Earlier this month Madonna’s young love Jesus Luz was photographed seductively dancing with a younger woman. Clearly realizing how stupid he was to be attracted to anyone who’s not a member of the AARP (and not worth over $100 million), Jesus is doing some heavy damage control. He’s denying he cheated on Madge. And of course we believe him, because who’d want to hurt that sweet, soft, feminine flower?

The best part? His alibi is his mom. Just in case you forgot he’s 22.

MADONNA’S toyboy lover has insisted he did not cheat on the star with a lingerie model — because his MUM was watching. JESUS LUZ admitted he danced with gorgeous LUCIANO COSTA, 31, at a party in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, earlier this month. But the 22-year-old insisted she was only a “friend”.

Jesus said: “I danced with her, but I danced with everyone at the party… My mum was at my side (at the party) and never would I become intimate with a woman if my mum was nearby - even if I was interested in that person.” Brazilian Jesus was pictured tenderly clasping model Luciana as they swayed to the music in his home city of Rio.

Onlookers said he held her close and whispered in her ear - while Madonna, 50, was nowhere in sight. But despite his claims, neither was his mum Christiane, who is 14 years younger than Madge.

Early the next day Jesus and Luciana were photographed again, when they ventured out for a Sunday stroll. But he said: “I have nothing with Luciana. The next day I met her on the beach and greeted her normally. The press created this story.”

Jesus also had some odd ways of referring to Madge. Like refusing to admit they’re together, but then saying they are without calling her by her name. And then talking about how he’s so personal and private and keeps things to himself… all while blabbing to The Sun.

Jesus refused to confirm he was dating Madonna and insisted the superstar - who he praised as a “great professional” - does not control him.

He added: “Even if it is true that I am with her, I would never reveal these details. I was never one to comment on my personal life and that won’t change now. This is a characteristic of my personality.”

But he reacted with fury when asked why his ex-girlfriend Catharina Franca called Madonna a “ridiculous old bag”. He said: “I ignore this type of thing because it is very futile and I have nothing to say about it… Do you recall when I said that people are trying to promote themselves (on my fame)? The person who refers to her (Madonna) refers to a great professional.

The best part of the interview were Jesus’ thoughts on the media and paparazzi attention. He knows it goes with the territory. Why? Because that’s what happens when you’re so successful with your career. “‘I expected it. This is the price you pay if you are successful with your work.’” Um, darling, people aren’t interested in you because of your career. What do you do again? I can’t even remember. They’re paying attention because you’re dating Madonna. In three months when she gets bored with you, no one’s even going to remember your name.

I will give it to Jesus: he’s got an ego that could almost rival Madonna’s. He actually thinks he’s accomplished something, when all he’s done is put out.
