Madonna, 65, reportedly parted ways with her boxer boyfriend Josh Popper as the pop star’s hectic schedule due to her “The Celebration Tour” took a toll on their relationship.
“Madonna has barely seen Josh for months because her schedule was so hectic. Things just fizzled out,” an unnamed source told The Sun. “There is genuinely no bad blood—they’re still fond of each other.”
The insider further noted: “At the moment their relationship doesn’t feel feasible and they’ve cooled things off, but they are staying friends.”

Both the singer and Popper, who is 35 years her junior, have yet to address this, as of writing.
The pair met after Popper trained Madonna’s son, David Banda, at his boxing gym. They later made their relationship Instagram official in February 2023.
Months later, Popper joined the pop star’s family on a trip to Portugal on her birthday. The boxing coach was also present at Madonna’s “Celebration Tour” show in Brooklyn in December.
