Especially since Guy Ritchie is back in the singer’s life

Despite repeatedly denying they were anything more than just friends who bonded over a photoshoot and then chose to keep in touch and regularly hang out, word in the industry has it that the romance between Madonna and the much-younger Jesus Luz has reached a critical point. For more accuracy, the model is very jealous that the singer’s ex is back in her life, Radar Online says.

Madonna has long fought with former husband Guy Ritchie, including even exchanging a couple of bitter words via the media. However, in recent weeks, the two have managed to work through their differences for the sake of the children, for whom they must keep a united front. Not only is Jesus Luz, Madonna’s reported latest boyfriend (or boytoy, as he’s been dubbed in the tabloid media) forced to deal with Guy’s presence, but also with the singer’s hypocrisy.

Sources close to the couple can vouch that Madonna, always the one who must have control over everything, has literally prohibited Luz from seeing his former girlfriends because she’s too jealous of them. In this context, forcing him to be civil and on good terms with Guy is more than she should ask, Radar writes, citing one such, unnamed source. “Guy is with Madonna a lot these day and was invited to a party at her house with some of their mutual friends last weekend. It’s uncomfortable for Jesus having to be around Guy so much and very hypocritical – Madonna has banned Jesus from speaking to any of his ex-girlfriends.” the spy reveals.

Seeing his former flames is not all that Luz is not allowed to do, as we also mentioned on previous occasions. Reports in the media have had it for months that the romance between the 51-year-old singer and the model, who’s only 22, is based on a “she-says-he-does” rule, where Luz must never cross Madonna. As fans must know, speculation on whether he’s using the affair to break into the US fashion industry or if Madonna herself is using him to show that she still has what it takes to break hearts has been building up constantly ever since rumor of the two dating first broke.

Still, “[Madonna] is someone I truly admire, a friend who is in my life, who I have worked with, and who I keep in touch with. I can’t say anything else besides that. She is a friend, and nothing but a friend.” Luz was saying a while back during a televised interview for a Brazilian network.
