Before he would have turned his attention to acting, Jesus was a sought-after model working with some of the biggest names in the fashion industry. 

In 2008, he landed the job opportunity that would go on to change his life for good: a steamy W cover spread where he appeared alongside Madonna. They started dating shortly afterward. The singer even introduced him to Kabbalah, the religion he still follows. 

The relationship garnered a great deal of public attention — as it began around the same time as when Madge got divorced from the legendary movie director, Guy Ritchie — but it was often classed as a temporary fling by the tabloid press. 

Many have tried to make accusations against Jesus, claiming he was merely using the star, which he firmly denied throughout the entire year they were together. 

They broke up in 2010, citing vastly different personal interests as the main reason. 

"Living with Madonna has influenced the mindset I have today. I was very young when we dated and had an incredible life experience with her," Jesus explained in a previous interview with MSN. 

''I am extremely grateful to her. She inspired me to be the human being that I am today, more open to the unknown and more understanding of differences. I try to pass all this on to my daughter," he added.
