Madonna’s love life has taken another twist as she’s reportedly split from her toyboy beau Josh Popper.
The Queen of Pop, aged 65, and the hunky 30-year-old boxer have thrown in the towel on their romance after a year of low-key loving. The pair, who were introduced by Madge’s son David Banda at the Bredwinners gym in the Big Apple, have struggled to keep the flame alive due to Madonna’s jam-packed tour schedule.
An insider spilled the beans that the Material Girl and her muscular ex have “barely seen” each other lately, leading their passionate affair to “fizzle out” due to the lack of face time. “Madonna has barely seen Josh for months because her schedule was so hectic. Things just fizzled out,” dished a source to The Sun. “There is genuinely no bad blood – they’re still fond of each other”, reports the Mirror.

The source added: “At the moment their relationship doesn’t feel feasible and they’ve cooled things off, but they are staying friends.” Madge, who recently got back into the groove with her Celebration Tour, dazzled fans in London last October after bouncing back from health woes.
She ended her string of gigs with a bang in Brazil earlier this month, hosting a massive bash but it seems Popper hasn’t been in the picture for a while. The sportsman is believed to have stayed by her side while the mother of six was in ICU battling a severe bacterial infection last year.
He also accompanied her to Portugal for her birthday in August, and later joined her on stage in Brooklyn in December. This marked the last public appearance of the couple, who were first linked romantically in 2023 after Madonna’s break up with Ahlamalik Williams in 2022.
Earlier this month, the singer stunned fans by donning a gimp mask. Before her free show in Copacabana, Madonna was spotted rehearsing her risque routines.
She paired her gimp outfit with a knee brace to support a recent injury. During her sound check, she was seen wearing a lime green latex hood over her face, which she later replaced with a black one.
She completed the look with shorts, a sheer t-shirt, and long lace gloves, performing some provocative moves on stage. Madonna was also seen strutting around the stage in silver boots and a skintight velvet catsuit.
