Madonna has fans wondering if she’s about to tie the knot with her younger boyfriend, Akeem Morris. The 66-year-old pop icon shared a gallery of photos to celebrate the New Year, and among them was a giant diamond on her ring finger.

While Madonna could simply be flaunting some epic bling, one photo looks particularly romantically suggestive. The "Like a Virgin" singer is seen walking down a hallway, holding out the ring to show it off to the camera, while the 28-year-old beams proudly at her.

The couple appeared happy and in love in more snaps as they celebrated the New Year together with her family and friends in Japan. According to Page Six, the unique piece of jewelry is designed by Julie Y. Kim. "Here’s to more Love- To happy children-to magical thinking-to good health and eternal blessings," Madonna wrote in the caption.

Per Page Six, the celebration took place at 1 Oak Tokyo. Madonna and her boyfriend were joined by four of her six children: Lourdes Leon, 28, Rocco Ritchie, 24, David Banda, 19, and Chifundo “Mercy” James, 18.

Although her 12-year-old twin daughters, Stella, and Estere Ciccone, likely weren’t allowed in the club, they seemed to have joined the celebration earlier in the day.

Akeem has shared many special moments with Madonna’s family since they began dating, including her 66th birthday in Italy, the twins’ birthday earlier this year, and Christmas/Hanukkah.  

If they do get married, it will be Madonna's third marriage. Her first marriage was to Sean Penn from 1985 to 1989 and later to filmmaker Guy Ritchie from 2000 to 2008.

Recent Breakup Rumors

Madonna’s photos come less than a month after the Daily Mail reported that the couple had quietly split in late October. An insider told the outlet she ran into "the same issue with this boy toy as she has with all of her recent men."

They also cited their age gap as a problem and alleged that Akeem had a "wandering eye." "They come from different time periods. Madonna felt Akeem had a wandering eye because he did," the insider claimed.

Despite these reports, things now seem to be going amazingly well for the couple. Will we see Madonna walk down the aisle again?
