Guy Ritchie visited his ex-wife Madonna's house in London on Wednesday, in a bid to continue building bridges following a bitter custody battle over their son Rocco.
The 47-year-old director was seen arriving at the superstar singer's home in the capital in the evening on his bicycle, going into the front door and emerging some time later.
Rocco, 15, was also in attendance at Madonna's house along with Guy, just days after the teen finally reunited with her in the British capital.

Making amends: Guy Ritchie was pictured arriving at Madonna's home in London on Wednesday evening, in a bid to build bridges after a High Court judge warned they could 'ruin' what is left of teenage son Rocco's childhood with their bitter custody battle
This monumental meet-up on Sunday came after they were estranged for months, following Rocco's departure from her world tour at the end of 2015 to live with his dad in the UK. For months he refused to return to his mother in the States, opting instead to stay with Guy and his new wife Jacqui Ainsley.
And now, following Rocco and his 57-year-old mother's emotional reunion at the weekend, it appears Guy and Madonna are taking heed of the warnings they have received over trying to make amends for the sake of their offspring.
Amid recent proceedings, a High Court judge warned the former couple they could ruin what is left of the teen's childhood if they failed to settle their bitter custody battle.

Mr Justice Macdonald ruled that the English proceedings could be halted, after analysing the latest round of the row at a private hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London last month.
The judge urged Madonna and Ritchie to resolve their differences over where the teenager should live as he ruled their legal battle would be heard in a New York court, rather than in London. Rocco welcomes his mother's decision to withdraw the proceedings, he added.
He said it would be a 'tragedy' if any more of the 'fast receding days' of the teenager's childhood were taken up by the conflict, during which Madonna had launched litigation in both London and the United States.

Favourite look: Earlier in the day, Guy was pictured in the same white tracksuit - he had appeared in good spirits hours ahead of his meeting with Madonna, to whom he was married from 2000 to 2008
After months of a very public custody battle, with Madonna frequently attempting to reach out to her son on social media, things have certainly thawed for the family after their get-together at the weekend.
However, while on Sunday it was bonding time for Madonna and Rocco, it is now apparent that Guy - who was married to the Like A Virgin singer for eight years from 2000 to 2008 - is keen to play his part in mending their issues.
On Wednesday, the Snatch director was seen arriving at her home in a white tracksuit, having cycled the relatively short distance to his ex-wife's home.
In the doorway of Madonna's abode, Rocco was just visible, hinting that he was already at his mum's and would stay there for the night for a second time this week.
Getting back to normal: On Monday, newly-reacquainted Madonna and Rocco stepped out at Notting Hill's Electric Cinema to watch a film together, before he stayed the night
Earlier in the day, he was pictured in the same outfit on his trusty two-wheeler in the capital, looking in good spirits as his family feud draws to what looks like an imminent conclusion.
And on Thursday morning, Rocco was seen in fantastic spirits as he left Madonna's to return to his dad's.
On Sunday, Guy was pictured dropping the teen off at the singer's London home, after Madonna returned to the UK last week in the hope of being reunited with her second-eldest child.
Rocco emerged a couple of hours later looking incredibly happy with a huge smile on his face, and he has been showing off his glee over the past week as he has stepped out in the capital on.

Fixing the relationship: The High Court judge said it would be a 'tragedy' if any more of the 'fast receding days' of the teenager's childhood were taken up by the conflict, during which Madonna had launched litigation in both London and the United States
Getting back to normal: Guy - who has three children with new wife Jacqui Ainsley - looked to be heading back to his own home after seeing Madonna and Rocco
On Monday, he and Madonna went along to Notting Hill's Electric Cinema together to take in a film, further proof that they are working on their relationship.
Perhaps the boy's choice, they viewed the new Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice blockbuster flick, with the young man looking incredibly giddy on his arrival at the movie theatre, a beaming grin on his face.
He stayed the night at his mum's house on Monday, as he was then seen emerging from hers on Tuesday, before meeting with pals to go skateboarding.

After months of legal proceedings, Madonna arrived in the UK last week ahead of her reunion with Rocco. The mother-of-four reportedly made plans to come back so she could get him back into school following his term-time holiday in the Maldives with Guy and Jacqui, 34, last month.
In what has been a very public legal battle, British judges previously heard that Rocco had been living with his mother in New York following her divorce from Guy in December 2008.
The agreement that Rocco would live in the US but would spend time with his father was approved by a family court judge.
Just a normal teen: Rocco joined by a group of friends as he enjoyed his day in the capital on Monday before his cinema outing with his mother, looking like a typical teenager in a pulled-up hooded jacket and sports trousers

However, last December, while travelling through Europe with his mother on her Rebel Heart tour, he had visited his father in London and decided to stay with the film director.
Madonna had stated she wanted the teenager to return to live with her in the US, but has said she wants to 'heal the wounds' of the four months of fighting with her ex.
Lawyers representing Madonna said the singer wanted to halt the legal action she launched in England. Mr Justice MacDonald said Madonna had issued proceedings under international legislation relating to parental disputes about children in London on December 21.

She had made an application under the Hague Convention, which deals with the abduction of children, for the return of Rocco to the jurisdiction of the United States - specifically to New York State.
The boy was said to have been illegally retained and not returned as originally planned.
The judge said two days later Madonna launched separate proceedings in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and that hearings in the US were being overseen by Justice Deborah Kaplan.
Madonna had applied to withdraw the London proceedings, but Guy argued Madonna needed permission to do this - leading to a two-day hearing to determine whether she should be allowed.
Bitter: The singer has been embroiled in a bitter dispute with ex-husband Guy (pictured together in 2008) over where the teenager should live, with litigation launched in both London and the United States
