The singer reportedly ended her 5-month-old relationship with ex-boyfriend Andrew Darnell. Madonna's attraction to younger men is well known as she dumped her former boyfriend, 28-year-old Ahlamalik Williams, for Darnell, who was 23 at the time.

They were photographed kissing on the cover of Paper magazine in August of last year, showing off their immense attraction for each other at the time of their romance.

Per Page Six, a source said, "They were definitely smooching. She and Andrew were being very openly affectionate all night, snuggling and cuddling in the booth."

Following her split from her ex-boyfriend last month, Madonna reportedly went through a "crisis of confidence," which was exacerbated by fan criticism of her appearance at the Grammys.

"It was only a very casual thing with Darnell, so she's not broken-hearted. It's just that it has come at a bad time," a source told Page Six. "She's having a bit of a crisis of confidence and this doesn't help. She had a lot of fun with Andrew but it was never love or anything like that."

The singer then came under fire after her photos during the Grammy awards show sparked talks of too much plastic surgery.

In response, she stated that the photos were taken with a long lens, which distorted her face, and that comments about her appearance were motivated by "ageism" and "misogyny."

Madonna then tweeted a picture of herself a week later and captioned it, "Look how cute I am now that swelling from surgery has gone down. Lol."

Since then, several fans have reacted to the image, expressing shock at how the aforementioned camera lens failed to do her justice.

'Sex Is My Obsession'

The "Like a Prayer" crooner previously shared her biggest regrets and favorite guilty pleasure.

Madonna featured in a YouTube video at the time that was titled "Finally Enough Talk: 50 Questions With Madonna," in which she made the revelations.

The interviewer had asked what decision in her life "wasn't the best idea," to which she replied, "getting married. Both times!"

In the video, she continued by saying that her current "obsession" was having sex. After being asked what her zodiac sign is, the singer, in typical Madonna fashion, responded, "Sex."

Madonna is known for her love of lewd and very daring acts, so it's no surprise how X-rated her responses were during the interview.
