During an appearance on the game show *Rent Free*, pop icon Madonna revealed a surprising criterion she used when dating in the 1980s: the presence of a bathtub.

The singer admitted that she would assess potential romantic partners based on their bathroom amenities, prioritizing access to a bath or shower.

"I would date guys based on whether they had bathtubs and showers I could use," Madonna, 67, explained.

She recounted asking suitors about their living arrangements, specifically inquiring, "Do you have a bathtub?

That was a big plus for me." This insight offers a glimpse into the personal considerations that influenced her dating life during that period.

Madonna further elaborated on her past motivations, stating, "I'd go to this guy or potential boyfriend's house and take a bath or a shower.

And eat their mother's home cooking!" This candid admission provides a unique, if somewhat humorous, perspective on her early dating experiences.

In her more recent romantic life, the "Material Girl" singer has been dating Akeen Morris, a 29-year-old retired Jamaican soccer player, for the past two years.

Last year, the couple reportedly sparked engagement rumors after Madonna was seen wearing a large diamond ring.

Madonna has been married twice previously, first to Sean Penn from 1985 to 1989, and then to Guy Ritchie from 2000 to 2008, with whom she shares son Rocco, 26.

She is also a mother to Lourdes, 29, David, 20, Mercy, 20, and twins Stella and Estere, 14, the latter four of whom were adopted.
