Madonna and her 25-year-old dancer beau Ahlamalik Williams are going strong.
Ahlamalik's father Drue, 59, has dished on Madonna's relationship with his son and told how the 61-year-old singer 'unconditionally loves' his son and 'wants to take care of him.'
According to TMZ Drue says the hitmaker told him and his wife, Laurrie, 55, that she loves their son unconditionally and wants to take care of him.
He added to the news outlet: "Love has no age."
"My son is livin' la Vida Loca, and I'm just happy for him."
Madonna recently invited Ahlamalik's parents at one of her Ceasar's Palace shows.
After her performance she invited the family to her suite and treated them to dinner cooked by a personal chef.
The star has since asked them to come to her shows in London and France in early 2020.
It comes after Williams' father told The Mirror that the Queen of Pop first spotted America’s Got Talent contestant Ahlamalik in 2015 after he landed a lead role as Michael Jackson in a Las Vegas tribute show.
The show’s production manager Jamie King was also involved in Madonna’s 2015 Rebel Heart tour.
“She saw videos of Ahlamalik dancing and was intrigued,” said Drue. “She told Jamie King she wanted him on the tour.
“We think she recognised his charisma and creativity. His swag. He stands out.
“He got the news he was going to join her tour on his birthday in April 2015. I think they have been dating for a year and got serious at the start of this latest tour, the Madame X tour.”

Drue and Laurie, who works in a Las Vegas legal office, met their son’s new girlfriend in New York in September at the Howard Gilman Opera House a few weeks into her Madame X tour.
And they met up again after another recent gig, where Ahlamalik also got friendly with Madonna’s ex-husband Sean.
Drue said: “When we met Madonna I told her we have always been fans. I’ve always liked her ex Sean as an actor, so it’s crazy Ahlamalik met him at the same after show party."
“He’s also met all Madonna’s kids and they get on well.”
“I believe Madonna has prepared him for her A-list world, that it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride. He doesn’t get star struck though.”

“He treats Madonna with the respect she deserves, but he isn’t overawed.”
“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.”
