Trolls mock age difference as Madonna, 63, calls it QUITS with boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams, 28

Madonna has split up from her boyfriend of three years after deciding things were not working out

Madonna has reportedly split from her boyfriend of three years. The 63-year-old 'queen of pop' told her friends she is single again after she was certain things were not working between her and the 28-year-old American dancer, Ahlamalik Williams.

The former couple - who share a massive 35-year age gap - got together in 2019. Back then, Madonna used to regularly share images of Williams on her Instagram. However, they seem to have parted ways since January this year after an amicable decision to separate.

An unnamed source told The Sun, "Madonna has thrown herself into a busy social life and has been seeing her friends and family after the split." They added, "She has a packed schedule, working on her upcoming biopic, new music and looking after her family." The source also threw light on the ex-pair's dynamic. "Things have been on and off with Ahlamalik for a while. There’s a lot of love but for now they have decided to separate. They are still on good terms and there are no hard feelings but they are at different places with their lives."

They went on to say, "They spent months together on tour and in lockdown, but now he has moved out of her home. With them both working on other things, it was hard to keep their romance alight.”

When Madonna's team was asked to comment on her status, they did not respond. During their time together, Madonna helped Ahlamalik close a deal with the fashion designer Stella McCartney, 50. Moreover, she collaborated with him on a song in order to help him launch his own career in the music industry. 

The two met in 2015, when Ahlamalik was dancing on Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' tour. In 2019, when it was revealed that they were together, William's father, Drue, 61, said he fully supported the relationship despite the age gap. His exact words were, "She told us she is so much in love with him and that we didn’t have anything to worry about as she was going to take care of him. We know there’s a huge age gap between the two. Madonna is two years older than me. I asked him how he feels about her and he says he has never been happier.”

The news elicited various opinions on Twitter. One user said, "Breakup music coming!!! I hope"

Another said, "all over madonna… like did u have a breakup while listening to hung up or what she do"

Another user quipped, "And the fact she had to wake him up for school every morning."
