'She f---ed my boyfriend, so I fired her': Madonna blasts her ex-personal trainer for ‘affair’ in front of a 20,000 crowd in the Philippines

One of Madonna's many talents is her ability pair a concert tour with some kind of controversy.

And the arrival of her Rebel Heart show in the Philippines this week - the first time she has performed in the country - was no different.

On stage in Manila on Thursday night, the queen of pop told her sold-out crowd of 20,000 people that she wanted to 'share this little story'.

'Once I had a Filipino trainer - this beautiful, beautiful girl. She was gorgeous and very talented as a trainer. But she f---ed my boyfriend, so I fired her,' Madge said, as the audience burst out laughing.

She then added, cheekily: 'So that wasn't a happy ending.'

According to Page Six, the trainer in question is Nicole Winhoffer, who worked with the singer for five years.

The two split ways in 2014.

Winhoffer was the creative direction of Hard Candy Fitness, the franchise of gyms that Madonna opened all over the world, and traveled extensively with the performer.

During the time the two worked together, Madonna dated dancers Timor Steffens and Brahim Zaibat.

Madonna reportedly split from Steffens, 28, in the middle of a European vacation in 2014, the gossip column noted.

Representatives for neither Madonna or Winhoffer responded when called for comment.
