Now that Madonna is on good terms with her son Rocco, the mother-son duo have even embarked on a trip together!
The 57-year-old star was joined by her 15-year-old son and her other children, Lourdes, 19, Mercy James, 10 and David Banda, 10, as she visited Mchinji, Malawi to perform charity work.
Madonna posed with all her children during a visit with locals in Africa on Monday.
On Monday, the MDNA singer shared a snap of herself with her family and locals along with the caption, “Sitting with Mama Sofie, We are Humbled!”
Rocco, who reunited with his mum a few weeks ago following months of dispute, seemed thrilled to be visiting the birth country of his siblings Mercy James and David Banda.
Madonna is thrilled to have her son come along on the trip!
Madonna shared a photo of the teen holding hands with the village’s children on Thursday.
“Squad [heart] Rocco at Home of Hope In Michingi,” she wrote.
It seems Madonna is having a blast bonding with her son again after months of living in different countries.
Rocco has spent most of this year living in the UK with his dad Guy Ritchie after a disagreement with Madonna in December.
See what Madonna got up to with Rocco and Lourdes in London in the clip below!
She was a pretty, fit and healthy 26-year-old who appeared to have the world at her feet.
But like many young women, Lauren James had hang-ups about her body. So she decided to have liposuction to remove fat from her lower buttocks, thighs and knees.
Three days after the $8000 day procedure in Melbourne, she was dead.
Leaders in Australia’s medical profession have become increasingly concerned at the growing demand for cosmetic procedures from young people – and the “trivialisation” of surgery.
Celebrities, models and TV stars have helped make procedures like lip fillers and breast implants increasingly mainstream and socially acceptable in the past couple of decades.
And while deaths from cosmetic surgery are very rare, the risks of complications and the permanency of procedures are very real.
That’s prompted a new crackdown on the $1 billion a year industry, with particular emphasis on protecting teenagers from making impulsive decisions.
Under the Medical Board of Australia’s new guidelines – which come into force in October – young people aged under 18 will be forced to undergo a psychological assessment and a three-month cooling off period before being allowed to have breast implants, liposuction or a nose job.
Dr Joanna Flynn, chair of the Medical Board of Australia, told The Weekly the board was concerned about maturity, peer pressure and body image issues in young people seeking cosmetic surgery.
Simon Dal Zotto, who was Lauren James’ partner, had been among those who had been calling for tighter controls on the cosmetic surgery industry in Australia. He has described Lauren as “stunning” and “one of the kindest, most loveable people”.
In a similar tragedy to Lauren’s death from post-operative complications in 2007, 28-year-old ex-dancer Lauren Edgar died the following year after developing a bacterial infection and gangrene from her liposuction in Adelaide.
More recently, there have been a string of reported complications, botched procedures and misuse of local anaesthetic at cosmetic surgery clinics in recent years.
In January last year, 21-year-old Amy Rickhuss almost died when her heart stopped from anaesthetic complications during breast augmentation surgery in Sydney.
Dr Gazi Hussain, vice-president of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, told The Weekly cosmetic surgery was “almost a commodity now” and welcomed the new guidelines, which also affect adult patients.

Gushing about the Just Like Fire singer, Celine said, “She is phenomenal. I love her for her talent, for her strength, for her focus, the person she is.”
The song, titled Recovering, was written to help the French-Canadian singer “move forward” from her husband’s death.
“At the [Billboard Music Awards] when I saw her, I said ‘For you to take the time to really write a song, to give me a tool, a piece of luggage to help me to move forward to walk to keep going…'”
Celine and her husband Rene were married for 21 years before his death.
Renee died at age 73 in January following a tough battle with throat cancer.
Opening up about her gratitude towards her fans in the wake of her grief, Celine said, “They are so considerate for my happiness and my sadness, my good and bad moments, and they are [always] supporting me.”

The Duchess of Cambridge has made her Snapchat debut alongside tennis star Serena Williams!
Scroll down for video
Williams met Kate and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, straight after her win at the Wimbledon semi-final yesterday and filmed them all to send out to her Snapchat fans.
The Wimbledon champ said to the camera: “So I’m in the in-crowd now, I’m with royalty!”
She then panned the camera around to show Kate and Sophie, before they all laughed.
Sophie, Countess of Wessex, also appeared on the video
Could this ignite a love for Snapchat by the Duchess? Maybe she’ll start her own Snapchat channel with an inside look into the lives of the Royals!
Probably not, but we can dream anyway.
Kate isn’t the only member of the family to enjoy the tennis this year. Her parents Carol and Michael Middleton and her sister Pippa have all been watching Wimbledon.

This is the fourth country Tom and Taylor have jetted to since their romance began just three weeks ago, just two weeks after the pop star’s 15-month relationship with Calvin Harris ended.
In the past month alone, the pair have been to Nashville, where Tom was introduced to Taylor’s parents, before flying across the pond to England, where Taylor met Tom’s mum.
They were then spotted in Rome, where they shared an intimate kiss atop the Colosseum in front of dozens of fans and photographers.
They were touring the ancient ruins of Rome just last week.
It’s not known how long Taylor will stay in Australia with her man, but we’re sure to see plenty more snaps of the couple!
Meanwhile, Calvin has done what Taylor is most famous for and written a breakup song to vent about their relationship.
TMZ reports that the song, titled Ole, features lyrics seemingly dissing Taylor.
We wonder what Taylor will think of her ex Calvin’s new diss track?
“I see online that you begun to be a good girl and take trips with your boyfriend. Being attentive, continue to pretend,” the lyrics go.
Another telling lyric, from Tom’s point of view, indicates Taylor cheated on Calvin with the British actor.
“You’ve hidden my name in your phone so you can call me to tell me you’ve been going through hell. Left him alone and you booked in a hotel,” Calvin writes.
Tourists were terrified after entertainment staff at a resort in Cyprus staged a gun attack.
According to The Sun, employees burst into a restaurant wearing dark clothes and firing fake guns.
They were trying to promote a new casino at the First Choice Holiday Village Aliathon in Paphos, Cyprus, by appearing as “gangsters”.
This came just two days after the Istanbul airport terror attack where 45 people died, so naturally, emotions were running high.
People were furious at the tactless stunt and threatened to boycott the resort.
Bernard Heald, a 66-year-old English man, said: “It was in real bad taste after the events at Ataturk airport and shootings at other resorts … Totally disgusted, could have given someone a heart attack.”
Anne Mullen said: “It was the hotel staff trying to promote the casino night.”
“They came out of the kitchen area firing toy cap guns. Everyone in the restaurant was shocked and all saying do they not read the news?”
Seems they could really use a publicity team with integrity and compassion.
