The clip shows them completing the "GrrDance" challenge, which uses the Spanish reggaeton-pop song and has people from all age groups and countries completing the dance. 

In the clip, Madonna and Morris are dancing and lip synching along to the words, with Madonna wearing jeans and a black top and Morris wearing matching red sweatpants, sweater, and hat. As she stands in front of him and mouths the song's lyrics, Morris does his part, completing the challenge.

More details about Madonna and Morris

Madonna, 66, has been dating Morris, 28, for the past year. Morris is a Jamaican soccer player who's been based in New York for the past couple of years, moving to the city to attend college. 

The pair were first spotted together in 2022, with Morris appearing in one of Madonna's photoshoots. At the time, Madonna was dating Joshua Popper, so she and Morris weren't likely engaged in a romantic relationship. She confirmed their relationship last July, in a Fourth of July post that showed the two looking happy together, holding on to each other.

“Happy 4th of July!” she wrote at the time. “A year ago today, I had just come home from the hospital after surviving a life-threatening illness, I could barely stand in my backyard holding one sparkler. I made a miraculous recovery and had an amazing year. Thank you God. Life is beautiful!”

Since the pair have been photographed on vacations together and attending prestigious events, like this year's Met Gala. The relationship appears to be serious, with the two spending time with Madonna's children and posting about each other occasionally.
