Madonna Has Had A Strained Relationship With Her 7 Siblings

Madonna’s oldest brother was Anthony Ciccone, who lived a life of addiction and homelessness. BBC reports that Anthony, who struggled with alcoholism, died at age 66. Madonna’s brother-in-law, Joe Henry, broke the news. “Anthony was a complex character, and god knows: we tangled in moments,” he wrote on Instagram. At the time of posting, Madonna hadn’t acknowledged Anthony’s death; but she did “like” Henry’s death announcement.

In 2011, Anthony told Daily Mail Madonna couldn’t care less about him — despite her offering to pay for his rehab again, which he refused. “Madonna doesn’t give a s*** if I’m dead or alive. She lives in her own world,” Anthony claimed. Madonna’s second oldest brother, Martin Ciccone, also battled alcohol addiction. The Daily Mail reports that Madonna bought her sibling new false teeth to celebrate his first year of sobriety.

Next in line, after Madonna, is Paula Ciccone. She told Oprah Winfrey that Madonna’s success had caused her “a lot of emotional trauma.” She also blamed Madonna for hampering her modeling career. “It’s hard because I’m putting myself in the same place where she is,” Paula claimed. For a hot minute, Madonna and her first little bro, Christopher Ciccone were actually really close. Still, Madonna and her brother ceased to get along — and started experiencing a tumultuous relationship — after Christopher penned “Life with my sister Madonna,” an explosive best-selling tell-all. “I love my sister more than like [her],” Christopher admitted to “GMA.”
