Madonna and her toyboy lover Jesus Luz are set to tie the knot in a Kabbalah ceremony, according to the model's father.
Luiz Heitor Pinto da Luz said:'He is very happy and this ceremony would just confirm that.'
He was replying to reports the couple are due to take part in a Kabbalah commitment ceremony in New York as soon as this weekend.
In the new interview with Brazil's Quem magazine, Luiz Heitor gave his son's relationship with Madonna the seal of approval.
He said: 'My understanding is that this is just a consequence of what is happening. He is already living with her.
'I don't know if there will be an actual wedding. From what I have read there could be a sort of ritual, but I don't know Kabbalah... to know if it's valid and legal.'
Despite rumours of a split earlier this year, Madonna and 22-year-old Jesus seem to be going strong and have increasingly been seen out and about in New York of late.
The couple met when they were photographed for W magazine in a hotel room in Rio de Janeiro in December by celebrated photographer Steven Klein.
Madonna's eight-year marriage to Guy Ritchie ended last year, and their decree nisi came through in November.

'She has young children and he helps out with them,' he said.
'My son is charismatic, he likes children, he has an excellent relationship with her children. He plays football with them.'
But he flatly denied stories the pop star is paying $1,000 a week in English lessons for Jesus - and that she controls his phone usage.
He said: 'Those stories are lies, made up when the press have no information. He already spoke English long before meeting her, when he lived with an aunt in the US.
