Popper shared a photo on his account with his arm around the pop star, flanked by three friends as they posed outside a boxing ring.
Another W for the books!! gushed the upstart boxer, who added: “I want to thank my trainers, my team and my Bredwinners family for pushing me to be my best in and out of the ring.” I have some good people by my side.
But when curious fans took to the comments to ask about Madonna, Popper didn’t respond.
Unlike his superstar girlfriend, Popper enjoys a relatively low-key life.
He was once a promising defensive lineman at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, graduating in 2015. He later tried out for two NFL teams but failed to make the cut.

The Like a Prayer hitmaker, who is grieving the loss of her brother Anthony Ciccone, has reportedly been experiencing a ‘crisis of confidence’ following recent ‘ageist and misogynistic’ criticism of her appearance last month.
Her self-esteem is said to have been shaken by haters who took to social media to say she looked unrecognizable at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
In response to the backlash, the mother-of-six explained that her face was distorted during the show and looked more swollen due to a ‘long lens camera’.
“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in,” she wrote on her Instagram story.
Madonna complained that she lived in a “world that refuses to celebrate women over 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong, hard-working and adventurous.” [sic].’
He continued, declaring that he wasn’t going to start apologizing for “any of the creative choices I’ve made or the way I look or dress and I’m not going to start.”
The megastar said she’s been ‘demeaned’ since she rose to fame in the early 1980s, ‘I understand this is all a test and I’m happy to be a trailblazer so all the women behind me can have a longer time. easy in the next few years.’
Earlier this week, she apparently admitted to getting plastic surgery in a candid new post while gushing about ‘how cute’ she looked after the ‘swelling from the surgery’ had ‘gone down’.
Moving on: Madonna and her model boyfriend Andrew Darnell, who is 41 years her junior, have split after less than a year of dating.
Rough month: The Material Girl is reportedly experiencing a “crisis of confidence” after her brother’s death, their recent breakup, and criticism of her appearance.
Still, he did not reveal precisely what procedure he had or when he underwent surgery.
In addition to facing scrutiny over his appearance and the end of their relationship, his highly anticipated biopic, starring Julia Garner, was scrapped at the end of January.
The US Sun reports that the biopic, which was greenlit in 2020, has been shelved due in part to Madonna’s insistence on having “near total” control of the process in addition to her bizarre “circus antics” on social media.
The decision followed his announcement that he would be embarking on a 40th anniversary world tour.
