Personal Life

Carlos met Madonna in 1995, and they welcomed a daughter, Lourdes "Lola" Maria Ciccone Leon, on October 14, 1996. The couple split up in May 1997, and Madonna stated that they were "better off as best friends." In a 2008 People magazine article, Leon was quoted as saying, "Look at me and the way I live: I ride my bicycle, I walk, I don't have a driver. That's how I keep her [Lourdes] grounded. Her mom does a good job too — she's not that person that everyone thinks. She's very laid back and cool." He also said that he and Lourdes share a love of music and like some of the same artists, such as Alicia Keys and Beck. In a 2011 interview with People, Carlos said of his relationship with Madonna, "I have no regrets. I wouldn't change anything. I got the best thing out of that relationship, and that's my daughter. My daughter is everything to me." He added, "I'm a lenient dad. I'm very empathetic, and I'm good at listening to my daughter I'm probably a bad dad when it comes to disciplining her." Leon married Betina Holte in Denmark on July 13, 2013, and they have a son named Meeka (born February 25, 2015).
