Fans were quick to comment on the snapshots, with many remarking on just how grown up Rocco looked, while others were torn over just who Rocco looked most alike. "Time has gone so fast!" one wrote, while another wrote: "Rocco is so much like you." A third added: "Rocco looks just like his dad!" "It's Guy Richie," another agreed.

As well as Rocco, Madonna is mom to daughter Lourdes Leon, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Carlos Leon.

Madonna has homes around the world but primarily resides in Lisbon, Portugal, so that David can pursue his dreams of becoming a professional footballer.

While Rocco tends to keep a lower profile from his siblings, Madonna occasionally shares photos with all her children on social media.
