"Like if your ex is dating Madonna." What is known about the singer's new boyfriend, who is 37 years younger than her
65-year-old Madonna has a new lover — 28-year-old Akim Morris. The singer was spotted with her lover, who is 37 years younger than her, in Portofino this week. She started dating Akim almost immediately after breaking up with 30-year-old boxer Josh Popper. Western tabloids have found out who Akim is — Spletnik tells the main story .
It turned out that they had known each other for a long time: back in 2022, Madonna and the Jamaican-born footballer were photographed together for Paper magazine. That photo shoot was called "Madonna is the wildest gift at this party": the singer was photographed together with aspiring celebrities, among whom was Morris. However, after that, they were not seen together - until Akim published a joint photo with the singer in July. Madonna also shared the shots: they were lying on a bed together.
As journalists found out, Akim is a political scientist by education, and during his studies at the university he played football for the student team, and was also a striker for the Oyster Bay United football club. Now he actively maintains a blog on Instagram*, in which he talks about his life in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, journalists found a video of Akim's ex-girlfriend Regan Rice. She posted a video on TikTok, which she captioned: "Like if your boyfriend of three years is now dating Madonna," and added the hashtags #madonna #breakup #ohdamn #2024 #brokenheart.
Madonna herself has had several boyfriends in recent years, and there was a very large age difference with each of them. For example, her last man before Akim was Josh Popper, who coached her children. Before Josh, Madonna dated 23-year-old model Andrew Darnell. She broke up with him amid a "crisis of self-confidence" - at that time, Madonna was especially often criticized online for her appearance.
The singer's personal life is often criticized online. Some are sure that all these men are taking advantage of her favor for the sake of money and fame, while others believe that such romances are necessary for Madonna herself: supposedly she wants to position herself as a sexy woman who is still interesting to young men, because it brings her more money as an artist.
The singer's provocative images also often become a reason for criticism, and even her colleagues ridicule her. For example, rapper 50 Cent often ridiculed the explicit photos that Madonna posted. In June 2022, he posted photos of the singer on his account and compared her to aliens, and later took a screenshot of her TikTok video where she dances twerk to rap music.
