Madonna wants to marry boyfriend Jesus Luz. The 51-year-old singer has hinted she is ready to settle down with her 22-year-old lover, even though they have been dating for less than a year.

“It can go either way. But why not? I could definitely see myself marrying him. Yes, it’s definitely on the table. He’s so sweet. He checks in with me all the time. I probably should do the same, but you know me. I think he gets it now that I’m a little, shall we say, self-involved.”

Did Madonna really say this? I almost don't believe it.

Madonna – who has been married twice, to actor Sean Penn and British film director Guy Ritchie – is considering a lavish wedding to show the world just how in love she is with the Brazilian model.

A relative of the pop legend said:

“She knows that’s what Jesus wants. She has a lot of wonderful memories of both of her weddings. She doesn’t want to slip off and do it quietly. She definitely wants a big and rather fantastic affair.”

Madonna began thinking of walking down the aisle again following the death of her friend Michael Jackson in June. The loss of the ‘Bad’ singer – who died of acute Propofol intoxication – made her more determined to live her life to the full.

A friend told this week’s edition Britain’s Hello! magazine:

“When Madonna and Jesus were just dating – back when she thought it was a fling – she was OK with it. But when she realized she was starting to have feelings for him, she started to become self-conscious about the relationship. ‘I don’t want my family to think I’m having a mid-life crisis,’ she told me. ‘And my friends, too. I don’t want people to think I have lost my mind.’ ”

What do you think? Will Madonna marry again?
