Madonna Tears Up Discussing Son Rocco on Tour During Custody Battle
- 8 years ago
Madonna's contentious custody battle with ex-husband Guy Ritchie over their 15-year-old son Rocco seems to be taking its toll.
The Rebel Heart singer mentioned Rocco during a Friday night tour stop in Auckland, New Zealand, according to video obtained by TMZ, and became visibly overwhelmed.
"There's no love stronger than a mother for her son, and if I talk about him too much, I'm going to cry," she told the crowd, before saying she would dedicate her next song, "La Vie en Rose," to Rocco.
"I hope he hears this somewhere and he knows how much I miss him," she said.
Madonna, 57, and Ritchie, 47, have spared for months over their son.
At a New York Supreme Court hearing on Wednesday, the exes' lawyers, Rocco's court-appointed attorney and the judge agreed that the 15-year-old will remain in London with his father, as they work toward settling the custody dispute out of court.
