Madonna fuels romance rumours after dinner date with Brazilian model

They haven't been photographed together for over a month, but this picture of Madonna and Brazilian model Jesus Luz will fuel speculation of a romance.

The singer, 50, left a restaurant with the 22-year-old in New York yesterday.

The couple ate at the Marcelleria Italian steakhouse in Manhattan's trendy meatpacking district, before Madonna took her children Lourdes, David and Rocco for a shopping trip.

While Madonna was wrapped up for the cold winter day, which saw temperatures dip as a low as -4C, Luz appeared oblivious to the chill as he walked with his shirt open.

As well as Jesus, Madonna's next most stylish accessory was her £960 bright red, Stephen Sprouse Tribute Collection 'Speedy' handbag by Louis Vuitton.

Their lunch date follows reports that Jesus flew to London to celebrate his 22nd birthday with Madonna.

They were first photographed in December, but appeared to be standing deliberately apart, after another dinner date in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Madonna met Jesus in December on a photoshoot with celebrated photographer Steven Klein for American magazine W.

In the raunchy pictorial, a smartly dressed Madonna pulls topless Jesus towards her in an intimate pose.

Madonna was apparently so enamoured with the handsome Latino, she asked him to accompany her for the remainder of the South America leg of her Sticky & Sweet Tour.

Since being linked to Madonna, it's perhaps no surprise Jesus's modelling career has been given a huge boost.

His former agent Sergios Mattos, who runs 40 Graus Models, told the New York Post that Jesus stopped taking his calls after meeting Madonna and has now signed to the more high-profile Ford Models.

Mattos told Brazilian website Glamurama.com.br: 'He stopped answering his phone, his mother quit her job... But I wish him the best.

'And now I have a new Jesus [Spanish model Jesus Perez]. This is a much better Jesus, and he's not a fan of Madonna's.'

A source close to model also told Glamurama Jesus had raised his modelling rates since meeting Madonna.

The source said: 'He was asking for some $135,000 a show. He did the same job last year for a mere $225.

'A lot of people are contacting him but because he keeps raising his rates, they are changing their minds.'

Jesus is the second man to be linked to Madonna since she split from her now ex-husband Guy Ritchie in October.

Madonna denied reports last year she was involved with New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez, who divorced his wife Cynthia last summer.
