Madonna was spotted enjoying a chic evening out with her boyfriend Akeem Morris at Il Gattopardo, one of Mayfair’s most stylish restaurants, on Thursday night.
The pop icon, 67, looked effortlessly glamorous as she showed off her smooth complexion and toned legs.
She wore a striking black silk mini dress with delicate lace panels, layered with a velvet floral bomber jacket that added a hint of edge to her look.
Chunky boots and sheer tights completed her outfit, while oversized dark sunglasses gave her an air of mystery.
Silver jewelry and fingerless gloves added a playful, rockstar vibe to her ensemble.
Meanwhile, Akeem, 29, looked equally fashionable in a green plaid jacket paired with sleek black leather trousers, complementing Madonna’s bold style.
The Love Story of Madonna and Akeem Morris
The pair first crossed paths in August 2022, though it wasn’t until nearly two years later that their romance became public.
Last July, Madonna shared affectionate photos of them on Instagram, officially confirming their relationship.
Their love story has seen ups and downs.
The couple reportedly separated in October 2024 but reconciled just weeks later.
Earlier this year, engagement rumors swirled when Madonna flashed a sparkling diamond ring in a New Year Instagram post, delighting her fans worldwide.
Madonna’s Life in Love and Family
Madonna’s personal life has always been in the spotlight.
She was married to Sean Penn from 1985 to 1989, a relationship remembered for its fiery drama but now replaced by a lasting friendship.
In 1996, she welcomed her first child, Lourdes, with fitness trainer Carlos Leon, though the relationship ended shortly after.
Her second marriage to director Guy Ritchie began in 2000, producing son Rocco, now 24, before the couple divorced in 2008.
Beyond her biological children, Madonna has also adopted four children from Malawi: David, Mercy, and twins Stella and Estere, rounding out her dynamic family life.
Julia Garner Set to Play Madonna on the Big Screen
Fans of the Queen of Pop have more excitement ahead, as actress Julia Garner is set to portray Madonna in an upcoming biopic.
Despite several delays, the 31-year-old American actress confirmed she is fully on board with the project, describing it as “a work in progress” during an interview with W Magazine.
Garner shared her favorite Madonna tracks, including Borderline, Papa Don’t Preach, Burning Up, Confessions on a Dance Floor, Vogue, and Ray of Light.
She admitted her love for the singer’s entire discography, praising the emotional depth of Papa Don’t Preach in particular.
Preparing for the Role
Julia signed onto the biopic last year, a film Madonna plans to direct and write herself.
While development has been slow since 2020, Garner reassured fans the project is moving forward.
On the SmartLess podcast, she recalled the intensity of her audition, which involved dancing and singing in front of Madonna—a nerve-wracking but rewarding experience.
“I wasn’t a trained dancer, so I had to learn and then perform in front of her to prove I could do it,” Garner said.
“I owned it, and it was all about showing that I deserved to be there.”
She added about the delays, “Anything that’s great takes a long time.”
Madonna’s Ongoing Creative Journey
This isn’t Madonna’s first attempt at bringing her life story to the screen.
In 2023, she began work on a biopic titled Who’s That Girl, nodding to her iconic 1987 film and song.
With Julia Garner now stepping into the role, fans are eager to see this long-awaited project finally come to life.
What comes next for Madonna—both in love and on screen—continues to captivate audiences around the globe.
