Madonna`s new boyfriend believes he can "control" their romance. Dancer Brahim Zaibat -who has been dating the 52-year-old singer for several months - insists he is comfortable romancing one of the world`s most famous women and says being in the spotlight hasn`t changed him. Speaking about the aftermath of their romance being made public, he told Britain`s Grazia magazine: "I wouldn`t say things went too fast. My life did not really change. I am still the same person. "I am not the jealous kind. As long as I feel I am in control, everything goes smoothly. I cannot deal with external authority. Madonna and I are very alike when it comes to that." The 24-year-old dancer also admitted he is not a fan of the `Material Girl` singer`s music but has spent a lot of time listening to her back catalogue since they met. He said: "Her music sure isn`t what I would put on my iPod. But, like everybody else, I knew all her hits. "And, since we met, I have listened to everything she has done. It turns out she has added a lot of hip hop and break-dancing influences to her latest work." The couple met through a mutual friend earlier this year when the pal asked Brahim to dance at one of the singer`s events. Despite having to work with such a high-profile star, Brahim insists he wasn`t nervous when they first met. He said: "Norman asked me to dance for the launch of Material Girl (Madonna`s fashion label) and then backstage I was introduced to her. "She thanked me for my performance. I didn`t feel like I met a monster. She was a woman almost like any other woman. "I was really happy to meet her but I did not stress about it."
