In the history of celebrity relationships of all time, one of the most talked about celebrity relationships of all time has been the relationship between Jean Michel Basquiat and Madonna. Between the late 1970s and the early 1980s, there was a rumor that the two music icons and Art were romantically involved. However, the details of their relationship remain mostly a mystery.
It has been speculated that Madonna and Basquiat were once in a relationship. However, neither has ever confirmed nor denied the rumors, although their relationship has been the subject of much speculation over the years. Here, we’ll examine the evidence supporting the story that Madonna and Jean Michel Basquiat were involved in.
They had an affair in 1982 when Madonna was dating Jean-Michel Basquiat. Their relationship and how they met are unknown. Since the mid-1980s, Madonna has been pursuing a career in music instead of graffitiing Lower Manhattan. Even though she loved him very much, she hated that he used heroin.
Their relationship lasted only for a short time. After dating for a few months in 1983, they split up in 1988, though their relationship remained close.

About Jean-Michel Basquiat
Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat was from the United States. He became a leading figure of neo-expressionist Art in the 1980s. An accountant was his father’s occupation. When he was a child, he learned to read and write but struggled at school. In an alternative education school, he studied Art after dropping out of school.
To pay his expenses after quitting school and moving out of his house, he began selling T-shirts. With a friend, he formed SAMO, which painted graffiti on buildings in New York after a few years. The work he did as a graffiti artist got him noticed. A T-shirt company also hired him because of his career.
In particular nightclubs, he performed with his band. The 1980s saw him become famous for his works as a painter, despite being multi-talented. As new expressionist art became more popular, his work found many buyers.
Seeing Madonna’s tribute to Jean Michel on his birthday reminds us how influential his artwork was to the world. So wish him a pleased birthday from all of us and pray that he will remain happy wherever he may be.
