Just friends? Behind the scenes on Madonna's new tour is willing to swear that the 64-year-old Queen of Pop is in an intimate relationship with Colombian star Maluma, 35 years her junior.

While it has not yet been announced that the 29-year-old Latin idol will be a guest on the world-wide tour that begins this summer, the two are making sure to prepare together and rehearse together for the biggest production of Madonna's career – a tour that concludes a tumultuous 40-year career.
Madonna and Maluma first met in 2018, when they met at the MTV Video Music Awards. The chemistry between them was so great that they quickly recorded the song "Medellin", which appeared a year later on Madonna's album Madame X and was considered a huge hit - also backed up by a hot music video. In the intervening years, the two spent a lot of time together and commemorated the encounters on their social networks, and now, as mentioned, the alleged friends are collaborating once again ahead of the tour.
"People think Maluma will be a guest at Madonna's South American shows, because he's a giant there. They worked together for a few days during rehearsals, and that's where the flirtation actually started," one of the sources reveals. "After rehearsals, they spent a weekend together in New York. They seemed very close and the chemistry between them was insane." The source added that since the crew didn't like seeing the two cuddling backstage, "the dancers left them alone to let them continue on their own." Madonna even recently posted a story on Instagram, where you can see the duo "rehearsing" quite intense and intimate.

And no, we haven't forgotten that just two months ago, Madonna's name was linked to another 29-year-old man - a boxer and reality TV star named Josh Popper, who trained one of her sons. It seems that Maluma, shall we say, gave Mr. Popper a knockout.
