The ever stylish Lourdes Leon and her equally savvy father, Carlos Leon, were spotted out for a walk with a friend in SoHo this afternoon (November 1).
Mom Madonna recently revealed that her oldest daughter has acting aspirations: “I don’t think she wants to be a singer. I think she wants to be an actress,” she explained in a recent interview. “I'm fine with it, as long as she finishes school, and takes it seriously. She also plays piano, and she's really into clothes and fashion and style. She can go in any direction. She's got a lot of diverse interests right now. We'll see. I'm not pushing anything. We'll see what she wants to do.”

Madonna & The Children Tour Malawi
Madonna was pictured with three of her children, Lourdes, 13, David, 4, and Mercy, 3, while visiting the Mphandu la Orphanage in the Namitete area outside Lilongwe, Malawi on Thursday (October 29). Madonna's 9-year-old son Rocco was not spotted with the group.
While visiting David's former orphanage, the center's director reports to Us that "It was an emotional moment," noting that Madonna wept. "David is too young to understand . . . but for us who remember the sickly tiny little baby of 2006, it was hard to hold back tears, including Madonna." The orphanage founder adds, "He is so boisterous! I can't believe he is the same chap of 2006."
Madonna's Raising Malawi charity has recently built numerous buildings for the orphaned children of Malawi. One young orphan proclaimed his appreciation to the pop star:
You are our god. Where could we have been without you?"
Malawi is one of the southern African countries devastated by HIV/AIDS. At least 14 per cent of the 13.1 million population has HIV. There are over 2 million orphans in Malawi, half of them as a direct result of HIV/AIDS.
Madonna Launches Construction Of Malawi School
Madonna launched the construction of a multi-million dollar girls' school by planting a Moringa tree in a village north of Lilongwe, Malawi on Monday (October 26). The 51-year-old Queen of Pop was joined by her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes.
The Raising Malawi Academy for Girls - in Chinkhota village about 15 kilometers outside the capital Lilongwe - is expected to cost $15 million and be completed in two years. It will admit 500 girls from the small southern African country's 28 districts. Madonna spoke to ABC News about the importance of an education and her reasons for going ahead with this multi-million dollar project:
Growing up in a privileged life, I took education for granted...but coming to Malawi has taught me a lot of things and (I have) learnt to appreciate what life gives," Madonna said. “I realized how much they deserve to be educated and so for me the best thing I could do was to build a school, a unique school that will create future female leaders, scientists, lawyers, doctors and if this school is successful it will be used as a model to replicate it in other countries.”
Madonna adopted two of her children from Malawi: David, 4, and Mercy, 3
Madonna & Guy Ritchie's Kabbalah Kids
Madonna reunited with ex-husband Guy Ritchie at the Kabbalah Center in London, England with her children Lourdes, 13, and Mercy, 3, and their 9-year-old son Rocco on Saturday (October 24). Madonna and Guy's 4-year-old son David was not spotted with the group.
The Queen of Pop recently commented on her divorce from Guy last year:
What can you say? It was a challenging year. I think work saved me, and I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building. Life is an adjustment. It's different. My sons aren't with me right now, they're with their father, and I'm not very comfortable with the idea of my children not living together. There are pros and cons, but I feel good now."
Lourdes Leon Gets Into The Groove!
Get into the groove! Madonna's 13-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon, who is quite the fashionista, looked like a copycat image of her mother from the '80s flick Desperately Seeking Susan. Lourdes - who just turned 13 a week ago - wore a black leather jacket, flowered leggings, yellow Ray Ban sunglasses and carried an over sized bag as she danced her way out of their London Home on Tuesday (October 20).
Shortly after Lourdes' departure, Madonna's younger daughter, 3-year-old Mercy James, was spotted wearing a cozy black jacket also leaving their London home with her nanny in a black cab.
The Queen of Pop recently revealed that Lourdes is showing signs of wanting to be an actress one day.
I don't think she wants to be a singer. I think she wants to be an actress." The Papa Don't Preach singer went on to say she supports whatever path Lourdes chooses: "I'm fine with it, as long as she finishes school, and takes it seriously. She also plays piano, and she's really into clothes and fashion and style. She can go in any direction. She's got a lot of diverse interests right now. We'll see. I'm not pushing anything. We'll see what she wants to do."
