Jesus Luz: 'I consider myself a married man'

Jesus Luz sparks rumours that he and Madonna have secretly wed, after revealing that he sees himself as 'a married man'

Jesus Luz has sparked rumours that he and Madonna are set to wed, by stating 'I consider myself a married man.'

The 23-year-old Brazilian model told an interviewer in his home country that he wasn't scared about taking on the responsibility of his superstar girlfriend's four children, revealing: 'At my age, my father was also married. My mother gave birth to me when she was 15.'

Madonna has two biological children, Lourdes, 13, and Rocco, 9, and two adopted, Mercy, 5, and David, 4.

Jesus referred to the brood as his 'family' during the interview.

The comments should put an end to rumours that the pair have split, after they were not spotted together at last month's Oscar after-parties. Reports suggested that Madonna was spotted with another man - but the latest revelations from her Jesus should silence those persistent break-up whispers.
