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. Due to his birth month, Rocco’s Zodiac sign is Leo.

According to IMDB, Rocco is an actor and has starred in a couple of movies, including “I’m Going to Tell You a Secret” in 2005, “Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2003, and “Madonna: the MDNA Tour” in 2013.

Rocco is also an artist who reportedly uses the pseudonym’ Rhed.’ The talented artist based out of London has his paintings with feature color, Picasso and Gauguin-esque figures selling, costing about £24,000.

The Information about Rocco being the artist behind the ‘Rhed’ signature name 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.

The brand ‘Rhed’ is presently represented by London’s Tanya Baxter Contemporary Gallery, which has hosted two shows for the brand since 2008. Madonna and Rocco’s fatter 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 sometimes featured in different photoshoots. He is often seen modeling elegant old-fashioned style of clothing.

However, his passion for those threads is also evident in real life. Rocco has a mild presence on social media, although he has an Instagram page with 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 if Rocco is currently single or not because he’s rarely seen on and off social media. However, there have been some pointers 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 get their hands off each other as they continuously kissed 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 young looked so in love with each other and did not care about their PDA vibes.

However, several months later, it looked like Rocco, and his brunette partner had split when he was spotted with another lady leaving a 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. His blazers also featured contrasting yellow checked sleeves.

Meanwhile, his redhead partner wore a beaded crop top and satin slip skirt. She completed her looks with a pair of leather mules and a silk duster coat. Although his relationship status remains unconfirmed, Rocco is doing very well, especially with how good his art brand is.

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 the media 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 after-party 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 then 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 INTO 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 drawn into a custody battle over their son.

Yet after a court order that Rocco 15 should return to the United States to his mother, he refused, instead staying with his director’s father in London. For the preceding months, Madonna tried her best to plead with her son, all to no avail.

During a performance in 2016, the singer emotionally dedicated the song “La Vie en Rose” to her son, telling the crowd she hoped he would see 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 Harrys Bar in London. The singer donning a black turtleneck and high-waisted boots, followed close behind Rocco 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.

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 by Madonna. 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 another daughter born in December 2020.
