They’ve been best friends since they met in an elevator in the ‘80s. So when Debi Mazar, 48, dishes on Madonna, 54, as she did on Watch What Happens: Live with Andy Cohen, it’s a good idea to sit up and take notice.
Cohen fired quickfire questions at the actress, who revealed that the love of her friend’s life is still ‘Sean,’ and though she wouldn’t confirm that she was referring to Madonna’s ex, Mr Penn, 52, it’s a safe bet to assume she was.
Madonna herself said as much in 1991 documentary, Truth or Dare, but that was before her marriage to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels director, Guy Ritchie.
In the documentary a dancer says ‘Who is the love of your life?’ and Madge says, word for word: ‘My whole? Sean,’ and looks embarrassed.
But it seems that it still holds true, the pair – who have birthdays just a day apart – are friends these days, despite a turbulent relationship at the time.
Penn was seen leaving her Staples Centre concert last year. Cohen also learned that Madonna smells like gardenias, loves salted fish and is a feisty Leo, like Penn.
‘Did Madonna ever steal any of your boyfriends?’ Cohen asked her, Mazar said yes, but then backtracked.
She also explained that Madonna used to get ‘spiritual baths’ and ‘blessings’ from self-professed witch, Mama Elsa of The Real Housewives of Miami.
Mazar said of her meeting with the superstar, ‘She came into my elevator, and a great song was spinning and she goes, ‘Hey, you wanna dance?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah!’ And I parked the elevator, and we had a great dance together and then later on we danced some more.’
‘From there on we became pals and started dancing and hanging out.’ Penn and Madonna perhaps ‘hang out’ together these days, too.
Despite a tumultuous relationship marred with violence (but crammed with passion) that ended in Madonna reporting a nine hour attack at the hands of Penn to police, the pair are friends.
He may have hit her around the head with a baseball bat but staggeringly the pop icon said she’s never felt a connection like it, and invited Penn to be with her at the birth of her daughter Lourdes by Carlos Leon sixteen years ago.
Penn and Madonna married in 1985, and their four year marriage was notoriously toxic during their four-year marriage.
