At 65, Madonna has been spotted looking more affectionate than ever with her much younger boyfriend, Akeem Morris, who is 28. The couple was seen together in Portofino, Italy, celebrating Madonna’s birthday. Madonna was dressed in a long black netted dress, with her blonde hair down and dark sunglasses on, while accessorizing with multiple necklaces and bracelets. Her companion, Akeem—a Jamaican-born soccer player—was casually dressed in beige shorts and a green top.

They appeared very close as they enjoyed a leisurely stroll through Portofino and later had an outdoor lunch with friends. Madonna is about to turn 66 on Friday and is making it a grand affair with a week-long celebration in Italy. The couple’s relationship was confirmed last month, and Madonna shared a photo online of them out in Portofino on Monday evening.

Madonna, who had a health scare last summer before her Celebration Tour, is eager to savor every moment. This lavish party and trip are also a way for her to express gratitude to her loved ones for their support. She and Akeem, who resides in New York and met her through work, traveled by private jet from London to Genoa City Airport before continuing their journey through Italy.
