LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Queen of Pop Madonna is back to grabbing headlines, this time for being romantically involved with 29-year-old boxer, Josh Popper. However, according to Radar Online, sources said that to ensure utmost privacy, the 64-year-old 'Celebration' hitmaker has made her new boyfriend sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Sources told the outlet, "The number one rule of dating Madonna is you don’t talk about Madonna. No one is more controlling of her image than she is." Madonna and Popper made their relationship Instagram official with photos of the two kissing. She was also spotted sitting ringside for one of his fights at Manhattan's Classic Car Club.
Everyone who works for Madonna signs an NDA
Sources further told the outlet, "Everyone who works on her upcoming tour had to sign an NDA before they could even audition — and the same applies to boyfriends. Before they even know if they’re dating her, her lawyer is on the phone!"
Before Popper, Madonna was dating 23-year-old model Andrew Darnell and before that, 28-year-old backup dancer Ahlamalik Williams. In April 2022, after the 'La Isla Bonita' singer broke up with Williams, sources said, "Madonna has thrown herself into a busy social life and has been seeing her friends and family after the split," adding, "She has a packed schedule, working on her upcoming biopic, new music and looking after her family."
Despite their split, Madonna and Williams were "still on good terms and there are no hard feelings, but they are at different places with their lives." Sources reportedly said at that time, "With them both working on other things, it was hard to keep their romance alight."
Madonna hopes biopic will happen
While it was earlier reported that a biopic on Madonna's life, starring Julia Garner, was scrapped, the singer still hopes it will happen. "This project means the world to Madonna. Her opinion is that if it's to be a success, then Julia needs to slip into her mindset and live and breathe everything she does. It's the ultimate Method acting challenge," sources said previously.
