Renowned designer Jimmy Choo says the 'Celebration' hitmaker – who was previously married to director Guy Ritchie and actor Sean Penn – admitted she loves his creations far more than getting intimate with the men in her life.

He said: 'Madonna told me that buying a pair of my shoes is more satisfying than having sex with a man.

'At least you know they are going to last for ever!'

It seems 51-year-old Madonna – who is currently dating model Jesus Luz, 23 – has had a change of attitude to sex since her marriage to Guy ended.

Before their split, she boasted about their 'amazing' love life.

She said: 'I don't know who told you that having children and getting married means there is no erotica in your life.

'Our sex life is amazing. But I had to marry someone as tough as me. Guy's definitely tough. I had to marry a challenge, otherwise I would just get bored. Whatever else Guy is, he's never boring. He can be intolerant.'

Madonna has four children, daughters Lourdes, 13, and Mercy, four, and sons Rocco, nine, and David, four.
