Madonna brings boxer boyfriend Josh Popper onstage at Brooklyn concert after starting 3 hours late

Madonna treated her audience to some eye candy after kicking off her Brooklyn concert three hours late.

The Queen of Pop brought her boyfriend, Josh Popper, onstage at Barclays Center during her latest “Celebration” tour stop Wednesday night.

The boxer, 29, flashed a big smile as he sat in a chair alongside Madonna, 65, for a portion of the show in which they judged dancers’ moves to her hit “Vogue.”

The couple could be seen in images and clips shared on social media holding up scorecards and having a good time.

At one point, the “Like a Virgin” singer leaned over to give her beau a kiss on the cheek in front of the audience.

Madonna was dressed in a tight, black corset dress adorned with lots of silver sparkles with her hair done in a retro bob.

Meanwhile, Popper sported street-style attire by wearing a graphic T-shirt, ripped jeans and rosaries over his neck.

The crowd appeared hyped up by his presence, seemingly forgetting that the “La Isla Bonita” singer did not start her show until nearly 11 p.m.

A source close to Madonna told Page Six that the delay was due to tech issues during sound check.

The insider told us Thursday that the “4 Minutes” singer was only one hour late since DJ Honey Dijon, her opening act, was scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. and had to go onstage first.

Madonna has not yet addressed her tardiness on social media. Her reps did not immediately return Page Six’s request for further comment.

Popper, for his part, reposted via his Instagram Stories Thursday a photo of himself wearing a jacket that had “F–k you” written repeatedly across the back. He captioned the pic, “Wearing my attitude.”

Madonna first sparked dating rumors with the athlete in March after she was spotted spending time at his gym, where he reportedly trained her son.

The “Material Girl” singer then went public with her romance by posting a selfie of her and Popper kissing.

Sources told Page Six at the time that the relationship was a publicity stunt to help promote the boxer’s gym.

“He’s up-and-coming and has just appeared in a reality show on Bravo [‘Summer House’], so he is eager to get attention with Madonna,” the source claimed.

However, nearly a year later, Madonna and Popper appear to still be going strong.
