Madonna used this Father’s Day to diss the dads of her children.
The 61-year-old “Material Girl” singer congratulated herself on the holiday Sunday, as she posted a series of snaps with her sextet of kids, while ignoring Carlos Leon and Guy Ritchie, the fathers of three of her children.
“Happy Fathers Day to Me and to every parent out there doing their best to Nurture, Guide, Inspire and Teach! #lola #rocco #david #mercyjames #estere #stella,” she wrote.
The “Evita” star also posted a video of herself introducing her father to the stage during one of her concerts alongside the caption: “Happy FATHERS DAY DAD!! The Real OG! Thank you for giving me a sense of justice and the confidence to know that i could fight for what i believe in and also the knowledge that nothing is for FREE and everything in Life Must be Earned!! 🙏🏼💙”
Madonna’s eldest child Lourdes’ father is Carlos Leon. The performer met the Cuban-born personal trainer turned actor in Central Park in 1994. The couple split three years later just months after Lourdes was born in 1996.
Ritchie is the father of her son, Rocco, who she gave birth to in August 2000, and of David, who they adopted from Malawi two years before calling it quits in 2008.
She then went onto adopt Mercy, 14 and twin girls Estere and Stelle, 7, all from Malawi as a single parent.
Since quarantine began the “Justify My Love” singer has shocked her Instagram followers with her highly unusual videos which have included lounging naked in a bathtub while intoning that COVID-19 is “the great equalizer.”
She was also roundly mocked for sharing a video of her son David dancing to Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us,” with the intention of honoring George Floyd.
