Madonna states Brazil visit is 'strictly business'

Madonna has refuted reports she's jetted to Brazil to meet her boyfriend Jesus Luz's family - insisting her visit is strictly business.

The Material Girl landed in Luz's native country this week alongside her beau, fuelling speculation she is to step up the romance by meeting the model's relatives.

But Madonna is adamant she is only in South America for charity work - she plans to visit some of Rio de Janeiro's slums and to discuss setting up some 'social projects' with the city's governor Sergio Cabral.

She tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, 'I am going there strictly for fundraising and humanitarian purposes.'

The singer is also sponsoring a documentary on the children living in slums.
