Madonna's Brother on Her 24-Year-Old Beau: 'Creepy'
Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone is a little weirded out by his sister's taste for younger men.
"I guess if she continues to date all these much younger guys, it could start to look creepy," Christopher tells
RadarOnline.com, referencing Madonna's new 24-year-old French beau Brahim Zaibat.
Radar previously reported that Madonna, who turned 52 last August, is
eight years older than Zaibat's mother. Before Zaibat, Madonna was linked to 24-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz.
"She certainly isn't following societal values, but then again my sister never has and probably never will either," Christopher says.
Madge and Christopher haven't spoken in three years, since he published the tell-all book 'Life With My Sister Madonna.'
"I think that a lot of Madonna's emotional needs are met by taking care of her children; these boyfriends must really be like a kind of distraction for her," Christopher says. Madonna has four kids.
Madonna's former husband of eight years, Guy Ritchie, was a decade her junior.

Plenty of people have had lots to say about Hugh Hefner and his 24 year old fiancée...none of it flattering. He's a ridiculous man and she's a gold-digger. He's been in permanent mid-life crisis for forty years and he just looks like an old fool. As far as Madonna goes..I have no problems with age differences when the right people find each other, but what she's doing is only dating young men and it's looking sort of pathological. Too bad all her Kabbalah studies haven't taught her to accept growing older gracefully, and perhaps start dating men who aren't young enough to be her son. Perhaps at least someone in his thirties..with a little more maturity. Oh but then she isn't looking for that, is she...just a boy toy who'll make her feel young. I think it's sad.
WHAT IS THERE TO SAY?? HE IS A FOOL AND SO IS SHE....JUST BECAUSE HE HAS MONEY (WHICH IS A GOOD THING) - THE THOUGHT IS REPULSIVE - AND I'M AN OLD LADY......IT HAS TO BE THE MONEY RIGHT?? HE GROSSES ME OUT!!!!!111 SHE IS JUST WHITE " TRASH".... THERE - I SAID IT.............
Hugh is 60 years her junior, Stella. That makes it even more disgusting. Yuck.
Stella,
Do the math! Hefner is in his 80's so it's more than 40 years.
Stella: That creep Hefner married someone 60 years his junior, not 40!
It's such a double standard. Older men have been dating younger women for years and it's considered normal. I see nothing wrong with Madonna or other older women dating younger men.

I personally would not date anyone I could have gave birth too. Not into younger men at all. Than again that is my choice. This is Madonna's. The only things her brother should be wishing her....Luck, Happiness.

If this was a older man dating a younger woman it wouldn't be such a big deal. Why is it any different in Madonna's case, I say more power to her. Plus her brother Christopher really just needs to get a life of his own, he is still bitter over the fact that he isn't part of her life anymore and enjoying her millions. NEWS FLASH, we don't really care what Christopher thinks, he is a no one and it sounds a lot like jealousy to me, he wishes he could have a boyfriend as hot and young as his sister.

its sick even if it was a 50yr old man dating a 20 something. she's older than her BF's mother and old enough to be his mother. her daughter is like 15 and is probably screwing the guys since they are closer to her age than her mother's age. don't date people who are young enough to be your kids because it never works out and it don't make u seem younger it just make u look weird.

if a 52 year old guy dates or tries hitting on a 24 YO girl, he's called a dirty old man. when a 52 YO girl/woman hits or dates a 24 YO guy, it's ok, why?

Madonna is a ICON.. Stop all the Judgments. If we all looked inside our own closets I could not imagine what would fly out. Let her live her own life. She is a great Mother, a great provider for her children and she is a multi-millionare. As for you HATERS go get a life........ LOL You will never be at her level of success.. STOP STOP.... Now go do something productive and help someone who is in need...

Madonna just came out of a divorce. She has four children. She's an extremely powerful woman (that many men can't handle that) with a lot of business ventures, directing a movie, new album, concert in a year or so. There isn't a man with his own life that would fit into hers right now. I do think she gets her emotional needs met by her children. And for right now a hard bodied young guy can fit in her life and he has no baggage. I'm sure one day she will fall in love with her equal again.

How sad the way he has turned on Madonna and wrote a tell-all just to make money because his gravy train dried up. No one ever said Madonna isn't a difficult woman, but she has achieved what no female entertainer ever has, busting through stereotypes, on and on. She has made it in a man's world on her own terms, which is no small feat. I saw her in her last two concerts, 2006 and 2000. She looked absolutely amazing. If these young guys are a diversion for a while after her divorce, it's her life.

oops. I meant I saw her in concert in 2006 and 2009 (not 2000).
do the math 24 goes into 52 twice as much as 52 would. you can't wear it out and he has been trying since she was trolling central park in her limo.

Madonna is an icon. Nuf said. Christopher is a queen who hates that his glory days are gone and was a druggie. If he hadn't been so cruel and written a book about his own sibling just to make money maybe he would still be in her life instead of living off publicity of her to make money.

The gallery shows a prime example of the double standard that exists in our society. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were married. After they divorced Demi married Ashton Kucher and there were many, many articles talking about what a cougar she was because he was 15 years her junior. A couple years later Bruce married Emma who was 23 years his junior and no one made a peep. I'm no huge fan of Madonna but you know what, if it makes her happy more power to her.
