Madonna has had a crazy few months, to put it delicately. Between her health scare and the postponement of her long-awaited tour, many have wondered how she’s doing in her personal life, and apparently, thanks to her “protective” 30-year-old boyfriend Joshua Popper, she’s doing so well!

Insiders recently told The U.S. Sun that Popper has made quite a few romantic gestures for Madonna that show he’s in this relationship long-term.

“The consensus among Madonna’s friends who really care about her wellbeing and check in on her every week is that despite the age difference, Josh is a positive influence on Madonna,” the insider said. “He’s protective of her, and there’s no indication at all that he’s after her money.”

The sources added that he’s shown his solidarity for her throughout all of this, and honestly, that’s something out of a romance movie. “Even in the months they’ve been together, Josh has seen some pretty crazy stuff, like the postponement of Madonna’s tour, and hasn’t blinked,” they added. “He’s stayed by her side and he’s been supportive, and that’s been absolutely great for Madonna…. In that department, Josh has proven himself to Madonna and now it’s all about going the distance.”

And apparently, because of this, the Four Roomsstar is reportedly counting on him to help take care of her.

For those that don’t know, Madonna and Popper started dating in March 2023 after she and her previous partner Andrew Darnell split after a year together the month prior. It’s been reported that Popper and Madonna met because Popper is her other son, David’s weightlifting coach, and they met at his gym, Bredwinners.

Not much else is known about the new relationship, except for reports that claim she made him sign an NDA about certain aspects of their relationship, specifically about what goes on in the bedroom.
