were rescued from poverty and misery.
Madonna is a lover of social networks, often pampering her fans with pictures and videos. One of the latest photos, in which Madonna without makeup, caused a storm of discussion that the singer had aged a lot.
The pop star just stalked Guy Ritchie
Almost two years after the birth of Lourdes, Madonna was invited to a party by rock musician Sting and his wife Trudie Styler. The American readily agreed and appeared at the Lake House estate, located in the English county of Wiltshire. That evening she saw 29-year-old director Guy Ritchie for the first time.
As Sting's servant recalls, at the party all they talked about was the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the filming of which was partially financed by Trudie Styler. Madonna was told that this is a very original story about underground gambling, gangsters and drugs. The director sat nearby, and they were joined by chief producer Michael Vaughn. Sting's wife said that they were looking for a company that could release a CD with a recording of the music for the film. Vaughn asked directly: would you be interested in such an idea? The singer showed unexpected increased interest. And not only for the film and the future disc... “My whole life flashed through my head. It was as if I was looking at myself from the outside, trying to understand, could this Brit like me? I was amazed by his self-confidence. There was something cocky and cocky about him...” Madonna later recalled.
She saw in him traits often attributed to herself. “He likes to take risks, he is constantly hungry in the good sense of the word,” she noted. Richie differed favorably from the vast majority of her previous lovers in that he made his own career. Madonna shared her impressions with her friend, actor Rupert Everett (they starred together in the comedy “Best Friend”; Everett does not hide the fact that he is homosexual). Rupert confirmed: “Guy works as hard as you do. Of course, he is not a boy for games...”
Madonna began to attack Richie. But his stubborn desire to make a career interfered with the development of their romance. They broke up and got back together again. Guy did not want to commit himself to promises. This was the main obstacle. Madonna dealt with another obstacle in the form of popular TV presenter Tanya Strecker, whom Richie dated for more than a year. Tanya is still sure that Guy was and remains the love of her life. A tall, leggy blonde blames the American singer for ruining her happiness. Richie was still living with Tanya when his first dates with Madonna took place. He ran to the American woman whenever she appeared in London. She did not leave Guy alone, even when flying to the USA, she wanted to know everything about him. Trudie Styler and Sting remember how Madonna once drove them crazy. It was in 1999 in one of the New York restaurants. The singer, not paying attention to those present at the table, constantly called Richie in London, tormenting both him and herself. Trudy couldn't stand it and told her that such pressure might scare Guy off or make him angry.
Madonna's family and children
Recently, Madonna's family and children have been discussed more and more often, partly due to the adoption of two more children from Malawi. At the moment, the singer is not married, but she is not deprived of the attention of men.
In 1996, she gave birth to her first child, daughter Lourdes. The girl adopted her mother's temperament and character and has already become quite a scandalous figure.
In 2000, Madonna gave birth to a son, Rocco, whose father is the famous Guy Ritchie.
While still married to Guy Ritchie, a Malawian boy was adopted.
Three years later, Madonna adopted Mercy James, also from an orphanage in Malawi.
In 2020, the singer again took children from a Malawian orphanage, this time two twin girls were the lucky ones.
The men in Madonna's life
Madonna once said the following about men: “I would like to meet a respectable man whom the public would love and I would be proud of.” There were many men in the life of the pop queen, but only a few managed to leave a mark on her heart. JOHN BENITEZ In 1984, Madonna met DJ and producer John Benitez, better known as Jellybean, who set the tone for the beginning of her musical career. The couple was introduced by musician Stephen Bray, with whom Benitez was collaborating at that time. The romance broke out instantly and lasted about two years. John took part in the recording of the singer’s famous hits: Everybody, Borderline and Lucky Star.
SEAN PENN In 1985, Madonna marries Hollywood actor Sean Penn. The marriage lasted five years, but it can hardly be called happy. Stormy showdowns, close attention from the press and the difficult character of the actor did not allow them to create a strong family. The boiling point was the offensive nickname that the press gave Sean, dubbing him “Mr. Madonna.” And the finale was the beatings that the drunken actor inflicted on his now ex-wife.
WARREN BEATTY Immediately after her high-profile divorce from Penn, Madonna embarked on a whirlwind of new entertainment. The singer’s next passion is actor Warren Beatty, whom Madonna met on the set of the film “Dick Tracy.” This novel caused a lot of controversy: some believed in their feelings, while others considered it a PR campaign for the film. Be that as it may, Madonna herself admitted more than once that she was simply crazy about the Hollywood heartthrob.
2PAC The romance between Madonna and the legendary rapper Tupac began in 1993, but the couple tried to keep the relationship secret. To direct questions, both answered that they were connected only by musical creativity. Only recently, more than 20 years later, in an interview with TV presenter Howard Stern, Madonna confirmed that in the mid-90s she actually had a love affair with Tupac.
CARLOS LEON In 1994, Madonna met dancer Carlos Leon, with whom she had a daughter, Lourdes Maria Ciccone-Leon, in 1996. After the birth of Lourdes, Madonna puts an end to their relationship and offers Carlos a significant fee in exchange for his renunciation of custody of the child. Madonna and Carlos still have a good relationship.
VANILLA ICE Next on the singer’s track record was the white-skinned American rapper Vanilla Ice, photographs of whom were published in Madonna’s “Sex” photo album. The singer openly called Vanilla her lover, and she was not at all embarrassed that the rapper was 11 years younger. Their romance lasted eight months, and the reason for the breakup was the singer’s character, which the musician did not like.
LUKE PERRY The star of the series “Beverly Hills, 90210” also did not escape the charms of the pop queen. They appeared together in public, did not hide passionate kisses, and did not explain their relationship to the public in any way. The affair with Perry became a fleeting hobby in the singer’s stormy personal life.
GUY RITCHIE In 1998, Madonna met British director Guy Ritchie. In 2000, Guy and Madonna had a luxurious wedding, and in the same year the couple had a son, Rocco. Beautiful and happy, they regularly appeared in public together, and it seemed that the strong Madonna had finally found a man stronger than herself. However, in 2008, the couple announced their divorce. This time the reason was the overly domineering character of Guy Ritchie.
JESUS LUZ After a long and difficult relationship with Guy Ritchie, Madonna plunges into an affair with Brazilian fashion model Jesus Luz. Their relationship created quite a stir in the press. The young and incredibly handsome Jesus was 28 years younger than the pop star, but this did not stop them from being together for about two years. In 2010, the romance ended on the initiative of Jesus. Rumor has it that the reason was too obvious an age difference and a lack of common interests.
BRAHIM ZAIBAT But Madonna did not suffer for long and found herself a lover even younger. The singer’s chosen one was a young dancer from her own ballet, Brahim Zaibat, who was… 29 years younger than her! The affair began in 2010 and lasted three years. In 2013, this relationship also failed: Madonna did not forgive Brahim for cheating with his partner on the show “Dancing with the Stars.”
TIMOR STEFFENS In 2014, Madonna began dating Dutch choreographer and dancer Timor Steffens. He was thirty years younger than the singer, the relationship looked promising, but the couple suddenly broke up while on vacation in Europe. Timor gave several interviews in which he spoke warmly of Madonna and said that he “didn’t feel the difference in age,” since his lovers were always older than him and he “learned a lot from them.”
KEVIN SAMPAYO Madonna has been dating handsome Kevin since 2020. The age difference was 33 years. Madonna has repeatedly said that she was impressed by the fact that Kevin “didn’t run to the press after the first date.” The young man works as a model with Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Armani. And he became closely acquainted with Madonna during the filming of the Bitch I'm Madonna video.
AKHLAMALIK WILLIAMS Madonna's latest passion. Just two years older than her daughter Lourdes. According to rumors, he has been dating the Queen of Pop for three months. Akhalmalik, the son of a military veteran, dreams of “changing the world through art.” The young man worked in the singer’s show ballet and participated in her world tour.
PS Not all of Madonna's men are represented in the post.
Sons of Madonna - Rocco, David
Millions of people around the world are concerned about children, and in particular Madonna’s sons – Rocco and David. Rocco is Madonna's son from director Guy Ritchie, and today he is already 18 years old. The guy dances and lives with his father of his own free will. After the divorce, Madonna fought for a long time for custody of her son.
Rocco recently appeared in public with his girlfriend, which was written about by many publications.
David is an adopted son from Malawi, enjoys sports (football, martial arts), and also studies vocals and playing musical instruments.
Why doesn't my son like Madonna?
Madonna posted her speech on the Internet about how Rocco doesn’t love her at all. She says that she tries only for the benefit and good future of the children, does not spare her strength, and earns them a worthy inheritance. Meanwhile, Rocco posts terrible reviews about his own mother online, calls her names, says that he dreams of running away from her.
Madonna's son actually wrote on the Internet that he hated his mother, his life and everything connected with her. He called her names in every possible way and threw mud at her. Perhaps it's just adolescence, hormones and everything else, but Madonna wrote that her son does not recognize her talent and he needs a mother who will always be nearby, standing at the stove to cook dinner.
Madonna's daughters - Lourdes, Mercy
Madonna's daughters, Lourdes and Mercy, also attract no less attention. Both girls are already adults and each is involved in music. Madonna's natural daughter Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon followed her mother's example and, already at such a young age, repeatedly became the center of scandals and discussions in the press.
Mercy is making great strides in music, especially when it comes to playing the piano. Videos often appear on the American singer’s social network in which her daughter Mercy charmingly plays the piano.
Uninhibited, scandalous and bitchy Madonna turned out to be a strict mother. She does not limit children in anything, but demands discipline from them and tries in every possible way to instill in them a worthy occupation in life.
Madonna does not prevent Leon Carlos from meeting with his daughter Lourdes
Among Madonna's many lovers after her scandalous breakup with Sean Penn, the singer's bodyguard Jimmy Albright stood out for some time. Their romance did not last long. Jimmy suited Madonna in bed, but irritated her in everything else. Six months after Albright was fired, Madonna saw his double. It happened in New York's Central Park, where the singer was jogging in the morning. When a muscular man passed her, she assumed it was Albright or his twin brother. Madonna asked one of her bodyguards, Danny Cortese, to find out everything about this runner. Danny found out that the guy's name was Carlos Leon. He works as a fitness instructor. Madonna was even more intrigued. She ordered Cortese to arrange a meeting for her with Leon.
Leon turned out to be a reasonable, attentive and reliable man. Madonna lived a quiet, calm life with him, very different from her previous one. Carlos made sure that they always managed to escape the watchful eye of reporters and fans.
Although Leon dreamed of becoming an actor, he did not ask Madonna to help him make a career. At least at the beginning of their romance. His behavior was impeccable. But one day Carlos lost his temper and showed the finger to the paparazzi waiting at the house. A very eloquent gesture displeased the singer, and she gave her lover a beating. However, while celebrating her 37th birthday in August 1995, Madonna hinted to friends that she had the most serious intentions for Leon. But she has not yet solved her personal problems, as she is trying to get a role in Hollywood that she has dreamed of all her life. We were talking about the film "Evita".
Its filming started in early 1996. And at this time Madonna realized that she was expecting a child. She was 2 months pregnant. The singer greeted this news with mixed feelings. She was both happy and worried that her unexpected situation would interfere with work on the film. On the set she was nervous, throwing tantrums, and looking very tired. And it literally blossomed when Leon arrived from New York. He brought her favorite treat - Red Hots candy.
On October 14, 1996, 38-year-old Madonna gave birth to a girl. This happened at the Good Samaritans Hospital in Los Angeles. The singer named her daughter Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon. But affectionate Lola soon supplanted all this officialdom. “The very understanding that you give life to another being and are responsible for it completely changed me. The birth of my daughter was my rebirth,” Madonna soon said.
As soon as Carlos and the singer began to be together all the time because of the child, it became clear to them that their relationship had reached a dead end. Leon was offended by press publications calling him a sperm donor. And then Madonna made it clear that she was not going to help him make a career in cinema or at least on the podium. She believed that he, as befits a man, should act independently. In May 1997, seven months after Lola was born, the lovers separated. The singer's close friend, famous actress and TV presenter Rosie O'Donnell is sure that they loved each other. “It was a real relationship. They tried their best to stay together...” Rosie emphasized while talking with Morton. Madonna took care of Lola's upbringing. But Carlos still often appears at her house. He is a caring father. The singer appreciates this and does not interfere with his meetings with his daughter.
Madonna's husbands - Sean Penn, Guy Ritchie
Madonna's husbands, Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, also played a big role in her life. The relationship with actor Sean Penn began in the late 90s. Their marriage lasted 4 years, the couple has no children together.
For the second time, the singer married the famous and talented director Guy Ritchie. After 8 years they divorced, the reason is not exactly known. The couple has a common son, Rocco, as well as a adopted boy from Malawi, David.
There really was love between Guy Ritchie and Madonna, not calculation or business. Madonna changed a lot during her second marriage and even sacrificed a lot to fit into her husband’s family.
The divorce will take place. Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Today something happened that all the social gossips have been talking about for the last few years. The world-famous American singer Madonna is divorcing British film director Guy Ritchie. Their marriage lasted almost 8 years, and today the singer’s press attache confirmed that the two famous people still failed to save it.
Report by Dmitry Malyshev.
The tabloid journalists breathed a sigh of relief. What they warned about has come true and now no one can accuse them of lying.
Gordon Smart, columnist for the Sun newspaper: “It was already difficult to call their relationship a marriage. Everything that these people do now for each other is more like doing some kind of hard work. Madonna and Guy Ritchie will announce their intention to divorce very soon. We know this from reliable sources. “Besides, I think over the past three weeks the celebrity couple has proven me right too clearly.”
The persistence with which the Sun newspaper has been discussing the upcoming news all day today, even before the divorce was officially announced, cannot but surprise.
At first we were shown Madonna and Guy Ritchie walking together, but the voiceover insinuatingly noted that the star couple spent this weekend on opposite sides of the Atlantic. While the paparazzi were tormenting the singer and her children in the USA, the lonely and tortured Guy Ritchie was trying to get rid of reporters in England.
Another detail escaped the tabloid. There are no wedding rings in any of the photos.
The Sun's source insists Madonna and her husband are divorcing because they have different views on the future. The singer wants to adopt another child, but Richie believes that three children is enough for them. The couple have two sons: their own, 8-year-old Rocco, and their adopted son, two-year-old David Band. There is also a 12-year-old daughter of the singer from her first marriage, Lourdes.
Max Clifford, public relations agent: “Already towards the evening, for some reason I was sure that this time the Sun tabloid had really gotten to the bottom of the truth. Although, on the other hand, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are two absolutely bright individuals. Both have brilliant careers and, unfortunately, it happens too often that such marriages become a victim of career ambitions.”
They also say that the couple made the final decision to separate after many attempts to establish family life. Richie deliberately interrupted filming in France to inform his parents about the divorce. The singer plans to leave Britain and return to the USA with her children.
The same “Sun” writes that the pop star has established relations with Lourdes’ father, who is now in the states. For the past few months, he has been living in Madonna's New York apartment. Who knows, maybe this time the tabloid will be right.
Madonna's Instagram and Wikipedia
If you want to find the latest and detailed news from the singer’s life, you can look online; the best sources are Madonna’s Instagram and Wikipedia. The singer practically lives on the social network, spends a lot of time, there are very few advertisements and posters here, but personal photos and videos abound.
Recently, Madonna has been focusing on her family, paying more attention to her children. Proof of this is millions of photographs of six children. According to her, motherhood has changed her a lot, she feels responsible for the children, takes them to sports and music, and tries to devote enough time to them.
