Lourdes Leon, the 26-year-old daughter of pop icon Madonna, is making a name for herself in the fashion and music industries. However, she has disclosed a peculiar challenge in her personal life – her preference for men. Although Madonna has famously experimented with her sexuality, Lourdes has found her dating preferences to be rather troublesome. In an interview with The Face magazine, she described her love life as a “curse.” Lourdes has identified as heterosexual and only attracted to men, but she candidly revealed that her romantic inclinations have been a source of distraction and frustration.
Lourdes has been public about her past experiences with men. Her highly publicized split from actor Timothée Chalamet, a former high school classmate, in 2014 drew significant attention, with reports suggesting that Timothée’s alleged infidelity was the root cause. Despite this, in a 2021 interview with Entertainment Tonight, she spoke warmly of her ex, stating she still respected him despite their tumultuous past.
Avoiding Boys at All Costs
During her interview with friend and fellow musician Eartheater, Lourdes bared her soul about the challenges of maintaining focus amidst the whirlwind of dating men. “It’s such a curse. If you can avoid it, men or boys in general, I would because what a distraction,” she declared. “I would definitely say just, like, avoid boys at all costs if you want to be focused on something.” She has found her past experiences to lend credence to this advice.
Although Lourdes deems herself “cursed”, she is crystal clear about her affections and attractions. When asked if she might consider exploring relationships with women to avoid the drama associated with men, she candidly affirmed her heterosexual orientation. “I don’t like girls. I’m painfully straight. It’s terrible. I wish it wasn’t so, but unfortunately, these are the cards I’ve been dealt. I am cursed, plagued with liking these men,” she professed.
Mystery Surrounding Her Relationship with Jonathan Puglia
Despite these so-called romantic woes, the multi-talented performer did find a romantic connection in 2017 with skateboarder and photographer Jonathan Puglia. However, the status of their relationship is shrouded in mystery due to Lourdes’ preference for keeping her personal life under wraps. With no trace of their relationship visible on her social media, fans can only speculate whether Jonathan contributes to what Leon terms as her “curse.”
Lourdes is Madonna’s first child, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Carlos Leon. The Hung Up hitmaker also shares her son Rocco from a previous marriage with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, as well as being a mother to her adopted children David Banda, Mercy, and twins Esther and Stella from Malawi. Despite her struggles with her love life, Lourdes is carving her path in the fashion and music industries, proving that she is a force to be reckoned with.
