Queen of pop Madonna went Instagram official with her romance with boxing coach Josh Popper.
Madonna and her new boyfriend, who is reportedly training one of her children at the Bredwinners gym in New York City, shared a passionate kiss to confirm their relationship officially.
The singer previously shared a picture of herself cuddling with Popper on Instagram. According to reports, she broke off her five-month relationship with her ex-boyfriend Andrew Darnell, following which she went through a “crisis of confidence” experience.
Read on for more details.
Madonna And Josh Popper Share A Kiss
Madonna, 64, went Instagram official with Popper, 29, as she posted a photo of them kissing, with masks on and adorned in all-black ensembles.
She captioned it, “Killers who are partying,” and was seen dressed as Queen Esther for a Jewish party, Purim. The singer wore a black lace mask, while Popper donned a black scarf and cap, exposing only his eyes. They both wore long, black jackets and paired them with dark, high boots.
It is unknown when the pair first met, but according to Daily Mail, Popper is the coach of one of the singer’s children, David Banda, at his Bredwinners gym in New York City.
The boxer took a dip into reality TV as he appeared on Bravo’s reality show “Summer House,” starring as a personal trainer to cast member Samantha Feher.
Madonna has been seen supporting her new beau during a boxing match, as she was pictured ringside cheering him on.
Popper reportedly won the match, with sources telling Page Six that “Madonna doesn’t date losers” and that “She looked good” during the fight.
Madonna’s Previous Relationship
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.”
Madonna Allegedly Spiralled After Andrew Darnell’s Split
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.
