Pop icon Madonna surprised fans on May 4 by sharing a series of affectionate and rare photos with rumored boyfriend Akeem Morris on Instagram, celebrating the Jamaican-born footballer’s 29th birthday.
In a heartfelt post, the “Material Girl” singer referred to Morris as her “favorite Taurus,” along with a photo carousel featuring the two wrapped in each other’s arms at a lively nightclub party. The celebration included a special performance by YG Marley and a massive birthday cake covered in candles, as Madonna sang “Happy Birthday” to the athlete.
The photos and videos quickly fueled dating rumors, with many fans speculating about the duo’s relationship status. Madonna and Morris appeared close throughout the celebration, with snaps showing them walking hand-in-hand, embracing, and gazing into each other’s eyes on the dance floor.
Morris also shared his appreciation on Instagram, posting clips of himself dancing with Madonna, who wore a sheer blouse with a lacy bra underneath. In his caption, he wrote, “All I can say is thank you. Thank you wifey ❤️… It was a special night, and the energy in the room was nothing but love.”
A standout moment from his post featured Madonna sitting on Morris’ lap, surrounded by friends and family. According to Page Six, Madonna’s youngest children — Mercy, 19, and twins Stella and Estere, 12 — were also in attendance, adding a family touch to the event.
The pair has been linked since July 2024, when Morris appeared in Madonna’s now-deleted Fourth of July Instagram post. They were later spotted leaving a New York Fashion Week afterparty together in September and have since appeared in several social media updates, including an Oscar party post in March 2025.
While the Queen of Pop has yet to confirm their romance, fans can’t help but notice the chemistry between the two. With consistent public appearances and loving captions, Madonna and Morris are quickly becoming one of the most talked-about rumored celebrity couples of 2025.
