Madonna posted on Instagram a video in which she makes the "Mannequin challenge" with her foster children. Rocco commented on him like this: "So glad I no longer live there." A few days earlier, in London, hemp was found in his backpack after neighbors reported it to the police.
But who is Rocco Ritchie? What do we know about him?
Who it?
Rocco Ritchie is the son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie. Born August 11, 2000 in Los Angeles. Since his father is British, the guy has dual citizenship - the United States and Great Britain.
Rocco has an older sister, Lourdes (daughter of Madonna and actor Carlos Leon), brother David (adopted by Madonna and Guy Ritchie in 2006) and sister Mercy James, whom Madonna adopted in 2009, after her divorce from Guy Ritchie.
He also has brothers Rafael and Levy, sister Rivka - the children of Guy Ritchie and Jackie Ainsley.
Rocco was baptized at Dornoch Cathedral in Scotland on December 21, 2000, and the next day his parents got married at Skibo Castle. However, in December 2008, divorced.
Where did Rocco grow up?
Rocco Richie grew up in New York, Los Angeles and London. Having famous parents, he felt all the charms of stellar life: education in private schools, first-class travel, designer clothes.
Rocco traveled with his mother the whole world: on tours with Madonna he saw a beautiful life, and on travels associated with charity, he traveled to third world countries, where he became acquainted with a difficult and poor life.
The guy prefers to keep his personal life a secret, away from the cameras, which, apparently, is approved by his father, with whom Rocco Ritchie now lives in London.
Does Rocco have famous friends?
The guy is friends with the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn. They are often spotted at London Skate Park and in the cafe.
He is also friends with Anais, daughter of Noel Gallagher and Meg Matthews.
Who has custody of Rocco?
2016 was a difficult year for the guy, as his parents had a long and hard fight for his custody. It started back in late 2015, when Rocco abandoned Madonna’s “Rebel Hearts” tour and fled to London. He spent Christmas with his father, and in January refused to comply with his mother’s requirements (and violated a court order) - to leave his father’s house in London, fly to New York to live with her and return to school.
But he refused and, according to sources, prefers a laid-back life in London with his father and his wife, moreover, he has a girlfriend and friends here. There are also opinions that the guy is embarrassed and annoyed by sometimes overly explicit posts and banter on him, which Madonna writes on social networks.
In September 2016, Guy Ritchie received custody of his son, and now Rocco permanently resides in London.
