Madonna and Guy Ritchie reunite after 17 years to attend son Rocco’s London art exhibition

Madonna and Ritchie were married from 2000 until their divorce in December 2008 and share two sons, Rocco and David

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reunited publicly for the first time in 17 years to support their son Rocco Ritchie at the opening of his latest art exhibition in London.

The former couple appeared together at the show after Rocco shared photographs on Instagram of himself posing with his parents in front of two artworks. In the caption, he reflected on both the scrutiny he faces and the significance of their joint appearance. “It’s obvious why some people might hold judgement against me, I don’t blame them,” he wrote. “However, I am proud to be who I am, but I’m even prouder to have both of my parents together in one room supporting me. The work should speak for itself, that’s why the show was called Talk Is Cheap.”

Madonna later posted her own images from the exhibition, praising art’s ability to unite people. “Thank you Rocco for creating this experience with Blood Sweat and Tears. Talk is Cheap – Indeed", she added.

Madonna and Ritchie were married from 2000 until their divorce was finalised in December 2008. They share two sons, Rocco and David Banda, whom they adopted from Malawi. Their relationship was later marked by a highly publicised custody dispute in 2015 after Rocco chose to remain in London rather than return to New York for the holidays.

The exhibition, titled Talk Is Cheap, features work by Rocco Ritchie and fellow artist Tony Cassanelli. It is currently open to the public at The Painting Room in London, marking a notable moment of family unity after years of distance.
