Madonna turned heads at the Off-White after party during New York Fashion week on Sunday, September 8th – not just thanks to the sheer top she was wearing, but also because she was flaunting her relationship with her much younger new boyfriend, Akeem Morris. Check out some pictures of them here.
The 66-year-old original Queen of Pop and the 28-year-old Jamaican soccer player weren’t hiding their relationship at the party – which took place after Madonna’s son David Banda made his NYFW debut when he walked in the Off-White show – and were even spotted holding hands while they were there.
Madonna And Her New Beau Have A 38-Year Age Gap
The "Popular" singer has reportedly been dating her new beau "for a short while," to quote The Sun, with Morris also featuring in her Instagram photo dump from her birthday trip to Italy last month (above.) Prior to dating Akeem, Madonna was reportedly seeing 29-year-old heavyweight boxer Joshua Popper.
While many fans were happy for the "Vogue" hitmaker finding love again, many others were quick to comment on the 38-year age difference. Of course, Madonna isn't the only A-lister to be slammed for dating a much younger person, with Cher, 78, who is dating Alexander 'AE' Edwards, 38, and Bradley Cooper, 49, who has been seeing Gigi Hadid, 29, being just a few examples.
Fan Comments
Social media has been rife with comments about Madonna and Akeem's relationship this month.
"Could literally be his grandmother," quipped one X user, as another called her an "absolute mess." "Difference of 38 years is actually mad," wrote a third X user, as a fourth added: "Seems she's stuck at the age she became famous."
Other fans were a little more supportive on the social media platform. "All the best to Akeem. Well done Madonna," praised one fan. "Good on her," concurred another, as someone else exclaimed: "They do look great together!" "If you're happy hopefully y'all treat each other right. That's a heck of an age gap," noted another user.
