Queen of pop Madonna has lost the head of her Raising Malawi charity after he fell for her trainer.

Executive director Philippe van den Bossche, who helped Madonna adopt her daughter Mercy, is leaving the charity’s Los Angeles headquarters to live with petite but perfect Tracy Anderson in New York.

“Philippe and I have been together for eight months, and things are great. I live wherever Madonna is, so Philippe is moving from LA to New York,” the New York Post quoted Anderson as saying.

Anderson and van den Bossche became close during the singer’s trips to Malawi to adopt David Banda and Mercy, but his departure has left her less than pleased.

“She was disappointed, as it is hard to find the right people to run the projects you deeply care about. But Madonna is a great friend, and she’s happy for Tracy and me,” van den Bossche said.

“It was a hard decision to resign my position at Raising Malawi, but I feel it’s time to concentrate on my relationship and my future, now that I’ve found the right person,” he added.
