Madonna pecked her toyboy Josh Popper on the cheek in front of her fans during her sold-out concert in Brooklyn.
The 65-year-old singer was joined by her boxing coach lover on stage on Wednesday (December 13) night at Barclays Center as they judged Ballroom-inspired dancers with cards reading ’10’ or ‘chop’ during the Vogue segment of her gig.
She wowed in a black and silver corset, opera gloves and heels while Josh, who is over 30 years her junior, donned a black designer t-shirt, black jeans and trainers.
During one section, Josh was left giggling as a male dancer wearing jock strap bent over in front of him while two other other males ravished his Like A Virgin hitmaker girlfriend.

Madonna usually enlists her celebrity pals to sit beside herincluding Julia Fox, Debi Mazar, Donatella Versace, Arca, and Diplo. However, Josh must have had a blast as he shared a rare post about the moment with Madonna captioned: “10’s all around @madonna [sweaty emoji] #CelebrationTour.”

Ahead of Madonna taking to the stage, “sound check issues” caused her to go on at 10:45pm rather than her usual call time between 9pm-10pm, People reported at the time. Fans took to social media to fume at the wait. One X, formerly known as Twitter, user penned: “I love Madonna but it’s really f***ed up how she’s literally like 2 hours late for her FIRST show in the US.”
Another added: “2:30 hours late. I WANT A REFUND NOW”. “I don’t give a f*** if you’re Madonna. If you’re 3 hours late, you’re just f***ing rude”‘ someone else moaned. When Madonna did begin performing she told the relieved audience “It’s so great to be back in New York.”
It comes after Madonna broke down in tears last month as she took her Celebration world tour to Amsterdam. She was clearly overcome with emotion as paid an emotional tribute to her mum on the 60th anniversary of her death, aged 30. The date also coincided with World AIDS Day – an event she deeply cares about.

Footage taken at the Dutch capital’s Zippo Dome showed Madonna welling up on stage as her thoughts turned to the millions that have fallen victim to the disease. Addressing the crowd, she declared: “Today is World AIDS Day. Do you know that? Is that important to everybody? When I first came to New York, I was lucky enough to eventually meet and become friends with so many amazing artists… and then one day, people started getting sick, and nobody could understand what was happening.”
Madonna added: “People were just starting to lose weight. People were dropping like flies. They were going to the hospital and nobody understood what was happening. I don’t know if you understand this right now, but in the early ’80s, it was not cool to be gay. It was not accepted. Did you know that?

“Can you imagine what it was like in that time when being gay was considered sinful and disgusting? When suddenly the vast majority of the gay community started dropping like flies and people were dying everywhere? When I say that they were dying everywhere, I’m not exaggerating.” The pop star added that her best friend Martin Burgoyne was one of those who lost their lives.
“I was holding his hand,” Madonna revealed. “He was suffering so much he could barely breathe. I’m not saying this because I want you to feel sorry for me. I want you to recognise how lucky you are right now to be alive.”
