Madonna appears to have confirmed that she is dating a man 35 years younger than her after posting a photo of the pair kissing on her Instagram Stories.
The 64-year-old pop legend has been rumoured to be dating boxing coach Josh Popper – who is 29 years old – for a while now, but nothing had been made official.

However, she shared a picture on Tuesday that showed her kissing Popper.
In the photo, the pair are both dressed in black, with Madge captioning it: “Killers who are partying.”
Popper is the owner of a gym called Bredwinners in Manhattan, and the rumours first started swirling after the singer shared a photo on her Instagram in which she was pressing her lips against his shoulder and squeezing his arm at the gym.

She then shared another photo in which she was grabbing hold of a punching bag that was captioned: “In a male driven culture, there are always exceptions.
“Hard to ignore the reality... that most women get demolished.”
Popper has also fueled the speculation by sharing pictures of him embracing Madonna on his own social media accounts.
This latest photo seems to confirm the meeting wasn’t just a one-off, and the pair are more romantically involved than it might first have seemed.

Popper was once a college American Football player at Rowan University, before trying out for the NFL.
While his ambitions in that field were unsuccessful, he opened a gym in 2020 that has been a success.
Well, it has even attracted along some music royalty, so he must be doing something right.
On the Bredwinners website, Popper is described as a ‘lifelong athlete and full-time coach’.
His biography continues: “For Josh, boxing isn't just about teaching you to move in the ring but teaching you how to move throughout life.

“With Coach Josh, you can expect to use your body and your brain to learn a new skill, build strength, and move functionally.
“Whether you're boxing to have fun, to learn a new sport, or to fight in the ring, all levels of fighter are welcome here. He starts where you are.”
In the photo that seems to have confirmed the pair are an item, both were dressed up in costume for the Jewish festival of Purim, which is celebrated worldwide and sees observers dress up for the occasion.
Madonna was dressed up as Queen Esther, who is the heroine of the religious story behind Purim.
