Proud Mom Alert: Madonna Beams Over Daughter Mercy’s Gymnastics Success
Mercy James for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics? Could be.
Madonna’s 10-year-old daughter has moves — and they landed her some medals. The smiley schoolgirl picked up four different awards, including a second-place honor, at a gymnastics meet over the weekend. The singing superstar, who is mom to four, bragged about her youngest’s moves on the mat, but noted, “It’s all about team work.”

In the photos, Mercy, who was adopted from Malawi in 2009, is beaming, so it was a proud moment for mother and daughter. It’s unclear where the meet was held, but Mercy attends school in NYC.

It was a busy weekend for Madonna, who raised $7.5 million at a charity benefit for Raising Malawi at Art Basel Miami on Friday night. Her 11-year-old son, David Banda, who was also adopted from the impoverished African nation, was there and educated the guests about his birth country (and looking much more mature than most kids his age).

Madonna performed at the event and helped with an auction, during which she (jokingly?) told the star-studded crowd that she was still in love with her ex-husband Sean Penn, who was there, and said she’d remarry him for a hefty price tag ($150,000). All in the name of a good cause, of course.

Another ex, A-Rod (retired Yankee Alex Rodriguez), was there as well.
So it was a busy weekend for Mama Madonna — but one she should feel very proud of for several reasons.
