Madonna doesn't often post photos with her beau, so when she does, you know it's a special occasion. On Saturday, June 26, Madonna shared new photos with her boyfriend, Ahlamalik Williams, that were taken during her surprise performance at a Pride event in New York City. As reported by Today, on Thursday night—well, technically, Friday morning since she hit the stage at 1:30 a.m.—Madonna performed two songs at the Boom Boom Room, gave a speech, and helped raise money for The Ali Forney Center and Haus of Us by auctioning off Polaroids.
The 62-year-old singer shared photos from the party on her Instagram, and in addition to showing fans how much fun she had, she also gave followers a somewhat rare look at her relationship with Williams. Read on to see the pictures and to find out more about Madonna and Williams' romance.
Madonna was obviously thrilled to be at a club again.

Madonna and Williams have been together since around 2018.
© Madonna / InstagramWhile you might not hear too much about them, Madonna's relationship with Williams is nothing new. Williams' father told TMZ in December 2019 that his son and the Queen of Pop had been together for over a year. Around that same time, paparazzi photos of the two started popping up. Williams is now 27, which is 35 years Madonna's junior. His father doesn't have a problem with their age gap, however. "Love has no age," he told TMZ. "My son is livin' la Vida Loca, and I'm just happy for him."
They met at work.

Williams has worked as one of Madonna's backup dancers for several years now. According to Us Weekly, he first auditioned for her Rebel Heart Tour in 2015 and went on to dance on her Madame X Tour in 2019 and 2020, as well.
