Madonna begged Tupac Shakur to have a child with her, it has been claimed. The singer is said to have briefly dated the rapper, a year before his death in 1996, and was desperate to start a family with him, reports femalefirst.co.uk.





Author Lucy O'Brien claims in her new book, Madonna: Like an Icon: "In her mid-30s Madonna desperately wanted children and had various relationships with unlikely men, in the hope that she would conceive."


But Madonna, now 49, was allegedly dumped by Tupac for not fitting in with his bad-boy rapper image.

Madonna's friend Alison Clarkson said: "She was going out with him but homegirls were saying to him, 'I can't believe you're going out with a white girl,' so she got dumped!"


Madonna went on to form a relationship with her personal trainer, Carlos Leon, and in October 1996 gave birth to his daughter Lourdes.


The book also documents Madonna and actor Sean Penn's wedding day in 1985, which was witnessed by a host of star guests. Guest Bill Meyers recalled how media helicopters disturbed the celebration. "Madonna was giving them the finger and Sean was running into the house for his shotgun," he said.


Madonna is now married to film director Guy Ritchie, and has a seven-year-old son with him. Last year, she was granted temporary custody of two-year-old Malawian boy David Banda.
