Madonna's incredibly talented kids with musicians and models making her proud

Madonna's children are just as talented as her.

The global superstar has six children - four of them adopted - and it seems a few of them are following in her footsteps.

The 62-year-old singer's brood is made up of Lourdes Leon, 24, Rocco Ritchie, 21, David Banda, 15, Mercy James, 15, and nine-year-old twins Stelle and Estere Ciccone.

And they're each carving out their own paths thanks to their range of talents.

Here, we take a look at Madonna's talented children...

Lourdes

The eldest child of Madonna, known as Lola, is only 24, but already has a string of high profile modelling gigs behind her including the cover of fashion-bible Vogue and feature spreads in Vanity Fair.

But far from admitting she's privileged, she says she even stumped up the cash for her own college in Bushwick in Brooklyn, New York.

She told Vogue: "People think I'm a talentless rich kid who's had everything given to her, but I'm not."

And she's stepped out on the catwalk, earning her own money modelling for luxury brands like Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs and trendy fashion brand Juicy Couture.

Madonna often praises her first-born, even saying she's more talented than herself.

Her Cuban father Carlos Leon is also a pro dancer and the pair have a close bond.

Rocco

The son of Guy Ritchie and the Vogue singer turned 21 this week and he's just landed his first modelling shoot, with The Rake magazine.

Sharing a vintage vibe and flare for fashion like his film director father, he modelled a range of 40s and 50s style suits.

He is currently studying for a fine art degree at the acclaimed Central St Martins school of Art in London.

Rocco moved to London in 2016 during a custody battle between his parents with Madge heading back to her native New York.

David

Malawian-born David Banda was adopted by The Material Girl singer in 2006, when he was just 13 months old and has had quite the upbringing with his famous family.

He's looking to embrace his talents on the football pitch and is already playing for Benficia's youth team aged just 15.

He moved to Portugal with his music star mum before she headed back to London last year with her four youngest children.

Mercy

Although fiercely protective of her children's privacy, Madonna has shared a few snap shots of her fabulous home life.

Her 15-year-old adopted daughter Mercy is an incredible piano player, which Madge often showing off to her 16.3m followers on Instagram.

Madonna recently shared a clip of Mercy performing the Evgeni's Waltz from her 2011 film WE, writing: "Magic............... Thank you Mercy James! #evgeniswaltz #w.e."

Mercy's other talents usually see her behind the camera - somewhat ironically since her mum's global fame sees her captured where ever she goes!

Twins Estere and Stella

As the youngest children of the superstar singer, Estere and Stella were adopted from Malawi in 2017 and are now nine.

As a proud parent, Madonna has protected them from the spotlight but shared a Thanksgiving picture in 2018 as she returned to Malawi.

She captioned it: "What I am Most THANKFUL for!

"My Children have led me down roads and opened doors I never imagined I’d walk through.Fame , Fortune and Records Broken could never equal that which I treasure and value most."
