Neither Madonna nor Josh have commented on their relationship yet.
American pop singer Madonna, who broke up with 23-year-old model Andrew Darnell after a five-month romance, seems to have found solace in the arms of a new young man. The Daily Mail writes that the artist is dating 29-year-old boxing trainer Josh Popper, who runs the Bredwinners gym in Manhattan.
The first photo appeared at the end of February, when the singer was photographed with Josh in a Brooklyn gym.
According to Madonna’s friends, Popper is the coach of the singer’s children.
The artist shared a photo with Josh, but then deleted the pictures, but Popper’s account has shots where he poses next to a celebrity, who in one of the pictures very eloquently pressed against his shoulder.

Not much is known about Josh. Before he opened the Bredwinners Lounge in Manhattan’s Flatiron three years ago, the young man was an insurance salesman for New York Life. He grew up in the town of Egg Harbor in southern New Jersey. Popper was once a promising quarterback at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, from which he graduated in 2015. He later tried out for two NFL teams but failed to qualify.
A short biography on the Bredwinner website describes Popper as a “lifelong athlete and longtime coach”.
“For Josh, boxing isn’t just about teaching you how to move in the ring, it’s about teaching you how to move throughout your life. With Coach Josh, you can expect to be able to use your body and brain to learn a new skill, build strength and functional movement. Whether you’re boxing for fun, learning a new sport, or fighting in the ring, fighters of all levels are welcome here. He starts where you are.”

Neither Popper nor Madonna spoke publicly about their romance, but only shared photos of them together at the gym on social media. None of them responded to press requests for comment on the relationship either.
The heavyweight, 195 cm tall and weighing 109 kg, took part in only a few official fights, but at some point expressed interest in turning professional.
In addition to sports, he tries himself on television. Josh appeared in the final season of The Summer House, which is about a group of nine attractive young friends living in a summer house in Montauk in East Hampton.
Focus previously wrote that Madonna had lost her older brother. Anthony Ciccone died in February 2023 in poverty.
