More music...Madonna has finally met the mother of her toyboy lover Jesus Luz, according to reports. Hairdresser Cristiane Regina Da Silva, who is 15 years younger than the pop star, was spotted arriving at the singer’s hotel in Rio de Janeiro looking dressed to impress.

It is further proof that the relationship, initially dismissed as a fling, is going strong as it approaches the one-year mark. Madonna arrived in Brazil on Monday, ostensibly to meet various officials about setting up a children's charity in the country.

But the trip has been surrounded by rumors she was finally due to meet her 23-year-old lover’s parents. Cristiane was seen arriving at Hotel Fasano with Jesus’ agent Peterson Ibrahim one evening earlier this week.

At the time Jesus and Madonna were out to dinner, and it is thought the 36-year-old arrived early to meet the pop star in an informal way following the meal. Although initially criticizing the pair’s age difference and Madonna’s apparent controlling behavior, Cristiane would seem to have warmed to the relationship. Jesus’ dad, hospital worker Luiz Heitor Pinto da Luz, has not been seen near the pair or at the hotel.
