Madonna 'only planned fling with Jesus Luz'

Madonna originally only planned to have a fling with boyfriend Jesus Luz when they first started dating, according to reports.

However, the 'Celebration' star's relationship with the 22-year-old model is now said to be so serious that the couple plan to marry in a Kabbalah ceremony later this year.

A friend of the singer told Hello: "When Madonna and Jesus were just dating - back when she thought it was a fling - she was okay with [the age gap]. But when she realised she was starting to have feelings for him, she started to become self-conscious about the relationship.

"'I don't want my family to think I'm having a midlife crisis,' she told me. 'And my friends, too. I don't want people to think I have lost my mind'.

"As her feelings for Jesus intensified, she began to accept that, yes, maybe he was a consequence of a midlife crisis - and so what? Or, as she put it to me, 'I think I deserve a midlife crisis after all I've been through with the divorce from Guy. I deserve to have a good time, too. And I deserve someone hot, like Jesus'."
