Madonna turned 66 surrounded by her children and a sexy new beau — 28-year-old soccer player Akeem Morris.
The "Material Girl" hitmaker marked her age milestone in Italy with a lavish birthday bash that proudly flaunted her new romance. She and her rumored boyfriend stepped out in matching ensembles for the big day.
This is not the first time Madonna has fueled speculations about her relationship with Akeem Morris. Earlier this month, she shared a suggestive picture of the pair in bed, seemingly confirming their romance.

On Monday, Madonna gave fans a glimpse into her family's recent getaway to Italy. She shared 20 pictures on Instagram, capturing their celebrations and sweet moments with her new flame Morris.
One of the pictures captured her walking into the party's venue in a beautiful black-and-white ensemble. She donned a black lace bustier underneath a flowy white gown with lace details and heaps of gold jewelry.
Meanwhile, Morris was a dashing prince beside the singer, flaunting his tall frame in an all-white suit. He went shirtless underneath the jacket and matched his rumored lover's outfit with a statement black boutonnière and black shoes.
He also accessorized with multiple gold necklaces and a watch, placing a loving hand around his girlfriend's waist as he guided her into the party's venue. Another picture showed the pair sitting side-by-side at the table, with Morris unable to keep his gaze off Madonna.
Madonna Shared A Rare Picture With Her Six Children
Morris wasn't the only star at the event, as Madonna's six children proved they inherited her bold fashion style. Her son Rocco Ritchie followed the black-and-white theme with a loose white shirt and black pants, while her second son David Banda donned a casual striped top.
Madonna's daughters brought the heat. Her oldest, Lourdes, was in a sizzling lingerie-style black dress. Her second oldest daughter, Mercy, matched her vibe with a mini red dress. The twins Stella and Estere donned varying gowns, one in a cherry dress and the other in a black ruffle dress.
All six children posed with their famous mother at the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Her carousel also featured a bird's eye view of them enjoying a private candlelit dinner with other guests and shots of Madonna posing with friends.
