Madonna, the music icon, has reportedly ended her relationship with professional boxer and gym coach, Josh Popper, after being together for just a year. The 65-year-old singer began dating the 30-year-old boxer after they were introduced by her son in early 2023. They made their relationship official on Instagram in February. Madonna showed her support by attending one of Josh’s boxing matches in March and they even went on a holiday to Portugal together for her birthday in August. However, they haven’t been seen together in public since December, with reports suggesting that Madonna’s busy schedule led to the end of their romance.
According to a source, Madonna and Josh have decided to part ways due to her hectic work commitments. The source stated that their relationship has cooled off but there are no hard feelings between them. Madonna’s busy schedule, including her Celebration Tour at the O2 arena in London, has made it difficult for them to spend time together. Despite the split, they remain friends.
Josh and Madonna first met when he was giving boxing lessons to her adopted son, David Banda, at his gym in New York City. Josh, who became the NYC Ring Masters Heavyweight Champion in 2023, also appeared on the reality TV show Summer House. He proudly shared their relationship on social media, posting a photo of them together at his gym and expressing his excitement.
During their time together, Madonna and Josh traveled extensively and supported each other in their respective endeavors. Madonna attended Josh’s boxing matches, while he stood by her side during a serious bacterial infection that landed her in the ICU for several days. However, recent sightings of Madonna with singer Eric Labat at a party in New York City have fueled rumors of their split. Eric Labat gained fame as a contestant on a French singing competition in 2017.
Madonna has had her fair share of relationships with younger partners in the past, including backup dancers Ahlamalik Williams and Brahim Zaibat, as well as model Kevin Sampaio. It seems that Madonna’s love life continues to make headlines, even after this recent breakup with Josh Popper.
Madonna has had quite a busy year! The iconic singer, who has been in the spotlight for decades, has been making headlines with her personal life. Before her current relationship, Madonna was married to actor Sean Penn from 1985 to 1989. However, her most famous relationship was with director Guy Ritchie, whom she was married to from 2000 to 2008. Together, they have a son named Rocco.
In addition to her biological child, Lourdes, whom she shares with former partner Carlos Leon, Madonna is also a mother to four adopted children: David, Mercy, and twins Stella and Esther. It’s clear that family is important to Madonna, and she has created a diverse and loving family unit.
But Madonna’s year wasn’t just about her personal life. She also embarked on an epic Celebration Tour, which recently came to an end. The tour took her all over the world, from Europe to the States, and even to North America, Canada, and Mexico City. The highlight of the tour was a free concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which attracted an incredible 1.6 million fans. This concert broke records as the biggest standalone concert ever!
Madonna continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Her talent and dedication to her craft have made her one of the most successful and influential artists of all time. We can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!
