THEthe whole world wishes her well. Because today, August 16, Madonna turns 64. Needless to say, she does not show them: eternal adolescent, inside and out, what she is. To celebrate, the pop star has chosen Italy. In particular Sicily (has just published a video of his arrival on his social networks) and the Baroque Known, where he organized a very armored party in an exceptional location: the magnificent Castelluccio Palace, a combination of wealth, elegance and power. With her (not official, but very likely) the son David Bandawhat follows her practically everywhere and what (above all) resembles her most among her children like way of thinking and lifestyle.
Madonna, Italy is a passion
Already the past few years Madonna she had chosen an Italian destination to celebrate her birthday: she had been in Pugliain the Salento resort Borgo Egnaziaboth to celebrate 59 years in 2017, and last year, when he invited guests to take a “musical journey” on a vintage regional train.
Now it has hijacked on Known. As we said, he witnessed his arrival in Sicily by posting a video on Instagram (above). For the rest, very little information is leaked in advance. It is only the local press that, noticing a bit of turmoil in the Sicilian town, has understood that the party will take place outdoors, under the stars at Castelluccio Palaceeighteenth-century house-museum now owned by Jean-Louis Remilleux, French television producer, best known for making the film Cyrano (directed by Joe Wright). Vip guests and celebrities are expected. And he expects him: David Banda, Madonna’s shadow son, with which the pop-star has a very special relationship.
David always next to his mother Madonna
IS David Banda who accompanied, a handful of days ago, Madonna al The Tonight Showprogram where the singer-songwriter had gone to present the his latest album Finally Enough Love out on August 19 and where did it a “show” slapping host Jimmy Fallon (Mom and son were spotted together at Jfk Airport traveling to Los Angeles after the Tonight Show).
Among his six children, it is with David that Madonna shows herself more in her shots on social media. David is still the son who gives his mother the style gifts she most appreciates. For example, the photos posted by Madonna on his Instagram at the end of May in which they see the two neighbors, he is wearing a long vintage red dress made in Gucci / Adidas (Madonna wore a virtually identical one in 1993).
It is for David that Madonna in 2017, when he was 12, left the States to move to Lisbon, Portugal, looking for a great football academy for kids. David had indeed the aspiration to become a professional footballer (after playing for Benfica, he returned last year to Los Angeles to play in the Juventus Academy, the Juventus branch in the United States).
And it’s David what he manifests, more than the other children of Madonna, an artistic nature combined with an overwhelming desire to emerge (a characteristic that led Madonna to become Madonna and which unites her and David).
Madonna and her tribe of six children
The pop star makes no secret of wanting another child. And she already has six. The largest is Lourdes Leon said Lola25, had with a personal trainer Carlos Leon. Then, there is Rocco, 21, had with the director and ex-husband Guy Ritchie. It is during the marriage with Ritchie that David enters the family of Madonna: born in Malawi, orphan of motherMadonna sees it in 2006 in an orphanage in the African country suffering from a serious shape of pneumonia, survived malaria And tuberculosis. The singer immediately decides to adopt it, raising a great deal of fuss as the laws of Malawi they expected the parents to stay a year in the country for the adoption, which Madonna and Ritchie did not do (“They were unwritten laws,” she justified herself several times). In 2008 Madonna separated from Ritchie and adopted, also in Malawi, in 2009 Mercy James, 15, and in 2016 the twins Ester and Stella, almost 10.
The quarrels with Rocco
Being Madonna’s children doesn’t have to be easy. We are not talking about the opportunities that are undoubtedly superior, because all the doors he wants are open to the son of a star. But let’s talk about the intimate, parental relationship that binds a child to the mother. Having a mom like Madonna, exuberant, rampant, transgressive, provocative, some imbalance can bring it. We certainly know that the star has a lot of problems with her two biological children. Especially with Rocco, with which a lawsuit even arose because he did not want to be at home with his mother. Indeed now Rocco lives in London with his father and his new wife Jacqui Ainsley. For her 22 years, which turned on August 11, she toasted with her mother, also in Sicily (you can understand from her shots that Madonna has just published on her Instagram in which she is precisely with Rocco, below her).
Lourdes without ambition
And then Lola. THEn theory is that from the mother, perhaps more than all the other children, he inherited the transgressive and provocative act. Model much loved by brands, caused a sensation by parading on the catwalk with hair on the legs and under the armpits. It soon became body positivity icon. However, in essence, mother and daughter do not “take”. L‘Madonna clearly said in a recent interview with Vogue Uk. in which he spoke outspokenly about the relationship with his children.
“Lola is full of talent, ”said Madonna,“ I am green with envy because she is incredible in everything she does. She is an incredible dancer, she is a great actress, she plays the piano beautifully, she has many more talents than me, but she does not know how to exploit because she does not have no determination. I try to give you examples of other celebrity children like Zoe Kravitz, the daughter of Lenny Kravitz, who worked hard on the same problem (being the daughter of…, ed) and has now gained great credibility as an actress. But with Lola it’s useless. It’s always my fault for her. “They attack me, because in reality they have it,” is his favorite phrase. The truth? It doesn’t have my ambition. Does it have the same will that I have? No. But she also has a mother, and I never did. She grew up on money, and I didn’t. So everything is different. I can only say that I did my best with her. ‘
David is the favorite son
Instead, there is a great understanding between Madonna and David. And the pop star made it clear in the same interview with Vogue Uk. “What David has, “explained the pop star,” is concentration and determination and I’m pretty sure who took them … He is the son I have the most in common with. It’s amazing, isn’t it? He is not my biological son but he is the only one to have inherited my true DNA“.
