Madonna, Guy Ritchie work out custody deal for their son

Pop star Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie have both struck a custody deal for their son so it seems as Guy was seen dropping Rocco off to visit his mum at her London home.

The estranged couple now seem to be abiding by judge’s orders and both came up with some sort of visitation arrangement with Madonna flying into England a few days ago, looking all business.

The couple’s 15-year-old son Rocco says he wants to live with his dad and he has been living with his him in London since December 1^st 2015 and ever since, Madonna has been fighting tooth and nail to be close to her Rocco.

The custody deal is coming after a bitter legal battle that played out in both US and UK courts over the last three months.

Initially, Madonna resorted to drinking after losing out over the custody of their son.

The singer hit the bottle hard at a show in Melbourne last month saying she doesn’t like making mistakes, so on the surface it might seem she was guzzling booze because she fell off a tricycle but close sources say she is seriously hurt knowing her son has opted to stay with his father.

Madonna reportedly swigged from a bottle of tequila as she called her ex-husband Guy, whom she is locked in a custody battle with over their teenage son Rocco, a ‘son of a bitch’ and allegedly begged ‘please someone f**k me’.

A week before, she broke down on stage at a concert when it became clear that she had all but conceded custody of Rocco to her estranged ex-husband.

“There’s no love stronger than a mother for her son,” an emotional Madonna said during the New Zealand leg of her Rebel Heart concert tour.

Moments after her breakdown, she then dedicated La Vie en Rose to him and said, “I hope he hears this somewhere and knows how much I miss him.”
