Madonna’s Sister Melanie

I think she's a very handsome woman.

You know Madonna would never want to look like this.

However, Melanie kept those beautiful eyes.

Madonna destroyed the shape of her once beautiful eyes by fucking with her eyes.

Nah - she was always the unfortunate looking one. Her sister Paula was much prettier. Melanie has always looked like an old lady.

Here’s Paula, the former model.

Much more pleasing than Madanna. Madonna is so terrifying now people scream "kill it with fire" when they see her.

what an ugly family

There’s got to be a happy medium. Melanie is not ghastly but she doesn’t look great for her age. She must not even take minimal care of herself. My mother is the same age as Madonna tanned in her youth, smoked into her 30s, doesn’t use cosmetics and uses cheap skincare products yet she looks so much better than Melanie.

Melanie and Paula actually look like happy people.

Madonna looks empty.

La famiglia Ciccone

Both women are younger than Madonna.

R8 I agree with you. The sisters look like happy, fulfilled, grounded women. Madonna looks like a freak.

Which one of the sisters is married to a semi-famous musician? Paula?

Oh you can really see where Rocco gets his looks when you see the males in that family.

It could be Rocco at the far left - family resemblances are so interesting in their randomness.

Does Madonna speak to any of her brothers? I never hear her speak about them.

Paula always was super butch.

Madonna is closest to Melanie, who is married to singer-songwriter, Joe Henry. Madonna was once close to Christopher, but that relationship fell apart. She has paid for Anthony and Martin's rehab (repeatedly), and paid for Mario's legal fees and got him a job at Maverick. He now manages the family vineyard, where Paula works as a winemaker.

Melanie is married to Joe Henry, who wrote and sang his song "Don't" which Madonna reworked into "Don't Tell Me".

Most Italians are after 30.

Joe Henry sadly has terminal cancer.

Not true.

Her gay brother is a huge Right-winger now.

The brothers all have BDF.

Mario was hot.

Oh my god, EVERY FUCKING TIME there's a thread about a middle aged or older woman, it's "this woman is awful and doesn't even shower, you can tell she's basically a psychotic hobo, not like my sainted mother."

R25 He looks completely different from the rest of the family. Any recent pictures of Mario?

I’m up way too early and not thinking well. For two minutes I’ve been thinking this is Melania’s sister.

R28, Mario and Jennifer are Madonna's half-siblings. Their mother is Joan, Madge's stepmom. Mario, in middle age, looks like their dad.

Is Madonna adopted? She’s a blonde Asian woman.

All together for Dad's birthday in Michigan last week

Maybe one of the many reasons Madonna hates Joan is that her two children were probably the best looking of the bunch. Madonna Sr. had some harsh genes in her.

A photo of the four sisters together. It's interesting that Madonna is more interested in looking right into the camera, than posing like everyone else.

Aging well has as much to do with genetics as lifestyle. Madonna is fighting those genetics with everything she’s got.

She looks serene , comfortable in her skin and happy

I've always wondered the dynamics she has with her siblings. I only know of the two brothers who were in Truth or Dare. Are the all on the payroll?

Has she ever even mentioned her stepsiblings? I can think of times she's mentioned each of her full siblings, even if not by name.

All I do know is that she was closest to Christopher, now probably closest to Melanie (especially since she became a mother), was on and off close with Paula over the years, thought Marty was crazy and was scared of Anthony.

Has all the secrets
