Romance Report for Dec. 3: Monsters and More
By Kat Giantis
Madonna's latest age-mismatched squeeze apparently finds her maturity a plus. "I'm learning a great deal," dancer Brahim Zaibat, 24, is quoted as telling Grazia magazine (via the London Daily Mail). "I'm an apprentice!" We can only imagine what the newly pillow-cheeked Big M's lessons involve, given that she reportedly doesn't speak Brahim's native French and his English is spotty.
The megastar, 52, who reportedly broke up with equally dewy honey Jesus Luz a few months back, was first spotted with Zaibat in October, not long after they met at the launch of her new clothing line. Seems he wooed her with this original opening line: "Hi, how are you?"
"It wasn't like meeting a monster!" exclaims the hoofer. "She's just a woman like all the others. She's an extraordinary artist and world-famous, of course, but a woman above all."
Zaibat, whose mother is eight years younger than Madonna, adds, "I'm not saying things have gone very fast since then, but things have happened in order."
