The Material Girl shared photographs of her two kids, David and Mercy, both 10, via Instagram on Thursday, March 17, which showed them cuddling koalas and feeding kangaroos.

The teenager currently remains in London with his dad, Guy Ritchie, amid a custody battle between his parents.

During a sold-out show in New Zealand on March 4, she held back the tears as she told the audience: “That is my son, who I mentioned earlier. He is actually 15, and it’s true, there is no love stronger than a mother for her son.”

“If I talk about him too much, I might cry,” she added, as her fans cheered her on in support.
