Madonna’s new toyboy lover’s parents reveal she is older than they are and they’re huge fans despite the 36 year age gap
THE parents of Madonna's new toyboy lover have revealed that she is older than they are - but they support the romance despite the 36-year age gap.
Earlier this month, the 61-year-old star was seen cuddling up to 25-year-old backup dancer Ahlamalik Williams on a balcony in Miami.
The pair have been dating for a year now, and his parents have revealed that Madge plans to make things more serious when she finishes her Madame X tour next year.
Both Ahlamalik's mum Laurie, 55, and dad Drue, 59, are younger than the music icon but are backing the pair to get married.
Drue told the: "She told us she is so much in love with him and that we didn’t have anything to worry about as she was going to take care of him.
"We know there’s a huge age gap between the two – 36 years. Madonna is two years older than me.
"But I have told my son love doesn’t have an age range when you’re consenting adults."
Laurie added that while they don't want their son to get "hurt" by the A-list diva, they think the lovebirds are a strong match thanks to Ahlamalik's talent.
She told the publication: "We met her after a show and it was incredible.
"The first thing she said to me was: 'Wasn’t he fantastic?'
"You never know, they could get married.
Madonna first met Ahlamalik five years ago and he has been a dancer on two of her tours after he caught her eye as the lead role in a Michael Jackson Las Vegas tribute show.
He is also well-acquainted with her six children, with 23-year-old Lourdes spotted on the balcony while he and Madonna were getting cosy.
Drue revealed that while Ahlamalik had a girlfriend when he first met the star, they split when she became jealous of his blossoming relationship with Madonna.
He said: "They had an argument about how things were going with him and Madonna."

"I think she likes that. And he’s humble but he speaks his mind and knows what he’s talking about. I think that’s also why she loves him so much."
