Madonna is reportedly engaged to her 29-year-old boyfriend, Akeem Morris, leading to rumors that the Queen of Pop may soon be walking down the aisle once again. The 67-year-old superstar has reportedly “never been happier,” calling this relationship her most grounded and genuine in decades.
Rumors suggest Madonna and Akeem Morris are engaged
After a whirlwind romance, Radar Online insiders claim Madonna quietly got engaged to Akeem Morris, a rising soccer player for the NY Renegades FC. The couple first met during a 2022 Paper Magazine shoot. They reportedly began dating shortly after the 67-year-old’s split from boxer Joshua Popper last year. They made their relationship public in the summer of 2024. Fans fueled speculation earlier this year when they spotted Madonna wearing a diamond ring. This was during her New Year’s trip to Tokyo.
A source shared, “Madonna keeps saying she doesn’t want to waste another minute. She’s done everything there is to do, but now she’s craving something genuine. Akeem gives her that sense of calm and connection – he makes her laugh, pushes her in all the right ways, and treats her better than anyone before.”
The seriousness of their relationship was recently on full display during Madonna’s 67th birthday celebration in Tuscany. The couple gathered at the lavish villa of Sting and Trudie Styler for a party. Madonna’s six children also attended, and friends described the event as “joyous and intimate.” This gathering signaled a new, family-oriented chapter for the star.
After all, Morris has seamlessly integrated into Madonna’s family life. A family friend observed, “You could see from the way they looked at each other that this is the real thing. She’s completely besotted, and her children absolutely love him.” Described as “steady, loyal and quietly ambitious,” Morris helped in organizing and coaching a soccer party for Madonna’s 13-year-old twins, Stella and Estere.
No official date has been announced for Madonna and Akeem Morris’s wedding. Sources suggest that their wedding plans are already underway. She is reportedly considering venues in Italy, Portugal, or her private estate in East Hampton.
