With her iconic status, ridiculous income, glittering career, chequered love life and ability to reinvent herself as easily as heatworld gets a new haircut, you might think there was something very special about the world-striding superstar known as Madonna. So you’ll be pleased to know that Her Madgesty is, after all, mostly just a woman – at least according to her latest lover.
French hip-hop breakdancer Brahim Zaibat is just 24 to Madge’s 52, the same age as her previous boyfriend, Brazilian Jesus Luz. But despite the difference in age and status Brahim’s not intimidated by his famous filly.
He tells French Grazia, “It wasn't like meeting a monster! She's just a woman like all the others. She's an extraordinary artist and world famous, of course, but a woman above all. You know she wasn't the first well known female singer I'd met. I was delighted to meet her but not stressed out.”
There was nothing calculated in the way the affair was made public either: he said, “We were in a club and we were seen dancing together. It was because it was Madonna that the affair took on massive proportions. We had a nice night together without thinking that there might be paparazzi there.”
In fact, Brahim’s so unimpressed by his lady love’s status that he insists the only effect it’s had has been on other people, saying, “I've stayed the same. It's others who have changed. People I haven't seen for seven years have suddenly remembered that I exist. It's become unmanageable. So I've changed my mobile number.”
Refreshingly un-starstruck or incredibly naïve? You decide!
