Madonna has enjoyed a ‘perfect ending’ to her long 66th birthday celebrations in Italy with her rumoured new boyfriend
The Queen of Pop hit the milestone on 16 August but has been on holiday for weeks with Jamaican footballer Akeem Morris, 28, with the pair taking in the country’s most popular tourist hotspots.
She captioned a set of images from their trip to Rome – one of which showed them standing inside an ancient church: “Arrivederci Roma!!! A perfect ending to a Glorious Birthday Celebration with friends and family! (Dancing, cake, clinking champagne glasses, red heart, Italy flag emojis.) Ciao Italia!!!!”
Mother-of-six Madonna’s twin daughters Stella and Estere, 11, popped up in her holiday shots, and could be seen sitting together inside of what appeared to be the same museum and inside the chapel.
In earlier shots taken with Akeem, Madonna was seen holding the athlete’s hand as she wore a white gown with a black bodice underneath.
Another image showed them seated together at a banquet table set for Madonna’s birthday dinner, which was hosted by the Archaeological Park of Pompeii’s ancient theatre.
Madonna first met her rumoured new love Akeem in 2022 when they appeared in a shoot together in the Paper magazine.
They weren’t seen together again until July 2024, when the musician posted snaps of him on her Instagram.
Madonna’s images showed her cuddling up to the footballer on 4 July as they celebrated the US holiday together in New York.
She has also posted a picture of herself in bed with Akeem that was captioned: “Hot Fun In The Summer Time.”
Akeem lives in New York after being born in Jamaica, the Mail has reported, which also said he has a degree in political science and government after studying at Stony Brook University between 2014 and 2017.
During his time at university, Akeem played soccer and also was a forward for Oyster Bay United football club.
