Madonna's Boyfriend: Akeem Morris
Madonna has recently been seen with Akeem Morris, sparking rumors of a new romance following her breakup earlier this year, Daily Mail reported. Akeem, a Jamaican-born footballer, first entered the pop icon's life during a 2022 Paper magazine photoshoot in which they both appeared. This relationship bridges a 37-year age difference, with Madonna being 65 and Akeem turning 28.
The duo was first sighted together again in July 2024 when Madonna posted pictures on Instagram of them celebrating the Fourth of July in New York City. This festive night took place at Le Bain at The Standard, showcasing playful moments of them on a balcony. Shortly after, Madonna shared images from their time together, including a suggestive photo of them in bed, captioned: "Hot Fun in The Summer Time………🔥."
Akeem, who holds a degree in political science from Stony Brook University (2014-2017), is not only a sportsman, having played soccer at Stony Brook and for Oyster Bay United FC, but also has interests in fashion and lifestyle, which he frequently showcases on his Instagram. Born on May 2, 1996, Akeem now resides in New York City, where he shares snippets of his life around Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Madonna, gearing up to celebrate her 66th birthday, arrived in Italy with Akeem. They were seen in Portofino and are believed to mark the occasion at a private Dolce & Gabbana estate. Local Italian press has reported that Akeem will be by her side during these celebrations.
Their initial Paper magazine cover shoot in August 2022 showed Madonna amidst a "wild" night in New York City, with Akeem also prominently featured. Conducted by Nile Rodgers, the interview and the photoshoot took place at Sugar Hill Supper Club in Brooklyn, capturing Madonna and new, energetic artists like Akeem, contributing to a vivid pictorial of nightlife.
Despite sharing a kiss with Josh Popper on stage in December 2023, Madonna's relationship with Popper ended before she rekindled her connection with Akeem. Around this rekindling, Akeem's ex-girlfriend publically shared her mixed emotions about Akeem's new relationship on TikTok, adding a dramatic layer to the unfolding romance.
In Akeem's Instagram post celebrating their Paper photoshoot, he expressed his gratitude with the caption: "Jus a yute from Spanish Town 🇯🇲 Thank you for the opportunity 🙏🏽💥 @madonna @papermagazine." This post echoed his appreciation for the break that marked the whimsical beginning of their association.
As Madonna continues to share glimpses of their adventures, it is evident this new chapter with Akeem adds a provocative yet sweet note to both their narratives.
