The slideshow begins with a selfie in a hotel room, featuring Madonna wearing a flower crown. It’s accompanied by a snap of the singer posing with Lourdes (who looks like a brunette version of her superstar mother), followed by candid shots of the family enjoying fire dancers and souvenirs (like colorful fans).
Madonna captioned the post, “Thankful for my children on my birthday and every day—they are full of [heart emoji], creativity, intelligence and [fire emoji]. #birthday #leo #family.”
While Lourdes and Rocco are Madonna’s biological children, the rest of her kids were adopted from Malawi. (David joined the family in 2006, followed by Mercy and then twins Estere and Stelle.)
Madonna rarely shares photos of her children on social media, particularly Lourdes (who graduated from her mom’s alma mater, University of Michigan, in 2018). While the family photos were a surprise to many fans, you won’t hear us complaining.
