David Banda, Madonna’s 18-year-old son, recently shared a humorous yet eye-opening experience following his move out from his mother's New York City apartment. On a lively Instagram Live session held on July 20, Banda painted a vivid picture of his new life, blending humor with a touch of vulnerability. “It's 9 PM, I'm hungry, and I realize I don’t have enough money for food, so I have to go out and scavenge. It's great fun being young,” he quipped, leaving his audience both amused and empathetic.
Banda’s move marks a significant shift, both geographically and emotionally. According to Page Six, he relocated from the opulent confines of Madonna’s Upper East Side residence to a more modest setting in the Bronx, where he resides with his girlfriend, Maria Atusta. For Banda, this transition isn't merely about a change of scenery; it symbolizes a step towards independence and adulthood. Highlighting his new role as a guitar instructor, he expressed a sense of satisfaction and companionship.
"I love it. I'm not alone; I have my girlfriend," he said, indicating a contentment found in both his self-sufficiency and relationship.
Earlier this year, Madonna reflected on motherhood in an emotional Mother’s Day Instagram post on May 12, sharing a photo of David and his sister Mercy James, 17, dressed in caps and gowns, having both graduated high school in May.
“Tonight all of my children sleep Under one roof which is Rare and comforting. They grow up too fast and spin out in different directions. And yes I have a hard time letting go,” she wrote.
“No Easy way into the motherhood game. No manual or University,” she continued. “Just trial and error and learn and succeed and then fail again. Finally the realization that they were raising me and not the other way around.”
Madonna has six children; she shares daughter Lourdes Leon, 27, with ex Carlos Leon, and 23-year-old son Rocco Ritchie with ex-husband Guy Ritchie. She also has four adopted children: David, Mercy, and 10-year-old twins Stella and Esteres.
