Madonna’s Father’s Day message is a thoughtful and comprehensive tribute that truly celebrates “all the fathers out there.”
“Happy Father’s Day. All the daddy is out there!!! She is he she and her!!” Madonna wrote on Instagram on Sunday afternoon (June 18), making sure no one who identified as a father was overlooked on her special day.
“But above all to my father Silvio, who once told me that he would drive until the wheels fell off!! “SAME,” she added in the caption of a post that included a new selfie and a pretty throwback photo of her dad Silvio Ciccone.

“Thank you for your unrelenting work ethic and love and for refusing to spoil me in any way,” said Madonna, who currently has two hits — “Popular” and “Vulgar” — and will soon begin her career-spanning Celebration Tour . “You taught me how to be a survivor! Forever grateful. But also really tired… xxxxxxxx.”
Two years ago, Madonna echoed that sentiment when she shared memories of visiting Silvio’s vineyard to celebrate his 90th birthday with her six children.
“My dad is a survivor, growing up as an Italian immigrant in the US and going through a lot of trauma but always working hard for everything he had,” she captioned the post at the time. “He taught me the importance of working hard and making a living……. Thanks again.”
