Madonna’s son, David Banda, is proving he can stand on his own two feet. The 18-year-old recently opened up about his new life in New York City, revealing a surprisingly frugal approach despite his mother’s immense wealth.
Learning Life Lessons on a Budget
In an Instagram Live session, Banda candidly shared his experience of “scavenging” for food after moving out of his mom’s luxurious Upper East Side apartment. “It’s fun to be young,” he said with a laugh, “being hungry at night and realizing you don’t have enough money to get food. It’s a learning experience.”
Madonna’s Son, Banda, residing in the Bronx, has even taken up teaching guitar lessons to supplement his income. This frugal lifestyle comes as a surprise considering his pop icon mother’s estimated net worth of $850 million.
Love and Independence Fuel His Journey
Despite the occasional hunger pangs, David maintains a positive outlook. “I love it,” he declared, referring to his newfound independence.
“I’m not on my own, I’ve got my girlfriend,” he added, mentioning his partner Maria Atuesta.
While David embraces his independence, the news story sheds some light on Madonna’s personal life as well. Banda confirmed rumors of his mother’s new relationship with Jamaican-born footballer Akeem Morris. The news comes after her split from previous boyfriend Josh Popper.
A Year of Challenges and Recovery
The past year has been eventful for both David and Madonna. It’s unclear when Madonna’s Son, David moved out, but he was by his mother’s side during her frightening health scare last year that landed her in the ICU. After recovering from a severe bacterial infection, Madonna expressed her gratitude for life and rescheduled her world tour (which faced criticism for late start times). Throughout this ordeal, David remained a constant source of support.
A Glimpse into a Mother-Son Bond
The story concludes with a heartwarming scene from last year. Just before Madonna’s 65th birthday, she and David were spotted at JFK airport, embarking on a getaway vacation together. David’s protective nature shone through as he guided his mother through the terminal, highlighting their strong bond.
This story offers a glimpse into the lives of a famous family, showcasing the independence David is embracing while also revealing a new chapter in Madonna’s life.
