Has Madonna, 57, got a new toyboy? Singer is 'smitten with 25-year-old model and former Harrods worker' amid custody dispute heartache

She recently wrapped her Rebel Heart tour, which took her all over the world.

But 57-year-old Madonna has reportedly had at least one distraction, which comes in the form of Aboubakar Soumahoro, a 25-year-old model with razor-sharp cheekbones and rock-hard abs, who used to work as a shop assistant in Harrods.

Speaking to The Mirror, Madge's loose-lipped friends claimed that she has been spending a lot of time with her latest toyboy, who hails from the Ivory Coast.

'They were at a party together back in November when they got chatting, and hit it off straight away,' the source said. 

'Over the next few weeks, they got together a couple more times and she invited him over to her place, where they sat up all night talking. 

'The next thing we heard, he had quit his job and had gone out to meet her on tour. It’s obviously a very close friendship.' 

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Madonna in the UK & US but is awaiting a response. 

Younger man: Sources told The Mirror that Madge is currently 'smitten' with Aboubakar, who hails from the Ivory Coast and goes by the name Brooklin

Aboubakar, who goes by the name Brooklin, is the latest in a series of younger men who have fallen under the spell of the Like A Virgin hitmaker. 

In 2010 Madonna started dating dancer Brahim Zaibat, who was 23 years old at the time.

Speaking on the American news program Nightline, she said that he fulfilled her in 'many ways'.

'I didn't choose to, you know, I didn't, like, write down on a piece of paper I'm now going to have a relationship with a younger man.

'That's just what happened. You see, that's the romantic in me. I just met someone that I cared for, and this happened to be his age.

'I don't want to live my life on my own. I love being a mother. My children fill me up in many ways, and inspire me in many ways, but I need a partner in my life and I think most people feel that way.'

In happier times: Madonna dated Brahim Zaibat for three years, starting in 2010. She allegedly attacked him in the lyrics of her song Unapologetic B***h following their breakup at the end of 2013

They split at the end of 2013, and she reportedly mocked his sexual prowess in her 2014 track Unapologetic B***h, singing: 'I know you'd like it if I stayed home and cried. But that ain't gonna happen, here's the reason why: When we did it, I'll admit it, wasn't satisfied.' 

Mother-of-four Madonna wasted little time finding a replacement, and by New Year's Eve was linked with dancer Timor Steffens, then 26.

Gym-fit Timor soon joined Madonna and her family on a family skiing trip to Switzerland, and he frequently posted Instagram shots with Rocco, Maddona's son, who was 13 at the time.

But by August their fling had come to an end. 

Us Weekly reported that, during a holiday in the South of France, Madonna ''politely asked Timor to take his luggage and leave.'

Madonna - full name Madonna Louise Ciccone - remains locked in a bitter custody dispute with ex-husband Guy Ritchie over custody of their 15-year-old song Rocco. 

Last week a High Court judge warned the embattled parents that they could ruin what is left of their son's childhood if they fail to settle their dispute.

He said it would be a 'tragedy' if any more of the 'fast receding days' of the teenager's childhood were taken up by the conflict, during which Madonna had launched litigation in both London and the United States.
