Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon

Madonna recently cancelled her Australian tour, saying that she wanted to spend more time with her family. Apparently, arguments between the singer and her daughter have been said to range from Lourdes’s choice of friends to her relationship with Madonna’s 24-year-old boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat. After Lourdes had been caught smoking earlier this year, Madonna said: “It’s hard—every day is a negotiation.”
Madonna’s daughter Lourdes obviously is way more privileged than her own mother was and more than just about any other 16 year-old girl in the world. Her circumstances are peculiar. Lola has lived surrounded by fame and money since birth. She has traveled, lived abroad, had access to luxuries and opportunities that most people don’t reach in a lifetime. Surely she’s prepared to live life by herself (and a little court of assistants, of course).
But let’s forget about money and fame, the fact that she’s the daughter of a living legend, and a successful designer at a tender age. We have a teenager who wants to live life her own way. Lola is at age when a girl needs to separate from mommy and build her own identity. But it turns out she has a mother who is overwhelmingly popular, charismatic and powerful. It won’t be easy for her to stop being “Madonna’s daughter,” especially considering that she wants to follow an artistic path too. Ah, this is the price of privilege. Certainly, living away from mom will suit young Lola.
