Madonna "just happened" to begin dating much younger men.

The superstar is currently in a relationship with 24-year-old French dancer Brahim Zaibat.

Madonna does not discriminate romantically based on age.

"I didn't choose to, you know, I didn't, like, write down on a piece of paper -- I'm now going to have a relationship with a younger man," Madonna told Cynthia McFadden in an interview for American news programme Nightline. "That's just what happened. You see, that's the romantic in me. I just met someone that I cared for, and this happened to be his age."

Although Madonna is content with her romantic life currently, the twice-divorced singer admits that she longs for matrimony sometimes.

"[I miss] certain things [about marriage like] being a part of a family unit [and] not having to make all the decisions on my own," she explained.

Madonna's love life is nothing extraordinary. Her romantic routine is rote.

"I go home and I wash my face and I put on my sweatpants and I lay down on the bed and I say, 'oh, please rub my feet,' and you know, [Brahim] says, 'no, you rub my feet. So, you know, behind the curtain, I'm just like everybody else."

Madonna divorced from her first husband actor Sean Penn in 1989.

The star has 11-year-old son Rocco with her ex-husband director Guy Ritchie and 15-year-old daughter Lourdes from a previous relationship.

The singer is currently busy promoting her directorial debut W.E.

Madonna's interview will air in full on Nightline in America tonight.
