She was not only the hot blonde chic of the 90s, but also one of the most influential artists of her time. People were either a fan of her music or had a big fat crush on her.
But now that she’s 63 years old, does the Queen of Pop still have the charm to sweep men off their feet? It appears so, because she’s had numerous lovers in the past ten years.
In fact, Madonna recently made headlines when she started dating her back-up dancer Ahlamalik Williams who is only 26 years old.
The 37-year-gap between Madonna and Williams did not sit right with some people. Needless to say, there’s a lot to unpack about this very controversial relationship.
From their first meeting to their lavish romantic dates, here’s everything you need to know about Madonna and her latest boyfriend!
Who is Ahlamalik Williams?
Before we dive deeper into his relationship with the diva, let’s get to know him first.

How Did Madonna and Ahlamalik Meet?
The couple’s first meeting happened way back in 2015, when Ahlamalik auditioned to be part of Madonna’s Rebel Heart tour as her back-up dancer. According to Mr. Williams, Ahlamalik’s dad, his son stood out from his group and was personally picked by Madonna herself.
Madonna and Ahlamalik did not work together again until 2019, when he returned to choreograph for Madonna’s Madame X Tour. Reports say that the couple have been dating as early as 2018, but nothing can be confirmed.
What we do know is that their relationship went official when the couple started posting pictures of each other on their social media accounts.
The public was quick to criticize their relationship, citing how Madonna is old enough to be her beau’s grandma. However, the Queen of Pop isn’t bothered by anyone’s opinion. In fact, they’ve been going out and posting more pictures of them together.
Madonna has also taken a step further to prove that this isn’t just a fling: she invited Ahlamalik’s parents to attend one of her Caesar’s Palace shows. After that, she even had her personal chef cook them a nice dinner!
