Madonna well and truly got Into the Groove with her toyboy lover Josh Popper, after inviting him to join her on stage in New York.
Mixing business with pleasure, the Queen of Pop turned up the heat with her younger boyfriend on the first US date of her epic Celebration tour. Romance was in the air at the Barclay Center, in Brooklyn, when Madge, 65, planted a kiss on 30-year-old Popper’s cheek in front of the 14,000-strong crowd.
The boxing coach and model made an unexpected appearance during the Vogue segment of the show, titled ‘Estere’s Ball’ after her 11-year-old daughter. Mum-of-six Madonna and her boyfriend sat beside one another and held up score cards as dancers performed sexy ballroom-style moves on a catwalk.

Whilst the music icon sparkled in a black-and-silver bustier, teamed with opera gloves and heels, Popper opted for a simple T-shirt, shredded black pants and trainers. Afterwards, Madonna posted a picture of herself and Josh clutching ’10’ scorecards on Insta Story, with the caption: “10’s across the board!” He was the latest surprise guest, following hot on the heels of FKA Twigs, Donatella Versace, Julia Fox and Diplo.

Madonna fell for Popper, who owns a gym called Bredwinners in the Big Apple, after hiring him to coach one of her children. They went Instagram official in February and have made several public outings together since, including at a piano recital in April.

However, Madonna also hit a real bum note at the gig and left fans fuming after arriving almost two hours later. The 4 Minutes singer didn’t appear until 10.45pm rather than her usual call time between 9 and 10pm. According to People, there were “issues during soundcheck that caused the schedule to get delayed by an hour” and that she was “sound-checking until the moment they did to work out the issues.”
One social media user complained, “I love Madonna but it’s really f***ed up how she’s literally like 2 hours late for her FIRST show in the US,” while others railed that it was “just f***ing rude” and that they “WANT A REFUND NOW.” Some shrugged off Madonna’s tardiness though, writing “Late as f*** but she did the thing,” and was “late made up for it.”
Madonna later addressed the audience, quipping: “The love from a New Yorker is like making a big fat smelly rat come up to you and put your arms around you. I made it. I’m not comparing you guys to rats – I know that sounded weird!"
