Madonna Stuns With Makeup-Free Hanukkah Selfies With Boyfriend Akeem Morris and Kids

Madonna shared a makeup-free moment from Hanukkah celebrations, posting selfies to Instagram Stories on Saturday that showcased a radiant, minimal makeup look. The 67-year-old pop icon was photographed in a light brown satin ensemble with white lace details, her blonde hair styled in soft curls as she celebrated the holiday with loved ones. In one image she left a simple caption on the frame, inscribing the word Insomniac......... beside the scene.

A separate image in the set captured Madonna celebrating the seventh night of Hanukkah with what appeared to be her youngest daughters and her boyfriend, Akeem Morris, a 29-year-old Jamaican soccer player who has become a visible part of her circle in recent years. Morris could be seen smiling as he joined a long family table for a holiday meal, accompanied by members of Madonna’s family and the man she has been dating since 2022.

The star has six children, including Lourdes, 29, whom she shares with ex Carlos Leon, and Rocco, 25, her son with ex Guy Ritchie. She is also mother to David, 20; Mercy, 19; and twins Stella and Estere, 13. The Hanukkah photographs add to a long-running pattern in which Madonna has used social media to share moments from her personal life, including glimpses of aging in the public eye and discussion of continuing to work at a high level.

Morris’s presence in Madonna’s life has evolved since they first connected during a 2022 Paper Magazine shoot. The couple began appearing together on her social feeds in the years that followed, with Morris showing up in posts ranging from fireworks displays on the Fourth of July to more casual outings. In November, the pair were seen arriving at JFK Airport in New York City, with Madonna pairing ripped sweatpants, a white shirt and a long black puffer coat, while Morris dressed in an all-black ensemble and a hat. That sighting underscored the couple’s ongoing public presence after a period of quieter appearances.

Behind the scenes, Madonna has continued to chart a busy creative path. In November she returned to the recording studio with longtime collaborator Stuart Price, a sign of ongoing musical activity. She has also been linked to work on a sequel album to her 2005 Confessions on a Dance Floor, which is slated for release next year. The project has been described in industry chatter as a focal point of her upcoming musical agenda, signaling that she remains deeply engaged in both performance and recording.

The musical icon has long spoken about aging in an industry that often prizes youth. In a 2021 interview with V Magazine, she discussed the challenges and the realities of performing beyond a certain age, noting that some peers do not perform at the same level. She also emphasized resilience, saying she does not think about age in the way others might and that she would continue to perform if her body allowed. When reflecting on past tours and physical strain, she recalled performing through pain in pursuit of the art she loves, illustrating a mindset of perseverance rather than retreat.

Her comments on aging have been tied to broader conversations about gender equality in the workplace. Madonna has repeatedly asserted that women now occupy broader roles in entertainment and beyond, stressing the importance of staying curious and physically active as part of maintaining a long, creative career. Those themes have often framed her public persona as she continues to push boundaries in music, fashion, and media.

As she balances motherhood with an ongoing artistic output, Madonna’s relationship with Morris remains a notable throughline in her public narrative. The couple’s visibility—spanning red-carpet-like moments to intimate family occasions—comes alongside the launch of new music projects and ongoing touring or performance plans that keep the icon at the center of pop culture conversations. The Hanukkah posts, in particular, highlight the personal dimension of a star who has spent decades shaping the cultural conversation, both through her evolving sound and through a very public life that includes family, romance, and a continuous reinvention of her artistic identity.
