Madonna Celebrates 66th Birthday with Rumored Boyfriend and Kids in Italy: See Photos

Madonna is living “la dolce vita” in Italy!

In celebration of her 66th birthday on Aug. 16, the pop icon jetted off to Italy and marked the special occasion with her family, friends and rumored boyfriend Akeem Morris. 

The “Like a Virgin” singer offered an inside look at the celebratory activities she got up to in a carousel of 20 photos on Instagram. “La Dolce Vita,” she captioned the post on Monday, Aug. 19. alongside birthday cake, champagne, heart and Italian flag emojis.

Included in the mix of photos were shots from her visit to Pompei, Italy where she attended an event at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii. She spent the evening with members involved in a project called Sogno di Volare, or “I Dream of Flying,” which allows local youth to act in classical performances at the park’s ancient theater. 

The project was funded by Madonna’s Ray of Light Foundation and will continue to be supported by her in its next season, according to a press release from the park. 

Also included in her birthday post were scenes of the ancient ruins and historic venue where the event was held. Other shots show her walking hand in hand with Morris as she dons a white gown and gold jewelry. 

Another image taken from above shows the entire theater and a long, curved table with guests seated at every chair in the center. A close-up shot reveals a glimpse of the lavish tablescape as Madonna is seated next to Morris. 

The singer and the Jamaican-born soccer player were first linked in August 2022 when they posed together for her Paper Magazine cover shoot. The two weren’t seen together again until two years later when she shared photos of them looking cozy on the Fourth of July in 2024, sparking dating rumors.  

In the last slide of her post, the star poses with all six of her children at the event, including her sons Rocco, 24, and David, 18, as well as daughters Lourdes, 27, Mercy, 18, and twins Stella and Estere, both 11. 

Along with spending time in Pompei, Madonna showed off some of the waterfront views she enjoyed while celebrating Rocco’s birthday. The singer’s oldest son, whose father is Guy Ritchie, celebrated turning 24 four days before his mom, on Aug. 11. 

One shot shows Rocco with his arm wrapped around his moms as they stare down at the massive cake adorned with fruit, powdered sugar, candles and a message written in icing that reads, “Happy Birthday Rocco.”

The “Material Girl” singer made sure to snap a photo in her floral ensemble while posing by the balcony that same night.

Madonna also enjoyed a stay at the luxurious Villa TreVille resort in Positano during her trip. The five-star hotel is the same accommodation that Jennifer Lopez booked earlier this summer for her Italy getaway.

The luxe destination, where rooms typically cost upwards of $2,000 per night, is nestled on the Amalfi Coast and overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea.
