Madonna has developed “intense” feelings for her toyboy Jesus Luz – even though she only planned to have a fling with the hunky Brazilian when they first started dating.

The Holiday hitmaker hooked up with the 22-year-old during a magazine shoot a few months back — and the 51-year-old superstar — who recently divorced husband Guy Ritchie — is already head over heels.

“When Madonna and Jesus were just dating — back when she thought it was a fling — she was okay with [the age gap],” a source close to the star told Britain’s Hello! magazine. “But when she realized she was starting to have feelings for him, she started to become self-conscious about the relationship.

“‘I don’t want my family to think I’m having a midlife crisis,’ she told me. ‘And my friends, too. I don’t want people to think I have lost my mind’.

“As her feelings for Jesus intensified, she began to accept that, yes, maybe he was a consequence of a midlife crisis – and so what? Or, as she put it to me, ‘I think I deserve a midlife crisis after all I’ve been through with the divorce from Guy. I deserve to have a good time, too. And I deserve someone hot, like Jesus’.”
