Madonna had a challenging year, and now many of her close friends are deeply concerned about her well-being and fear that her lifestyle has taken an unhealthy turn.
In June of 2023, the pop queen was forced to cancel her Celebration world tour after suffering a major health issue. The artist was in the ICU in a coma for several days after contracting an infection.
Many blamed the health issue on Madonna’s decision to overwork herself to the bone while preparing for the tour.
Back on her feet again, Madonna has decided to live life to the fullest, and some of her closest friends are worried she might be taking the concept of YOLO to a dangerous and erratic extreme.
Madonna’s close circle is taken aback by how quickly she transitions from one relationship to another, particularly with a much younger man.
The 66-year-old singer was in a torrid love affair with 29-year-old boxer and model Josh Popper. The “Like a Virgin” artist ended the romance and, at the speed of light, made her relationship with her new boyfriend, 28-year-old Akeem Morris, official on Instagram.
Associates of the icon were stunned by her decision to embark on another relationship when she promised to focus on herself after her medical emergency.
Friends also warned Madonna that these young men used her for their money, fame, and influence in music and fashion. They believe these men are not with her for love, but rather for the opportunities and lifestyle she can provide.
They are not with her for real love; that is a fact, said one pal via The Daily Mail. The same source close added: “Her friends thought that she was over dating younger men, but she clearly isn’t and no one trusts Akeem. They want Madonna to be happy, but she has to know that these guys, who are less than half her age, are not in it for love.”
They added that Akeem Morris has been enjoying the finer things in life since he met the legendary star. The person said: “He is a small-time soccer player who is now traveling the world with Madonna and partying with her famous friends.”
Akeem Morris was outed on social media immediately after confirming his romance with Madonna. Morris’ ex-girlfriend, Reagan Rice, revealed that he cheated on her with Madonna.
Rice posted on one of the videos on TikTok: “Put a finger down if your boyfriend of 3 years is now dating Madonna #madonna #breakup #wtf #2024 #heartbreak.”
She also claimed that Morris was using the star. The entertainer’s close associate explained that Morris would break Madonna’s heart as soon as he was “famous enough.”
They said: “The fact he was in a relationship with Reagan Rice when he got together with Madonna says a lot. Reagan found out on social media that he was with her. Her friends fear that if he did this to Reagan, he could do this to any woman.”
Another source told The Mail that Madonna keeps getting older, and her young toys keep getting younger. The baffled friend said: “Madonna seems to be invested in him, but it is only a matter of time before they are done, and she is onto the next one. She has a revolving door of younger men, and no matter how many candles are on her birthday cake, her men remain the same age.”
The insider confessed that the “Material Girl” singer has decided to ignore the warnings about her dangerous obsession with these men who are half her age.
The person claimed: “It is at the point where she does not seem to care, so people close to her are giving up trying to advise,” the source noted, adding, “She loves being adored, and this is what he is giving her.”
Before Popper and Morris, Madonna was in a steamy romance with dancer and choreographer Ahlamalik Williams, who was 25 when they started dating. This relationship, which began during her tour rehearsals, raised similar concerns among her friends.
Madonna also had a romantic fling with 23-year-old model Andrew Darnell.
