Madonna, 50, and Jesus Luz, 22, have been an on-again-off-again to back-on item and now the couple are planning a "commitment ceremony" in New York. Why? Is Madonna hoping this will help in her bid to adopt Mercy?
According to sources, Madonna and Jesus will take part in a service in front of a rabbi at the Kabbalah Center in Manhatten. Jesus has already converted from Catholicism to Kabbalah to show Madonna he's serious about their relationship.
A source said, "They are totally besotted with each other and he’s really helped Madonna through this tough time.
"It wasn’t that the relationship went off the boil, it was more a matter of Madonna wanting to concentrate on her adoption bid of Mercy and they wanted to keep a low profile while that became the main focus.
"Madonna was devastated when the adoption was rejected the first time but now she wants to lavish some attention on Jesus and she’s keen to make sure they have a solid relationship for all the children’s sakes."
Pals say Madonna's children - Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3 - have accepted Jesus.
The source added, "Lourdes mocks him by calling him The Babysitter, because he is so young. She likes him, but also likes winding him up."
Does Madonna believe this commitment ceremony with Jesus will help her appeal to adopt Mercy? The man claiming to be Mercy's dad, James Kambewa, has questioned the pop star's morality. He said:
"I don't think Madonna is a model mum. I have seen her in movies of her songs. She doesn't portray good morals.
"How can a woman of 50 dance almost naked on stage? I wouldn't want my daughter to grow up like that! In Malawi women respect themselves. Cultured women do not go about half-naked.
"I also heard after her marriage failed she is already seeing two men, both very younger than her and her ex-husband. I hear one of them is even less than half her age.
"That's scandalous. How can a normal woman fall for a boy who can as well be her son? No, spare my Mercy that scandal."
I'm not sure if this will help or harm Madonna's quest for Mercy. It sort of creeps me out that she likes such a young guy - maybe because I have a 22-year-old son and can't ever imagine being attracted to someone that young!
