Rocco Ritchie deletes Instagram account after 'blocking mum Madonna in rift over custody battle'

Rocco Ritchie has deleted his Instagram after reportedly blocking his mum Madonna as their relationship continues to be strained.

The teenage son of the Material Girl and Guy Ritchie, who had 138,000 followers on the photo-sharing website, opted to delete his account amid a reported feud with his mother.

Yesterday it was claimed Rocco, 15, had blocked Madge from seeing his posts, he has now decided to remove his page altogether, according to RadarOnline.

A source previously said: "It's not a great sign that Rocco is blocking his mum on social media, especially after all the reports that she was embarrassing him with her posts about him.

"It's even more of a blow because he allows Jacqui [Ainsley, his stepmother] and Guy to still follow him and he follows them back. Hopefully this is just a teenage teething problem."
The news that Rocco has deleted his account comes amid claims Guy has hired a lawyer to fight for custody of his son.

A New York judge has ordered Rocco back to the US for a hearing next month.
Insiders told TMZ the former couple don't get along and Guy used a visit from Rocco to "stoke the coals" when he was angry at Madonna.

The pair are said to clash frequently over the youngster because the 57-year-old singer is strict and "very controlling".

Despite the drama, the Queen of Pop proudly uploaded a number of loving pictures showing her kids having fun - and sent a message of love to her son.
