Madonna's boxer boyfriend Josh, 29, slammed for 'poor taste' posts after hospital dash

Madonna's rumoured boyfriend Josh Popper has failed to address the singer's hospitalisation after she was rushed to intensive care with a "serious bacterial infection".

The 64-year-old Queen of Pop had been hospitalised after being found unresponsive over the weekend.

She's said to have been hooked up to a ventilator and intubated, with a breathing tube passed down her throat and into her lungs.

Madonna has since been deemed well enough to return to her New York City home, with her 29-year-old boyfriend remaining tight-lipped about the terrifying ordeal.

Instead, Josh has taken to Instagram to share a number of promotional shots of himself which were taken at New York University.

In some of the snaps, the boxer could be seen dancing on the steps outside of the university's halls of residence. Other pictures showed Josh relaxing in a bright foyer with New York University branding on the walls.

The post left Josh's followers divided, with some suggesting he should be by Madonna's side.

However, others were loving the post with one person saying: "Just a icon living!"

"Nice shots, another of Josh's followers commented.

Josh also shared a cryptic post during Madonna's hospital dash with a caption about his boxing career.

"Give yourself permission to live a big life. Step into who you were meant to be. Stop playing small. You are meant for greater things," he wrote.

He then took the opportunity to thank his boxing coach, adding: "Thank you to my coach [Dennys Lozada], my family, and the Bredwinners team for being by my side".

Madonna was first romantically linked to Josh just a few months ago, with the pair having been spotted attending a concert in New York City together back in April.

Madonna had been preparing for her Celebration Tour when she became ill, with her manager announcing the shows have now been postponed.

The singer has been discharged from hospital and is said to be receiving medical care at home.
