Madonna 'introduces boxer toyboy Joshua Popper, 29, to son Rocco Ritchie, 23, during her 65th birthday getaway in Lisbon'
Madonna spent her 65th birthday in Lisbon, Portugal over the weekend, which she also used as an opportunity to introduce her 29-year-old boyfriend Joshua Popper to her 23-year-old son, Rocco Ritchie.
Rocco, her oldest son with her ex-husband, filmmaker Guy Ritchie, was on the family trip with siblings Lourdes, 26, David Banda, 17, Mercy James, 17, and 10-year-old twins Stella and Estere, according to a report from The Sun.
There is no word on how the introduction went between Madonna's boyfriend and her oldest son.
Madonna and Popper started dating earlier this year, first meeting after he was training her son David in the boxing ring.
Just days earlier, though, the pop icon revealed she nearly died from a bacterial infection and had to be rushed to the hospital.

The star wrote in her Instagram caption, 'It’s great to be Alive….. and Amazing to Be able to put on my dancing shoes and Celebrate my Birthday! Im So Grateful. Thank you Lisbon and to all who made it possible!'
The singer shared several new images and videos from her 65th birthday celebration in Portugal.
Among the surprises in the fast-past clip played to her song Vogue was a snapshot of her daughter Lourdes singing to her mother.
Lourdes wore a white dress and high heels with her long black hair down as she belted out a tune.
The triumphant birthday posts came a day after Madonna announced the rescheduled dates for her Celebration Tour, following a health battle brought on by a serious bacterial infection.
Although she has not shared exactly what the infection was that she was afflicted with, she shared her gratitude shortly after being discharged from the hospital in late June.
'I have felt your love. I'm on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life,' she wrote.
And to celebrate her new lease on life, Madonna Louise Ciccone shared a video to TikTok captioned 'Happy Birthday to me!' which saw the singer appear younger than ever with a remarkably smooth visage.
In true Madonna fashion, things got a little risqué as she lifted her arms to reveal a black lace bra and signature corset underneath a silk top.

Madonna toasted her 65th bash during an intimate dinner in Lisbon, Portugal — where she resided between 2017 and 2020 — on Tuesday night as the clock struck midnight.
In a video shared on social media, the mother-of-six was seen dining with her friends and family as she gave a short speech, declaring: 'It's great to be alive!'
According to The Portugal News, the performer will remain is Portugal's coastal capital city until the weekend.
'She landed with about 30 friends from all over the world, on a normal plane because she is an environmentalist, she gave up her private plane a few years ago,' CMTV columnist Adriano Silva Martins revealed.
The Holiday hitmaker is staying overnight at the Hotel Pestana Palace.
