Madonna is mom to daughters Lourdes, 27, Mercy, 17, and twins Stella and Estere, as well as sons Rocco, 23, and David, 18.

In October, the Queen of Pop had her first stop in New York on her tour and was joined on stage by five of her six kids, who looked all grown up as they danced and played instruments alongside her.

Referencing the underground ballroom scene that Madonna used in her iconic music video for "Vogue," the singer and her daughter Lourdes sat on stage and served as judges for 11-year-old daughter Estere as she vogued and danced across the runway to Madonna's track — and scored 10s across the board.

Estere's twin sister Stella also made an appearance, coming onstage during her mom's hit "Don't Tell Me." David joined the pop star for "Let's Go Crazy," playing a bit of guitar during the song. He also strummed along during "Mother and Father."

Lastly, Madonna's daughter Mercy played piano while her mom sang her Erotica single "Bad Girl."

In 2017, Madonna appeared on the cover of PEOPLE and opened up about her life at home with her children and her emotional adoption journey.

"Sometimes I would just close my eyes and just think, 'Why isn't my kitchen filled with dancing children?' There's so many children that need a home," she said. "I thought, 'What am I waiting for? Just do it.'"

Madonna has admitted that being a mother of six isn't always easy. The singer told Vanity Fair in January 2023 that motherhood "has been the most difficult, the hardest battle," adding, "Today I am still struggling to understand how to be a mother and do my job."

"Because, whoever you are, having children and raising them is a work of art," she continued. "And no one gives you a manual. You have to learn from mistakes. It is a profession that requires a lot of time. And it is exhausting because there is never rest."
