Madonna is planning a special ceremony to show her commitment to Jesus Luz.

The 50-year-old singer and her 22-year-old model boyfriend will exchange vows in the presence of a rabbi at New York's Kabbalah Centre, with Madonna keen to show her beau how grateful she is for the way he supported her during her failed bid to adopt three-year-old Malawian Mercy James.

A source said: "They are totally besotted with each other and he's really helped Madonna through this tough time.

"Madonna was devastated when the adoption was rejected but now she wants to lavish some attention on Jesus and she's keen to make sure they have a solid relationship."

Earlier this year, Jesus - who met Madonna when they were starring in a sexy photoshoot for American magazine W last December - converted from Catholicism to Kabbalah, a mystical offshoot of Judaism which Madonna follows, to show how serious he was about the singer.

He has taken several classes to learn about the religion's teachings, and has also been seen visiting the Kabbalah Centre with Madonna and her children Lourdes, 12 and adopted three-year-old David Banda.

It had been reported the pair split during Madonna's attempt to adopt Mercy in Malawi, but they have been seen enjoying a series of intimate dinner dates since her return to New York last month.

Despite the 28-year age gap, Madonna's children Lourdes, David and eight-year-old Rocco are said to be happy with their mother's new relationship.

A source told Britain's The Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Lourdes teases Jesus by calling him 'The Babysitter', because he is so young. She likes him, but loves to wind him up."

Meanwhile, Madonna is setting up a special fund to ensure Mercy is properly cared for and educated even if she is not allowed to give her a new home.

A source explained: "Madonna loves Mercy. She wants to be part of her life and provide for her. She wants to make sure Mercy has everything she needs in life and her dreams are fulfilled."
