Madonna arrived in Malawi on Monday with the young local boy she is adopting, amid rumors she intended to adopt a second child from an orphanage in the impoverished southern African nation.

The pop singer, who sparked controversy last year when she decided to adopt one-year-old David Banda from a local orphanage, landed at Lilongwe’s airport in a private jet, a Reuters witness at the airport said.

Wearing dark glasses and a black outfit, Madonna carried Banda, now about 18 months old, as she walked onto the tarmac. She and her entourage quickly left the airport in a convoy of vehicles.

The singer is expected to visit an orphanage just outside the Malawian capital in connection with her charity work in the country, as well as travel to the Home of Hope orphanage, where Banda lived before Madonna applied to adopt him.

A spokeswoman for Madonna says she has no plans to adopt another child despite media reports that the U.S.-born singer and her British film director husband Guy Ritchie wanted to add a young Malawian girl to their family.

There was no immediate information on whether David Banda would visit his father during Madonna’s visit.

The pop diva arrived on a silver jet in this impoverished southern African nation. A heavy police presence kept journalists at a distance.

However, a small child was seen being carried down the steps of the jet, followed by Madonna, and a child’s seat was loaded into the waiting car.
