Emotional moment: In a heartfelt birthday tribute, Madonna has shared a collection of never-before-seen photos of her son, Rocco. The images reveal intimate moments from his early years, underscoring the emotional and tumultuous journey they’ve experienced together.

It is a very special, celebratory weekend for Madonna and her family

On Sunday, August 11, the “Like a Virgin” singer celebrated her son Rocco’s 24th birthday, and shared a touching tribute in his honor.

The birthday boy is the Desperately Seeking Susan actress’ second oldest child and firstborn son, who she shares with her ex-husband, director Guy Ritchie, to whom she was married from 2000 to 2008.

In honor of Rocco’s special day, Madonna took to Instagram and shared a round of photos of the 24-year-old, who is an aspiring actor, through the years.

She first shared a sweet pic of Rocco towering over her as she gave him a hug, followed by a video of him with his older sister Lourdes Leon from when they were kids, plus plenty of more throwback moments.

Through the photos, Madonna gave insight into Rocco’s personality, hobbies, and even past hair transformations, as she included photos of him both with long hair and a buzzcut, his impressive artwork, including an abstract portrait of his famous mom, plus more snaps of his fashionable self.

She went on: “But through it all — your curiosity, and Artistic Soul has been the glue that held us together,” adding: “Thank God for Art.”

Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post to gush over the birthday tribute, with one writing: “Madonna, the best mom!!” as others followed suit with: “What a beautiful and iconic post — so nice to see this side of you,” and: “What a lovely message. Happy Birthday Rocco!” as well as: “Happy birthday beautiful Rocco.”
