Now it seems that the 54-year-old pop queen's new personal trainer, New York-based Nicole Winhoffer, is headed in the same direction.
The professional dancer, who has been working with Madonna since 2009, which is around the same time that the singer allegedly dumped Ms Anderson, is releasing a range of workout DVDs in collaboration with her superstar client.

Madonna split with Ms Anderson after the trainer struck up a romance with the executive director of the singer's Raising Malawi charity.
He allegedly handed in his notice after falling in love with Ms Anderson.
A source told the New York Post at the time: 'Madonna had grown tired of the baggage that Tracy always seemed to be carrying with her. Tracy had grown to be more of a distraction than anything else.'
But it was in fact Ms Anderson who led Ms Winhoffer to Madonna.
'When the tour ended, I immersed myself in understanding anatomy, physiology, and the latest fitness trends while continuing my dance training. I continued to train Madonna and now I'm her primary trainer.'
She told the magazine that she steers away from any fried foods, in order to maintain her enviable body.
'If I'm craving a lot of sugar/carbohydrates, it usually means that I need rest,' she explained. 'My body is craving the glucose for energy. I love tofu, vegetables, and whole grains like quinoa and brown rice.'
She offered some advice to others who are struggling to adopt a fitness regime that works.
'Commit to change,' she advised. 'Ask yourself if you're living at your highest potential: physically, mentally, and spiritually. If the honest answer is no, ask why. Why haven't you given back to yourself first?
'Start a morning on the treadmill, give up soda, plan and pack your meals for the day, take a group fitness class. Once you commit to a change, there is no failing.
