Madonna Acknowledges Her Marriages To Sean Penn And Guy Ritchie Was Not The “Best Idea”

Madonna answers questions about her history, present, and future in a new YouTube video. Both times she was referring to Sean Penn or Guy Ritchie. 

Before her marriage to director Guy Ritchie in 2000, Madonna was wed to Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn from 1985 to 1989. The former couple, who have two boys together, David, and Rocco eventually divorced in 2008.

The former Madonna personal trainer Carlos Leon is the father of 25-year-old Lourdes, as well as Mercy, and the twins Stella and Estere, who were born in Malawi and were adopted by the Grammy winner as young children.

Madonna said she is proud of her “six amazing children” as a life accomplishment. She added that she is “gagging” to collaborate with Britney Spears once more and that Kendrick Lamar is the performer she wants to collaborate with the most in the future. The pop icon admitted that filming the videos for Die Another Day and Rebel Heart were the most difficult projects for her.

Even though Madonna doesn’t frequently discuss her relationship with Guy, it seems like she and Sean get along.

Madonna complimented her ex-boyfriend at the Help Haiti Home dinner on the day of the Golden Globes, which benefits the J/P Haitian Relief Organization.

On stage during the event, she declared, “I want to express [to] Sean that I love you from the minute that I lay eyes on you. And my affection for you hasn’t changed.”
