Madonna’s new beau Brahim Zaibat keeps on talking
Madonna’s new boyfriend believes he can “control” their romance. Dancer Brahim Zaibat — who has been dating the 52-year-old singer for several months — insists he is comfortable romancing one of the world’s most famous women and says being in the spotlight hasn’t changed him.
Speaking about the aftermath of their romance being made public, he told Britain’s Grazia magazine, “I wouldn’t say things went too fast. My life did not really change. I am still the same person. “I am not the jealous kind. As long as I feel I am in control, everything goes smoothly. I cannot deal with external authority. Madonna and I are very alike when it comes to that.”
The 24-year-old dancer also admitted he is not a fan of the Material Girl singer’s music but has spent a lot of time listening to her back catalog since they met.
“Her music sure isn’t what I would put on my iPod. But, like everybody else, I knew all her hits,” he said. “And, since we met, I have listened to everything she has done. It turns out she has added a lot of hip hop and break-dancing influences to her latest work.”
The couple met through a mutual friend earlier this year when the pal asked Brahim to dance at one of the singer’s events.
Brahim recently insisted Madonna is “just a woman”. “It all started on September 22 at the launch of Madonna’s new ready-to-wear clothing range,” he said.
“I performed a solo to Material Girl. Then I met Madonna on the sidelines, and she just thanked me for my show. It wasn’t like meeting a monster! She’s just a woman, like all the others. She’s an extraordinary artist and world famous, of course, but a woman above all. You know she wasn’t the first well known female singer I’d met. I was delighted to meet her but not stressed out.”
