In the midst of a custody battle against estranged husband Guy Ritchie, Queen of Pop Madonna posted yet another photo of her children on Instagram.
The photo was taken years ago when her three kids, namely Lourdes Leon, David Banda, and Rocco Ritchie, were still young. Her Instagram post, which she captioned "Love Conquers All," showed the Queen of Pop sweetly embracing her youngsters.
However, according to some netizens, Rocco Ritchie himself blocked his mother from seeing his social media posts. They said that the 15-year-old Rocco felt like Madonna treated him more as a "trophy" than as a son.
Rocco claimed that Madonna created posts that "embarrass him." Fans believed that this strain in the mother-son relationship might have been brought by her insistence for him to post a catalogue of his awkward photos.
"It's not a great sign that Rocco is blocking his mum on social media, especially after all the rumors that she was embarrassing him with her posts about him," a source told The Sun.
As of now, Madonna is facing a bitter custody battle for Rocco against her former spouse, Guy. Despite this, Rocco reportedly expressed his desire to stay with his father and stepmother. Rocco and Guy were previously seen in London before the judge on trial asked him to return to New York.
According to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan, Rocco will receive a court-appointed attorney for the case. "If he wants to stay with his father, he must return to his mother," Kaplan said.
After the hearing in New York, Madonna also posted a photo of her and her son even though Rocco himself was far away. Her caption sent a Christmas greeting to the "Sun-shine" of her life, which pertains to Rocco himself.
Madonna and Guy broke up in 2008 after a seven-year long relationship. They adopted David, now ten years of age, back in 2006.
