Brazilian Model Jesus Luz and Madonna
The photo above shows American recording artist, actress and entrepreneur Madonna (51 years) with the Brazilian model Jesus Luz (23 years).
Madonna is reportedly planning to marry her Brazilian lover Luz by the end of 2009. Biographer Randy Taraborrelli claims that Madonna is set to make her 29 years younger beau Jesus Luz her third husband, after her first husband actor Sean Penn and the second husband director Guy Ritchie from whom she officially parted ways this year.
During their eight year marriage Madonna encouraged director Guy Ritchie to follow the Kabbalah faith and her current partner Jesus Luz is undertaking the studies on Kabbalah.
According to the Herald Sun, Taraborrelli quoted Madonna as having said, "He’s so sweet. I could definitely see myself marrying him. It’s definitely on the table." She has been dating Luz since their meeting on a risqué photo shoot in January.
The 51-year-old Madonna dating 23-year-old Jesus Luz has caused a scandal, as news reports show. There were even people doubting over whether she should date him or adopt him! There are others who advocate it is surely the time when women should be allowed to grow old ‘disgracefully’.
As Kathy Lette, the author of the best seller 'To Love, Honour and Betray', says in Younger men dating older women makes perfect sense, Madonna, Sam Taylor-Wood, Mariah Carey and Demi Moore have discovered, a younger man with an older woman makes sense. Lette compares older women to fine wine that takes many years to mature.
The size zero crazy younger women, who worry about their breast size, body shape, cellulite, and weight and bulge problems are so insecure. On the other hand, an older woman is so much more relaxed in her skin. Once a woman hits fifty, a liberating "now or never" mentality takes over, Lette says.
Lette writes, ‘The statistical evidence of older man running off with younger women has been static for about thirty years. But the statistical evidence of older women running off with younger men is on a sky-rocket trajectory’. According to Lette, who quotes biological facts, the male of the species hits his sexual prime in his late teens and a woman in her late forties.
Lette compares a woman in her forties or fifties, on the hunt for younger men, to a new creature stalking the urban jungle, the cougar. Cougar (literally a big cat or feline) is a term used to refer to a woman over 40 who sexually pursues younger men. The term has been used in TV series, advertising and film. A spate of American sitcoms and movies are about to prowl onto our screens, documenting the mating habits of this predatory species.
