Madonna, 66, quietly splits from boyfriend Akeem Morris, 28, over 'same old issue', reveals source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pop icon Madonna, 66, has quietly parted ways with her boyfriend, Akeem Morris, 28, after a brief but publicized relationship.
A source close to the singer revealed that the couple ended things in late October, just months after sharing a romantic July 4th celebration on her Instagram. While the split is reported to be amicable, the source cited the “age difference” and lifestyle changes as contributing factors to the relationship’s end.
Madonna splits from boyfriend Akeem Morris
"Madonna ran into the same issue with this boytoy as she has with all of her recent men. The age difference became an issue. They come from different time periods. Madonna felt Akeem had a wandering eye because he did," an insider connected to the 'Like a Virgin' icon shared exclusively with Daily Mail.
Their whirlwind romance included travel and public appearances, but as life slowed down, so did their connection. "When the globe-trotting stopped, the excitement stopped as well," the source explained.
Following the breakup, Madonna is focusing on her Upper East Side home and upcoming biopic project, while Morris has reportedly relocated to an island.
"Ultimately it had run it’s course and there are no hard feelings or drama," the insider said. "It was just time for them to go their separate ways. Akeem is now living on an island, and Madonna is obviously in her UES pad working on her biopic."
Halloween marks final appearance together of Madonna and Akeem Morris
Madonna, and her now ex-boyfriend, Akeem Morris, appear to have gone their separate ways shortly after being spotted in coordinated Halloween costumes. Madonna, dressed in a floor-length white gown with a lace veil, embraced a "crying Madonna" look, while Morris, 28, donned monk’s robes. This marked their last public appearance as a couple, as reports suggest the two split just after the holiday.
Morris, a former college soccer player from Spanish Town, Jamaica, first appeared alongside Madonna on the cover of Paper Magazine in 2022, though they didn’t make regular public appearances until the summer of 2023.
Before dating Morris, Madonna had several high-profile relationships, including with 30-year-old boxer Joshua Popper, whom she met through her son, David Banda. She was also romantically linked to dancer Ahlamalik Williams, with whom she spent three years before they split in April 2022.
The recent breakup comes over a year after Madonna faced a serious health scare due to a bacterial infection, which led to her being hospitalized in the ICU. Thankfully, the singer recovered and has continued to focus on her family, consisting of her six children: Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, and twins Stella and Estere.
