Singer Madonna is hoping she and her currently estranged son Rocco Ritchie can somehow mend their relationship and have a happy New Year.

The "Material girl" hitmaker took to Instagram to prove to Rocco, her 15-year-old son with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, just how much she loves him, reports radaronline.com.

`Merry X-mas to the Sun-shine of my Life!` Madonna wrote to Rocco in the caption of an Instagram photograph of the two in happier times.

In a move to show Rocco what he was missing out on, she also posted photographs of Rocco's brother, David Banda, 10, and sisters Lourdes, 19, and Mercy James, 9, enjoying themselves on Christmas.

An insider had revealed the 57-year-old singer and her eldest boy's fighting came to a head in mid-November when Rocco `ran away in Stockholm", during a stop on his mother's Rebel Heart Tour.

`M and Rocco were having bad shouting matches,` the insider explained. `She'd be crying and yelling at him.`

A judge has since ordered Rocco, who holed up in Guy Ritchie's London home, to face his mother here.
