It’s been well over a year since we’ve heard any rumors of an engagement between Madonna and her 25-year-old boytoy, Brahim Zaibat. Thanks to CB, the guy’s last name will always remind me of “jailbait.” These two crazy kids have been dating (or rather, living together) for nearly three years, and we’ve learned how Brahim hilariously wanted to “make an honest woman” out of Madge. Yet she’s always shot down his proposals.
There seems to have been a shift in their relationship lately. Madonna actually let Brahim escort her to the Met Gala! Remember, she used to keep him under wraps for big events. We’d see pics of Brahim dancing onstage with her, and they’d go clubbing and play grab ass on family vacations. The Met Gala is a pretty big deal, so it says something that Madge let Brahim play with the big kids. Now In Touch is saying that Madonna is actually referring to Brahim as her fiancé. Is it true?
Is Madonna engaged?!
An eyewitness tells the new issue of In Touch that Madonna introduced her 25-year-old boyfriend of two years, Brahim Zaibat, as her fiancé at an Sept. 4 Rosh Hashanah service at the Kabbalah Centre in NYC.
And the singer wasn’t shy to introduce Zaibat as her new fiancé in front of her kids and other guests. “She looked so happy and didn’t try to keep it a secret,” the witness tells In Touch. “It was like she wanted everyone to know she was going to marry this man.”
Madonna and Zaibat have attended numerous services at the Kabbalah Centre together, but this is the first she has introduced him as more than her boyfriend.

Gossip Cop has already shot down this story as false, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. I think if they do get married, they’ll elope. By the way, Brahim signed onto the new season of the French version of DWTS. It would surprise me if Madonna hasn’t thought of putting a ring on it so he didn’t roam too far in the process.
Interestingly enough, Brahim just did a new interview with RTL France in which he talks quite a lot about Madonna. Among other things, he said, “She’s not a monster … she’s a normal woman … I respect her … She’s a machine … My life hasn’t changed.” Perhaps there was something lost in translation, but this guy sounds like a pretty, dim bulb. At least he’s not still droning on about his amazing talent.

Madonna is starting to look pathetic. The Original Try Hard.
Starting to?
I’ll take her any day over Squirrell McTwerk .
+1!
I was wondering to myself if Madonna’s younger shocking behaviour was as stupid as Miley’s and I’d still give Madge the credit and Miley the boot!
She’s not a monster, she’s a machine. Glad that’s cleared up, then.
Thank God he enlightened us. I’ve been confused about that for years.
His life hasn’t changed? Right.
Lol I know right? I wanna read the full interview, what kind of questions prompted those strange answers?
all that wig needs is a chin strap
That is funny!
+1 good one!
I love Madonna and everything but her face is freaking me out. Cher’s had a tremendous amount of cosmetic work done to her face too but she doesn’t look half as scary as Madonna does. As for an engagement to Brahim I don’t think so. At least I hope not.
Really? I feel Cher looks way scarier but she looks happier maybe. I don’t think Madonna’s “work” was bad, it’s her cold facial expressions that ruin it.
The first thing you say about your fiancé is “she’s not a monster”, perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate your life choices.
Holy plastic face.
Not of your fiancé has a net worth of $600 million.
I think SHE is the one who has the power to make HIM honest here.
Lol I must have missed that pic at the gala. Who’s the dude beside them?
Whoever he is, I think he’s much hotter than Baby Brahim.
Well, say what you will but Madonna is still breaking down barriers making sure what’s good for the guys is good for the gals. Except this bit of equality we could do without.
The 50+ guys we see constantly dating the barely in their 20s girls and rolling our eyes over is the same in this case. I don’t think it has anything to do with the empowerment of women. Yeah, yeah you can’t help who you fall in love with but that’s rarely said about the old guy/girl deals so I’m skeptical here too.
Yes, Madonna you should marry him right away, it is true love! Ignore the fact that you are twice his age and look like his mom when you are together. His love has nothing to do with all your money and getting to be in the spotlight. Noooooo…… marry him now!!!
I really do see this whole issue ending very badly for Madonna.
And it’s not the age thing. I can not believe she would marry a man, who she has on the payroll as an employee.
But then again, she is Queen of Try-Hard. So I guess she will marry him. If it means her new tight face, will be on the cover of People. Alone.
Because we all know, Madonna will not share that front cover with anyone!
New husband better be prepare to stand there and look pretty. While holding her purse. 🙂
Only a few days ago Patrick Stewart (73) married his fiancee (35), and everyone rejoiced and congratulated
Today Madonna (53) may become engaged to a 25 years old man , and all dripping with venom and sarcasm- why?
I think it’s because Patrick has such a sense of humor about himself.
WORD.
hahahaha
@tamara: Cannot agree more!!
And they always will find some reasons to defend the older guys doing it ” he’s talented”, “he is a legend”, “he is young at heart” … blablabla but fact is when a woman does it she is ridiculed and ripped to pieces…
Well let say “she is a legend”, “she is a talented entertainer” and she definitely “is young at heart”, so as the old dudes she can get some!
(I don’t care if it’s Madonna)
THANK YOU!
This. And I wonder how much of it is jealousy.
I don’t know, I saw quite a few posters questioning it and saying gross on PStew’s page. I think with Madonna it’s more scathing because she’s not well liked. And with patrick it’s questioned and people are like ewww but less scathing because he is well liked. What I’m wondering is why do people get up in arms about it either way. I mean they were dating, but the minute someone decided to put a ring on it THAT’S when it becomes creepy and weird?
At least with Johnny Depp people are slamming him for his age difference.
Generally, as long as everyone involved is legal, and not just barely legal–then I have no problems with it. Your life, yolo.
I criticize Johnny because he is with someone who can’t act, is going around talking about how she’s such an ARTISTE, when all she is to film is #298098765322467890098766 HOTBLONDEWITHBIGBOOBS….that’s it. She is “The Girl”–but on a really budget level. If she had no problem with that, then I’d be cool with her–especially since she’d know her limitations. So what I get from her, is that she thinks she’s on Johnny’s level because they did a movie together—um, nooooooo.
But this is who he chose. I have no problems with her being a little over half his age–she’s the one who has to sleep with him, not me. But she’s arrogant JUST because of who she’s sleeping with. That’s what I don’t get about her.
Patrick, I don’t know much about. He seems awesome, and it’s not like his wife works with him or for him (that I know of) or that she’s some twenty something. I wouldn’t marry a 70-something….maybe I haven’t met any awesome ones yet, but…
I don’t have any issues with Madonna marrying this guy (even though he does seem kind of dumb), but I think it has more to do with Madonna onstage antics–the costumes, the really awful plastic surgery–she doesn’t seem to want to be her age and still be sexy. But whateves..
YOLO.
Tamara — I think it is the perception of the person. Madonna grates people the wrong way sometimes.
If Helen Mirren had a young thing there would be no venom.
Linda Evans dated much younger Yanni for 9 years and there was no venom.
Joan Collins is married to a much younger man BS there is no venom.
It is not just women in general, it is how the woman is perceived by people, regardless how accurate the perception matches how she is in real life.
I think Madonna and her antics are tiresome. I haven’t commented about her younger guy, but perhaps the negative comments are based more on the fact that people don’t like HER, and therefore they will critique. A lot of people love Patrick Stewart, therefore they will not critique his actions.
I don’t know if it is sexism rather than favoritism.
Damn he looks like a toddler. 🙁 yuk!
After two failed marriages,I would like to think that Madonna would have enough sense not to marry someone this young. I love Madonna and I’m a fan, but she is really moving into Hugh Hefner territory.
No. She has said in the past year she would marry again and that she is in love. She will marry him, and I give it max ten years. Sadly, dating Jesus and then him I think has made her go overboard with plastic surgery and trying to be down with the young ones. If she was with a successful man in his early forties even I think her head would be in a different place than picking up with guys in their early twenties when she meets them.
ITA
Jayna — maybe after both husbands and their very strong personalities, maybe she just wants pleasant compliance.
I don’t see her marrying this one and if she happens to marry him it sure as hell ain’t gonna last 10 years.
Madonna is a strong personality and she needs to be challenged. She needs to be with a man who is prepared to walk away from her if she starts with her drama antics.
This guy ain’t that.
In a worl where Patrick Stewart get the accolades for marrying a woman that can be his grandkid and where Clint eatswood well into his 80’s is still consiedered a stud by bedding women in their early forties….
In a world where neither of these two old men wife/ girlfriend are considered young enough or just young…
In that world I have no problem AT ALL with Madonna marrying someone way much younger and I wouldn’t even think of calling it pathetic…
One world. One rule.
I think a 73 yr old marrying a 35yr is just as gross and creepy as a 55yr old Madonna being “engaged” to a 25 yr old. No double standards here. However, at the end of the day, everyone is an adult and if there is genuine love and affection there, Why not?
Actually that was exactly my point.
But if you,indeed, do not apply a double standard at all, unfortunately it is applied by well… let’s read the comments on the Patrick Steward thread and let compare them to this one’s…well that.
If that were my 25yr old son… I’d be freaking out! However, it’s a double standard for women. I don’t care what year were in, the first thing that hits us in the age disparity, is kids. Older man, younger woman it’s doable, not the other way around.
It’s doable for older men only because we (women) tolerate it and don’t trash them for doing it.
And other men give them accolades
Well it’s harder for women… well because comment like yours, reinforcing ageism on women and being harsh on some behaviour you clearly support as normal for men.
It’s harder for women because WOMEN trash them in a very diminutive way. That’s why!
Not true at all. You seem to have the assumption that everyone wants kids, first of all, which is completely and utterly false. Second, women don’t lose all fertility as soon as they hit thirty or something. Third, there’s this thing called “adoption”.
The double standard does not have any legitimate reason for existing.
When a gay couple gets married, there is no guarantee of “kids”. When any two people past child-bearing years get married, there also is not a question of “kids”. Even when two young straight people get married, there could be a fertility issue. People get married for different reasons, but the main reason is for a loving partner. There are no guarantees for the bearing of offspring in any partnership. I find Madonna cringe-worthy these days with her try-hard ways, but I don’t agree on this “double standard” regarding it being okay for men to marry much younger but women can’t, shouldn’t, or it “won’t work out”.
he looks like a 10 year old
Madonna has just realized she needs to get in the news, as all this attention on Miley is killing her. Of course there is a ‘leaked’ story in engagement. and there will be other stories in the coming weeks. This is not really about wanting to marry her boy toy, this is about Madonna being ignored.
Madonna will not be ignore! you hear that, Paparazzi!?
🙂
Dear God is the Brahim dude wearing a damn skirt in the first picture? With legs that cute i will marry him, back off madget.
I didn’t even realize these two were still together.
If they do get married, I hope it doesn’t increase his status in her business. Keep him a backup dancer. But honestly I think this is nonsense. Madonna’s been married plenty before and it does not work for her. Having fun with a beautiful boytoy does work for her, so she needs to keep doing that.
I so wish that we could have seen her age gracefully. She had such an interesting looking face when she was younger and she had to cut herself all up and put in those stupid cutlets. I actually think she looks good in that suit outfit.
I saw this Met Gala picture before but didn’t pay attention to the details. Now I see that Madonna and Brahim each was holding mini flags of Palestine and Israel, respectively. That is really interesting. I wonder if those flags were given, or whether they had brought them themselves. If the latter, that was a message and brought new perspective on Madonna. Has she ever mentioned any political message before?
ETA: Eh yes, she apparently has. The latest one is a message for the US government to stay out of Syria.
Madonna looks so much better and younger with dark hair.
Shes not a monster…shes a machine…a CASH machine!!!
Exactly. Cash machine
Less competition of ego in dating youngsters. She had a tumultuous marriage with a known emotional abuser (Penn). I also noticed (after watching a documentary about her) how nervous and self-conscious she acted around Ritchie during public events/interviews. Younger men are probably more emotionally or intellectually malleable than the established egos of Penn and Ritchie.
Madonna is a business woman and an entertainer, but never struck me as an intellectual. I don’t think a dim bulb of a man (or person) is necessarily a bad thing or a bad match. I’d suspect in large part that’s why this relationship works. They have sex, meals and probably shop and dance together. A lot of relationships sustain themselves in such simplicity.
Madonna has always been attracted to one of two types.
Brahim fits one of these exactly. He’s a young, hot-bodied Latino. Madonna has dated a lot of such guys, and she even had a kid with one.
And all the other guys she’s dated–and these were the minority, but they did include the two guys she married–were successful men associated with the acting profession.
Madonna very much wanted an acting career and was never good enough to have one.
I think she married the guys who were what she aspired to be. She married Sean Penn and dated Warren Beatty because she wanted to be an actor. She married Guy Ritchie because she had upgraded her aspirations to include directing as well as acting.
But I think guys like Brahim are her natural type. Maybe she’s finally finding some peace with herself?
Brahim is French not Latin. Not sure what “natural type ” means. If guys like Brahim were her “natural type” she wouldn’t have spent years hung up on Sean Penn. Madonna has dated some of everybody, actors, musicians, athletes. You name it she’s dated them. I suspect she likes some of these younger men because she can dominate them and call the shots. I don’t think she was calling the shots with either Penn and Ritchie.
She’s so gross now!! Trying too hard to keep up with the young crowd.
It’s 2 am and I’m too tired to translate, but to be fair to him there is a huge difference between the french itv and the translation… 🙂
Why “finally”? Because you can’t date someone for years without getting married? How archaic. The kyriarchy is strong with this website. Writers and commenters alike. Enjoy your brainwashing!
I really really hate that the former Queen of all things Cool has now become the Queen of Uncool. She is just pathetic at this point. I really can’t stand pretty much anything about her anymore. And 30 years ago I was obsessed with her.
pathetic, sad, and…*yawn*
YUKK!
She and J-Lo look ridiculous with these children!
