Madonna is now open to aging gracefully after recently turning 67, and this is reportedly because of her much younger boyfriend, Akeem Morris.
It is understood that the 29-year-old has convinced her that she doesn’t need any implants and fillers that she has mostly used in the past to enhance her beauty.
Madonna was seen cozying up to Akeem Morris during her birthday celebration last week, during which she looked ravishing in a semi-sheer pink corset.

The Singer Previously Came Under Fire For Her Appearance

Is Akeem Morris The Queen Of Pop’s Mr. Right?

Speculations are already rife about the longevity of Madonna and Morris’s relationship, but the insider went on to suggest that he may just be her Mr. Right for now, rather than forever.

It’s about companionship, and that’s what she needs more than anything else,” the insider shared. “She’s described to me how she doesn’t need a toyboy ā this isn’t a cougar fantasy ā but she wants someone to be with her at midnight when she can’t sleep. And that is Akeem.”
