14 DAY TRIAL // Madonna’s 16-year-old daughter is dating. Her boyfriend’s name is Timothée Chalamet and fans of Showtime’s critically successful series “Homeland” will recognize him as vice president’s son, Finn Walden.
According to Page Six, which cites unnamed sources close to the young lovebirds, the two go to the same school, which is also where they met and, one may assume, fell in love.
“The pair met at La Guardia High School of Music & Art & Performing Arts on the Upper West Side, where Timothée’s in the class of 2013. Lourdes, who is reportedly studying drama, graduates next year from the school, which was the inspiration for the 1980 film ‘Fame’,” the publication reports.
It also quotes an insider as saying, “It’s common knowledge at the school that the pair are dating,” which could mean that the romance isn’t really new – word of it just got out now.
Page Six reached out for comment to Madonna’s publicist, but also to Chalamet’s. Neither responded at the time of writing.
However, considering what Lourdes’ father, Carlos Leon, was saying only 2 years ago about how much he dreaded the thought that she’d soon start dating, it looks like Chalamet will have his work cut out for him.
“I’m dreading it... because she’s my little girl,” Leon said, as cited by the aforementioned publication.
“I want her to stay young forever. I’m already overprotective, so when the time comes, I will be ready to have a talk with the guy she brings through the door. He better be ready, because I’ll give him the rundown!” he added.
Lourdes (or Lola, as her famous mom calls her) has said before that she wanted a career in showbiz but never got into specifics. Reports online claim she’s thinking of stepping in her mother’s footsteps in acting and music, but she’s obviously interested in fashion as well.
