World-renowned musical sensation Madonna, 65, is revered in the entertainment industry and globally as the Queen of Pop. Throughout her illustrious career, she has racked up formidable achievements and accolades that some artists spend a lifetime trying to achieve.
Apart from her unparalleled success as an iconic musician, the "Like a Prayer" singer is a doting mom of six. She is the mom of Lourdes Leon, Rocco Ritchie, David Ritchie, Mercy Ciccone, and twins Estere and Stella Ciccone.

As far as her personal life is concerned, Madonna is well known for her boisterous and eccentric personality, which has seen her live her life quite confidently as she chooses, like reportedly dating a younger man. Josh Popper, her reported boyfriend, was born in 1993 and has been spotted several times with the pop diva.
According to a media outlet, Josh and Madonna met at his boxing studio when he was training her son, David. They made their social media debut in February this year, and since then, Madonna has been seen supporting him at his boxing matches. However, neither has publicly spoken about their romance.

The recent images of Madonna came after being hospitalized earlier this year for a severe bacterial infection, which saw her spend some days in the ICU and postpone her world tour. The picture shared from her Instagram Live left fans shocked by what they saw.
Visually, the star's facial features looked remarkably different than how her fans were used to seeing her. Instead of her usually prominent, chiseled cheekbones, her face appeared plumper and fuller, and of particular concern to fans were her lips:
"Her lips look painful."
