Madonna has huge bust-up with ex-husband Guy Ritchie over whether son Rocco will join her for New Year’s holiday
MADONNA has clashed with ex-husband Guy Ritchie over whether their son Rocco will join her on a New Year family holiday.
The superstar mum of six, 61, ordered the 19-year-old to pack a bag for the Maldives after flying into London with her brood.
But film director Guy, 51, has told him he does not have to go if he does not fancy it, sources say.
Madonna lost a custody battle over Rocco in 2016 after he said he wanted to stay with his dad.
A source said: “Things had settled down between Madonna and Guy — especially with Rocco being a bit older — but this weekend it has all kicked off again.
“She’s put her foot down and is determined that Rocco should join her and his siblings. But not everybody seems to be on board with it. Nobody is budging.”
Madonna left New York for the UK on Friday with boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams, 25, daughter Lourdes Leon, 23, twins Esther and Stella, seven, and David Banda, 14, her adopted son with Ritchie.
The couple are now fighting over custody. Hints of their latest fall out emerged two days before Christmas when Guy headed to court in New York, asking for an “enforcement of a judgement or order” related to their 2008 divorce.
It’s understood the judge will consider the case on January 1.
Madonna and Guy adopted David from Malawi in 2006 when they were still married, and he regularly spends time with both parents.
The Queen of Pop looked strained as she arrived in the UK, having been forced to cancel the final gig of her current Madame X tour run due to suffering “indescribable pain” as a result of an injury.
In a lengthy statement on Christmas Day, she told fans she was “in tears from the pain of my injuries,” adding: “With every song I sang, I said a prayer that I would make it to the next and get through the show. My prayers were answered, and I made it.
“I consider myself a warrior. I never quit, I never give in, I never give up!! However this time I have to listen to my body. And accept that my pain is a warning.”
