Devastated Madonna shows the strain after brother’s death on Kabbalah visit with young lover
Madonna spent time at a Kabbalah center with boyfriend Akeem Morris in New York City this weekend.
The 66-year-old music legend seemed to lean on her boyfriend and her faith in the aftermath of her brother Christopher Ciccone’s death from pancreatic cancer at the age of 63.
Kabbalah is a “part of the Jewish tradition that deals with the essence of God,” according to Reform Judaism.
The lifelong music artist was dressed in all black as she pulled the collar of her bomber jacket over the lower part of her face.
Her eyes were covered by dark sunglasses and her wavy, bright blonde hair was parted in the middle.
A week ago, Madonna took to Instagram to pay tribute to her younger sibling, writing, “My brother Christopher is gone. He was the person closest to me for so long. It’s hard to explain our bond.’

Akeem, 28, wore a monochrome ivory outfit and a brown trucker hat and the couple were escorted by security personnel.
The Like A Prayer singer and friend climbed into the seat of the car with other passengers.
She and her boy toy first bonded romantically in July when she shared photos of them celebrating Independence Day in the Big Apple.
They have known each other since at least August 2022, when they posed next to each other for a cover of Paper magazine.
In her heartbreaking dedication to her brother, Madonna continued, “We have reached the highest heights together. And floundered in the lowest of lows.
“Somehow we always found each other and held hands and kept dancing.”
Giving her nearly 20 million followers a glimpse into their relationship, she added: “The last few years haven’t been easy. We haven’t spoken to each other for a while, but when my brother got sick, we found each other again.’
In a final gesture to her loved one, she said, “I did my best to keep him alive as long as possible.”

In addition to Christopher, the singer also has siblings Anthony, Martin, Paula and Melanie from her parents’ marriage – Silvio and Madonna Ciccone.
Madonna’s mother, who shares her namesake, died of breast cancer in 1963 at the age of 30. After his wife’s death, her father, who is 93, remarried and welcomed children Jennifer and Mario with his second wife.
The Material Girl hitmaker wrote of her late brother: ‘He was in so much pain towards the end. We held hands again. We closed our eyes and we danced. Together. I’m glad he’s not suffering anymore.
‘There will never be anyone like him. I know he’s dancing somewhere.’
