Pop icon Madonna, 66, has reportedly ended her relationship with 28-year-old Akeem Morris, just months after the couple became Instagram-official. According to an inside source, the couple quietly parted ways in late October, marking the end of a whirlwind romance that captured fans’ attention over the summer.
Madonna’s relationship with Morris, a former college soccer player from Jamaica, became public after they were spotted celebrating together on July 4th. However, signs of trouble surfaced recently, with Morris noticeably absent from Madonna’s side during her recent outing to the polls in New York City.
The couple’s age difference reportedly contributed to the split. “Madonna ran into the same issue she’s faced in her previous relationships,” a source told DailyMail.com, noting that the age gap led to lifestyle differences. “She felt Akeem had a wandering eye, which added to the tension.”
When the couple’s busy travel schedule slowed, their relationship began to lose its excitement, the source revealed. Despite this, the breakup was said to be amicable, with both parties simply feeling it was “time to go their separate ways.”
Morris, who also appeared with Madonna in Paper Magazine, is now reportedly living on an island, while Madonna has returned to New York, focusing on her upcoming biopic project.
Madonna has a history of dating younger men, including former partners Joshua Popper and dancer Ahlamalik Williams. Her split with Morris comes a year after the singer’s health scare due to a severe bacterial infection that landed her in the ICU, highlighting how much she has overcome recently.
