Madonna Splits from Boyfriend Josh Popper: How They Met Through Her Son David Banda

Madonna has split up with her boyfriend Josh Popper after a whirlwind romance that began when they met through Madonna’s son David Banda, who was taking boxing lessons from Popper. The 65-year-old Vogue hitmaker and the 30-year-old professional boxer have reportedly called it quits after a year of dating away from the spotlight.

According to a source, Madonna’s busy schedule back on tour has caused the couple to drift apart, with the insider revealing that the pair have “barely seen” each other in recent weeks and months. The source added that their relationship simply “fizzled out” due to their absence from each other.

Despite the split, there seems to be no bad blood between the two, as they are said to still be fond of each other and are staying friends. Popper had been by Madonna’s side during her battle with a serious bacterial infection last year and even joined her on stage during her concerts.

Madonna recently wrapped up her Celebration Tour, performing in London and Brazil, with Popper noticeably absent from her side. The last time the pair were seen together in public was in December, following Madonna’s split from Ahlamalik Williams in 2022.

Fans were shocked earlier this month when Madonna was spotted wearing a gimp mask during rehearsals for her show in Rio. Despite the split from Popper, Madonna continues to captivate audiences with her performances and unique style.
