See the moment Madonna reconciled with Rocco

Madonna appears to have reconciled with her son Rocco, posting this affectionate photo on Instagram.

Madonna and her estranged son Rocco Ritchie appear to have patched up their differences after the singer posted a touching image of the pair embracing on Instagram.

The Material Girl hitmaker posted the photo of herself and the 15-year-old on Friday, with the caption, "We Need!" and a purple heart emoji. Madonna also shared images of herself with her adopted children, David and Mercy.

The singer reportedly reconnected with her son during a stay in London last month, despite the fact she was still in the middle of a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband, director Guy Ritchie.

During the 57-year-old's visit to the British capital, she and Rocco caught a screening of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the singer reportedly allowed her son to throw a party at her home, People.com reports.

Rocco flew to London after leaving his mother's Rebel Heart tour and hasn't returned to his home in New York since December. He has since been at the centre of a tense custody battle following his extended stay with his father, his new wife Jacqui Ainsley and their three children - Rafael, Levi and Rivka.

A New York judge has urged the two sides to find an amicable solution to their custody battle before they return to court in June, and it seems the pair is heeding the judge's advice - Guy was seen arriving at Madonna's home, while she was in London back in April, with a bottle of wine.
