Speaking to ABC News about her young lovers, Madonna said: "I didn't choose to, you know, I didn't write down on a piece of paper, 'I'm going to have a relationship with a younger man'."
She added: "I've never really lived a conventional life, so I think it's quite foolish for me or anyone else to start thinking that I am going to start making conventional choices."
