One of the biggest pop stars of the 20th and 21st centuries was seen making her first public displays of affection with her new boyfriend on Thursday.
Madonna, 66, didn't let the nearly 40-year age gap between herself and her new lover Akeem Morris stop her from showing some major PDA on a boat ride by the Italian tourist destination Positano.
The A-list hitmaker caressed the 28-year-old Jamaican-born soccer player's face as she leaned in for a passionate kiss.
Madonna has been leaning in to her new romance ahead of her birthday celebrations on Friday, a day after the steamy seaside encounter, when she's expected to celebrate with up to 500 celebrity guests.
She will be ringing in her 66th year at an amphitheater in Pompeii that is more than 2,000 years old, despite the objections of local residents who were shocked at how little Madonna paid to rent the historic venue.

The age-defying beauty leaned in for some passionate kisses with the 28-year-old former soccer player, who is nearly 40 years her junior.
Akeem could be seen making loving expressions at the songstress (born Madonna Louise Ciccone) as he sat opposite her on the small boat, which rode right up to the rocky cliffs of the village, which is located on the Amalfi coast, a popular destination for travelers.
Madonna was sure to have something stylish on for her star-studded birthday bash, but she opted for comfort and sun protection while exploring the coast.
She wore a floppy wide-brimmed beige Gucci hat that mostly hid her face while her long blond braided pig tails peaked out.
She contrasted the hat with a long-sleeve black shirt with white text over her chest, along with black leggings that emphasized her trim figure.
The Like A Prayer singer completed the look with a set of chunky white trainers for added grip on the boat's wet surfaces.
Akeem was dressed similar in a black T-shirt with black shorts covered in a colorful patten, along with cobalt blue trainers.
He wore his hair in slim dreads that hung down to his shoulders under his black trucker cap.
At one point, the Material Girl appeared to pitch forward, possibly from the bumpy sea, and she landed with her hands on Akeem's lap.
Madonna was first seen with her new love back in July 2024 when she posted a photo featuring him to Instagram

In addition to Akeem, Madonna appeared to be joined by several of her children ahead of her Italian birthday celebration, including her twins, Stella and Estere, and her sons Rocco Ritchie, 24, and David Banda, 18.
She also has an older daughter, 27-year-old Lourdes Leon, and her 18-year-old daughter Mercy James, though it wasn't clear if all of her children would be joining her for the birthday bash.

David, Mercy, Stella and Estere were all born in Malawi and later adopted by Madonna.
Rocco was among those going for a boat ride, and he looked relaxed in a gray tank top with green patterned shorts.
When she wasn't sailing, Madonna could be seen trying to beat the heat while out on the balcony of a gorgeous white building.
The Into The Groove singer had brought along a cream-colored lace parasol, which she opened above her head to block out some of the sunlight.
This time, she wore her long blond hair braid-free in waves cascading down her shoulders.
David looked as stylish as ever in perfect classy holiday clothing with a pink polo shirt, which he wore with sleek white chinos and black leather slippers

She cuddled up to him on a sofa as they celebrated the July 4 holiday.
As his romance was heating up with Madonna, Akeem's ex-girlfriend seemingly confirmed that they were dating when she made a bitter post about her 'boyfriend of three years' dating the singer.
Akeem was born on May 2, 1996, in Jamaica, though he now lives in New York City.
He studied a Stony Brook University from 2014 to 2018, where he earned a bachelor's degree in political science and government.
While a college he showed off his talent for soccer on the school's team from 2014 to 2017.

According to ESPN, Akeem was also briefly a forward for New York's Oyster Bay United FC.
The athlete, who appeared on Madonna's August 2022 Paper Magazine cover shoot, was seen earlier on Tuesday when he and the musician who is 37 years his senior took a stroll around Portofino.
He cut a casual figure in a tan ribbed sweater with beige shorts, while Madonna went all out in a black lace dress.
The hitmaker came under fire from residents who live near the amphitheater in Pompeii that she will be holding her birthday party at, as they were disturbed to learn that she had been able to rent it out for only €30,000, or around $33,085.
