Madonna and Jesus appear as a 'couple' for the first time 

It wasn't just her striking Louis Vuitton ensemble that earned Madonna headlines when she attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Ball on Monday. The 50-year-old also chose the glamorous fashion event to crank up the profile of her relationship with young model Jesus Luz.
 
While reports had been circulating that their romance was over, Jesus' presence at the New York gala suggests the couple are still an item. And it was easy to see why the mum-of-three fell for the 22-year-old – whom she met on a photo shoot in December – as he was looking particularly suave in a tuxedo.
 
Following their Met appearance, the next day the couple were spotted together chaperoning the Material Girl's 12-year-old daughter Lourdes to a Lady Gaga concert.
 
While Lourdes danced to the music and spent her time snapping photos of the singer, Madonna and Jesus kept their arms wrapped around each other.
