Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reunited for the first time in almost 20 years after their divorce.
The former couple were back together for a special reason, supporting their son Rocco, 25, at his Talk is Cheap art exhibition in London.
The pop icon, 67, and the director, 57, posed alongside their son, showing their support for him in a picture he shared on Instagram with an emotional caption.

“It’s obvious why some people might hold judgement against me, I don’t blame them. However, I am proud to be who I am, but I’m even prouder to have both of my parents together in one room supporting me,” he wrote.
“The work should speak for itself, that’s why the show was called ‘Talk Is Cheap’.”
Rocco stood in the middle with one arm around his dad and the other draped over his mum’s shoulders.
The post was flooded with messages of congratulations from famous friends who congratulated Rocco on the exhibition.

“Proud moment well done mate, stay hungry,” wrote David Beckham.
“Congratulations mate – so wonderful to have your parents there to support. Enjoy the moment x,” commented another person.
The joint appearance from Madonna and Ritchie comes almost two decades after their divorce.
They were married from 2000 to 2008 and welcomed Rocco in 2000. She was already mum to Lourdes, who she shares with ex Carlos Leon.
In 2006 they started the process to adopt David Banda, and it was finalised in May 2008.

But in October 2008 the couple announced their split.
At the time there was speculation and rumours that she wanted to adopt another baby and the two resented each other’s career commitments.
Things took a turn in December 2015, when a nasty custody battle kicked off between the former couple when Rocco refused to travel back from London to New York to spend Christmas with Madonna.
The Hung Up hitmaker took the issue to court and a judge forced Rocco to spend the holidays with her, against his wishes.
In 2016 Rocco – who was 15 at the time – sought to move to the UK to be with his dad and by September the exes had settled the case, approving the teen to move overseas with his dad.
The custody battle took a real toll on the Material Girl singer, who earlier this year admitted she even contemplated suicide during the worst of it.
“There were moments in my life [where] I wanted to cut my arms off,” she told Jay Shetty during a chat on his On Purpose podcast.
“I actually contemplated suicide. That probably sounds really weird coming from me because I’m not emo … but I was like, ‘I can’t take this pain anymore.'”

Madonna explained that it wasn’t that her marriage was over that made her feel like that, it was about Rocco.
“Even though my marriage didn’t work out … someone trying to take my child away from me, it was like, ‘They might as well just kill me,'” she explained.
“That’s what I was thinking.”
Madonna went on to grow her family solo after settling her divorce from Ritchie.
In June 2009 she adopted daughter Mercy from an orphanage in Blantyre, Malawi. She then adopted twins Stella and Estere in February 2017, who were five at the time.
