Madonna was recently spotted enjoying the picturesque streets of Portofino, Italy, hand-in-hand with her new beau, Akeem Morris, who is 37 years her junior. The 65-year-old music legend looked every bit the star as she strolled through the historic town with the 28-year-old Jamaican-born soccer player, just days before celebrating her 66th birthday on August 16. The couple appeared completely at ease, with Madonna holding on to Akeem's arm as they took in the sights.
Akeem, who first crossed paths with the Like a Prayer singer during her August 2022 Paper magazine cover shoot, looked casual yet stylish in a green collared knit top and white shorts, accessorized with sunglasses. The pair later enjoyed a leisurely al fresco lunch with friends, adding to the relaxed, romantic vibe of their Italian getaway. Madonna, known for her bold fashion choices, didn’t disappoint on this occasion either.
She donned a striking black gown with a thigh-length dress layered under a dramatic lace overlay that reached her ankles and featured a cape. The ensemble was completed with black lace gloves, sunglasses, and a cascade of layered necklaces, including a prominent cross, which added a touch of her signature edgy glamour. Her blonde locks, styled in loose waves, framed her face as she confidently walked on the cobblestone streets in slip-on sandals.
The couple’s public outing comes just over a month after they celebrated the Fourth of July together, a moment Madonna shared on her Instagram.
