These days, Madonna<\/a> isn’t hung up on her 2008 divorce.<\/p>\n

In fact, the singer, 67, reunited with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie for the celebration of their son Rocco Ritchie’s art exhibit opening. At the Dec. 12 event, Madonna and Guy posed alongside Rocco in front of his art for his “Talk is Cheap” exhibition in London, and the 25-year-old shared his gratitude for his parents putting their post-breakup challenges aside for his big night.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s obvious why some people might hold judgement against me, I don\u2019t blame them,” Rocco wrote on Instagram<\/a> Dec. 15. ” However, I am proud to be who I am, but I\u2019m even prouder to have both of my parents together in one room supporting me. The work should speak for itself, that\u2019s why the show was called ‘Talk Is Cheap.'”<\/p>\n

For the event, Rocco wore a long leather coat atop a pair of gray slacks and a blue button-down shirt with a black tie, while Guy kept it simple with black pants, a black turtleneck and a plaid jacket. Madonna of course showed up in full glam, styling in sheer red tights, a red top and gloves, a structured leather jacket and knee-high boots.<\/p>\n

The moment marks the first time the pair had been photographed together since their 2008 divorce following eight years of marriage. And though they didn\u2019t join their partners for the family photos, Madonna and Guy each had their plus-ones on-hand as Madonna was accompanied by boyfriend Akeem Morris to the event while Guy attended with his wife of 10 years, Jacqui Ainsely.<\/p>\n

While 17 years have passed since their split, the “Vogue” singer recently opened up about how wounds were reopened in 2015 when they went through a custody battle after then-15-year-old Rocco refused to leave his father in London.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably one of the most painful moments in my life where I honestly couldn\u2019t see the forest through the trees was when I went through a custody battle with my son,\u201d Madonna explained in a September episode of <\/a>On Purpose<\/a> with Jay Shetty. \u201cSomeone trying to take my child away from me, it was like you might as well just kill me. That\u2019s really how I was thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Rocco was supposed to return to New York with his mom, Madonna and Guy ultimately had to come to an agreement in 2016 to do what they felt was best for their son and allowed Rocco to continue living with his father in the UK. Now nearly a decade later, mother and son are better than ever.<\/p>\n

As Madonna\u2014also mom to Lourdes Leon, 29, with Carlos Leon, and adopted children David, 20, Mercy, 19, and twins Stella and Estere, 13\u2014put it during the interview, \u201cI\u2019m now really good friends with my son.\u201d<\/p>\n
