Madonna's Chef Says Adoption Was A Bad Idea

Ex-employee says singer doesn't spend much time with the kids she already has...

Eric Lenco, who worked for Madonna as her cook and housekeeper, has given his thoughts on Madonna's current appeals to adopt a fourth child.

He said: "When she's with the children, she is a devoted mum. She just doesn't spend much time with them. It's a puzzle why she wants to adopt again. She's hardly ever with her children. She's got two full-time nannies and one part-time nanny. So why adopt a kid when somebody else is raising them?"

"She gets up and has a coffee, then she does two hours of yoga," he says. "Then there's two hours of pilates and exercise. That's six days a week. After that she deals with her email, her calls and the rest of her business. And after that, she spends maybe half an hour with the kids. Madonna puts herself before the kids. When she adopted little David, he arrived at her home from Africa, and three hours later, she left to do pilates. Wouldn't you think she'd want to spend the entire day with her new son?"

The ex-cook also says her previous adoption led to the end of her marriage. "Madonna thought [David] would bring them together, but Guy was dead against adopting, so, for the marriage, it was the final nail in the coffin."
