Madonna, 67, keeps a very low profile as she blends into the crowd with her toy boy lover Akeem Morris, 29, to support Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Madonna kept a very low profile as she joined her toy boy lover Akeem Morris to watch Chelsea vs Liverpool at Stamford Bridge stadium on Saturday. 

The Queen of Pop, 67, blended into the crowd alongside her partner, 29, as they supported their London football team who came out victorious with a 2-1 win. 

Ditching her usual glam appearance and eye-catching outfits, Madonna appeared bare-faced as she sunk into the stadium seats in a black winter coat. 

Akeem also dressed for the autumn weather as he wrapped up next to her.

It isn’t the first time the pair have attended the football together after they cheered on Chelsea back in October 2024. 

The duo were first romantically linked in July 2024, when the recording artist shared photos of them celebrating Independence Day in the Big Apple. 

But they’ve known each other since at least August 2022, when they posed alongside each other for a Paper magazine cover. 

Their outing comes after she confirmed that she suffered from a life-threatening disease that left her in intensive care for four days. 

Madonna was rushed to hospital with a bacterial infection in mid-2023 and her world tour was paused.

She took to her social media at the time to tell fans she was on the road to recovery and had been released from hospital. 

Now two years on, in her first podcast appearance, Madonna has revealed she came down with an infection which turned into sepsis and she spent four days in intensive care on a ventilator.   

Speaking on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, Madonna said: ‘I was rehearsing for a tour, and I got a bacterial infection. 

‘One minute I was alive and dancing around, and the next minute I was in the ICU, unconscious for four days. I got out of hospital, they took me off the ventilator, I started to breathe on my own, and I had something called sepsis, and it can kill you.

‘Everybody recovers at a different rate, and I’ve always seen myself as Superwoman. 

‘So I was like “Oh I’m going to kick this. I’m going to be good, I’m getting back into rehearsal” but I had no strength, no energy, couldn’t get out of bed, and I didn’t know when it was gonna end.’

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused when the body releases chemicals to fight an infection.

These chemicals damage the body’s own tissues and organs and can lead to shock, organ failure and death.

Organ failure and death are more likely if sepsis is not recognised early and treated immediately.

Madonna said back in 2023 she was on the road to recovery and said she planned to reschedule her Celebration Tour for later in the year year.

She wrote at the time: ‘Thank you for your positive energy. Prayers and words of healing and encouragement. I have felt your love.

‘I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings.

‘My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour.

‘I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.

‘My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I assure you I’ll be back with you as soon as I can

‘My current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe.

‘I couldn’t be more grateful for your care and support. Love, M.’

Madonna’s first marriage was to Sean Penn from 1985 to 1989.

Although they had an infamously tempestuous romance, they have become firm friends since.

She was then married to Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie from 2000 until 2008, during which time they welcomed Rocco and David Banda.

She welcomed her daughter Lourdes aka Lola Leon, 28, with fitness trainer Carlos Leon, and then her son Rocco Ritchie, 25, with her ex-husband Guy.

Madonna has also adopted four children from Malawi – son David, daughter Mercy, and twins Stella and Estere.
