The post, features the duo in a relaxed and affectionate moment, with Akeem hugging Madonna from behind, reigniting conversations about their relationship. Morris’s declaration has caused more scrutiny over the couple’s significant age difference and allegations from his former partner, who accused him of cheating on her with Madonna.

Fans have taken to social media to weigh in. Some laud Morris for publicly showing his commitment to the Like A Virgin crooner, while others questioned the authenticity of his statement, citing the ongoing scepticism surrounding his motives.

“Him look happy,” commented one supporter online. Others were less convinced, with one commenter writing, “This is still so weird to me!”

Madonna, 66, has not commented on Morris’s post but continues to share glimpses of her life on Instagram, often featuring moments that include Morris. Known for her history of relationships with younger men, Madonna has remained unapologetic about her personal life despite frequent public scrutiny.

As the romance rumours and both remain tight-lipped about the genre of their relationship, the footballer’s loud statement appears to affirm his loyalty.

It’s uncertain whether this will ease Madonna’s inner circle and fans’ concerns about Morris’s intentions.
