Madonna has reportedly split from her toyboy boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams after three years of dating.
The singer, 63, is said to have found it "hard to keep their romance alight" with her 28-year-old because she is so busy with work.
Madonna began dating Ahlamalik in 2019, four years after meeting him on her Rebel Heart tour. At the time, he was one of the dancers on tour with her.
A source told The Sun: "Madonna has thrown herself into a busy social life and has been seeing her friends and family after the split.
"She has a packed schedule, working on her upcoming biopic, new music and looking after her family, things have been on and off with Ahlamalik for a while. There’s a lot of love but for now they have decided to separate.
“They are still on good terms and there are no hard feelings but they are at different places with their lives, they spent months together on tour and in lockdown, but now he has moved out of her home."
Mirror Online has contacted Madonna's representatives for comment.
During their low-profile relationship, she helped him land a deal with Stella McCartney. He even attempted to launch his own music career with the help of his girlfriend.
His father previously talked about their relationship and said he believed that she will 'help produce his music'.

He told The Sun at the time: "I believe too, in my heart of hearts, that she will help produce his music once this tour is over.
“She’s going to stick with him because of the talent he has."
His dad, Drue, even gave his blessing to the couple and said he is 'happy for them'.
As well as a dancer, Ahlamalik is a songwriter, too.
Although the couple don't share too many pictures of each other on their social media, they have been pictured in public enjoying their time together.
From being papped riding bikes in the city to being spotted on a hotel balcony in Miami, fans got to see glimpses of their relationship over the years.
In 2021, Madonna, Ahlamalik and all six of her kids enjoyed a getaway to Italy to celebrate her 63rd birthday.
She posted many photos of him during their holiday and received many comments from her 17.9 million followers.
Meanwhile, he last posted a picture of her in August 2021 in order to wish her a happy birthday.
The dancer wrote alongside a picture of them holding hands and walking away from the camera: "Happy circle round the galaxy day Home skillet."
Madonna was previously married to Guy Ritchie but they divorced in 2008.
