Who is Madonna's Daughter, Lourdes Leon? Madonna is Mother to Five More Children

Lourdes Leon is an aspiring model: Leon says her mother, Madonna, is a control freak!  

The Queen of pop, Madonna, doesn't require an introduction, but her daughter, Lourdes Leon, does. Madonna, 63, known for her phenomenal professional and financial success, had her eldest child, Leon, with fitness trainer Carlos Leon in 1996, shortly after Madonna won a Golden Globe playing Eva Peron in Evita. Lourdes debuted as a model in 2018.  

Madonna Louise Ciccone, 63, a native of Bay City, Michigan, also is a mother to five more children, three daughters and two sons. But Madonna's eldest daughter is undoubtedly the best known, be it for her bold pictures or sassy remarks, but Leon has maintained her spot as the most talked-about star child.

Leon, 25, shares a very honest and close bond with her mother. She first came to the spotlight because of her steamy relationship with actor Timothee Chalamet in 2013; they broke up in 2017. In a recent conversation with Interview Magazine, the Starchild revealed how her superstar mother controlled her whole life. Leon says her mother, Madonna, "is such a control freak."

Lourdes explained that the best way to escape her mom's shackle was to establish herself. Leon says she started taking modeling gigs to fund her lifestyle and pay for her college tuition. "I feel like if your parents pay for things, then it gives them leverage over you," Leon reveals.

Lourdes appeared as the face of Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu's latest campaign; she also recently starred on Vogue magazine's cover. The fiercely independent model also shares an affectionate bond with her father, Carlos, Madonna's partner, from 1995 to 1997. Leon wants to be recognized beyond modeling. "My mom is very insistent on making me think about what I want to be known for beyond my looks," Leon said.
