Madonna expresses her experiences as a parent.
The ‘Like a Prayer’ singer explained why she felt it was a ‘challenge’ for her six children – daughters Lourdes26 and Grace16 years old, twins Esther and Stella10 and sons Rocco22 and David17 years old – growing up together with her as a mom.
“Today I’m still trying to know methods to be a mother and do my job,” Madonna said in the course of the broadcast photo shoot for Vanity fair“Icon Trouble” released in Europe. “Because whoever you might be, having children and raising them is a murals.”
After many years topping the charts and sometimes appearing on the large screen, preparing for her role as a mum wasn’t all the time easy for Madonna, who adopted David, Mercy and twins as a single mother, sharing Lourdes together with her ex-boyfriend Carlos Leon and Rocco together with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
“No person gives instructions,” the 64-year-old also explained. “You have got to learn from mistakes. It is a job that takes a whole lot of time. It’s exhausting because there’s never any rest.”
