US superstar Madonna adopted two 4-year-old twin girls from Malawi on Tuesday, a court official in Lilongwe told AFP, adding to two other children she previously adopted from the country.
Just two weeks ago, the singer denied that she was involved in any adoption application in Malawi after news of her court case first emerged.
“I can confirm that Madonna has been granted an adoption order for two children,” judicial spokesman Mlenga Mvula told AFP, adding they were twins called Esther and Stella.
Madonna, who set up a charity called Raising Malawi in the southern African nation in 2006, adopted Malawian children David Banda in 2006 and Mercy James in 2009.
Her publicist was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday following the court ruling.
On Jan. 24, the singer had appeared before Justice Fiona Mwale, accompanied by two unidentified children and several other people, before being driven away in an SUV vehicle.
Later that day Madonna told US magazine People in a statement that “the rumors of an adoption process are untrue.”
Madonna’s charity is funding a surgical unit for children at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Blantyre, the commercial hub of Malawi.
The 58-year-old singer — who has previously been embroiled in controversy in Malawi — last visited the hospital in July, taking her two adopted Malawian children with her.
The star was stripped of VIP status by former president Joyce Banda’s government in 2013 and accused of being “uncouth” and wanting eternal gratitude from the country for her adoptions.
But Banda was ousted in 2014 elections and the new president, Peter Mutharika, moved to repair relations, saying “my government has always been grateful for the passion Madonna has for this country.”
Last July, Madonna said she would not revive plans for a $15 million academy for girls in Malawi, which was canceled amid allegations of mismanagement — leading to her tiff with Banda.
