Madonna and Guy Ritchie Agree to Divorce

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reportedly agreed to end their seven-year marriage.

A friend said last night: “They were both very calm. Madonna told Guy: ‘I’m sorry, I want a divorce’. And he agreed. It was quite painless but very sad.”

One disclosed to the Daily Mirror: “He’s a bit down in the dumps, and who can blame him. He’s off to the country to get a bit of peace and quiet.”

Madonna, 49 reportedly has begun seeking advice from divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney in his divorce. Ritchie, 39, is believed to be consulting with Forsters, a lesser-known London law firm.

The couple apparently did not have a prenuptial agreement which could potentially lead to a 50-50 split of assets.

Madonna is believed to be worth about $600 million.

Im not really surprised either. I feel that it has to do with her fame and him being kind of unknown to people.

SAD SAD SAD.

GROW UP LOONIFERS. PEOPLE GROW APART AND IT LEADS TO DIVORCE.

She doesn’t strike me as someone who is particularly easy to live with or be married to, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors. I wish them the best, especially the children. Divorce is never fun.

Guy is way too good for Madonna.
I hope he can find someone who truly loves him, and who won’t overshadow him.

There’s no solid evidence yet that the Ritchies are breaking up.

‘a friend said’…i wont believe this until an official statements released, which has not

is this actually true? if the source is a “close friend” and the daily mirror, i don’t think we can really believe it. rumours about their divorce have been going around for awhile, and they’ve denied it.

What’s the source of this “report?” I mean, there’s probably some grain of truth in it, but it’s not real news, is it? Not at least a reputable news agency reports it.

Terrible news. Especially when children come into the equation.

What a shock: narcissist, ever self re-inventing Madonna wants to be free and single again before she gets to old to act like a hottie. WHO ever thought Madonna might turn out to be a flake? Huh!

She could not get enough attention becoming a British duchess and no one paid as much attention to her as she hoped when she adopted a third world child. They keep focusing on Jolie, dammit! You will see a spectacle now!

That’s sad but not surprising. I love Madonna but have always thought she could be a handful. I hope Guy get everything he deserves.

thin lizzy-

you need to grow up. seriously…

I find it hard to believe that she doesn’t have a prenup-no way. She’s too savvy for that!
Maybe grinding on JT gave her the idea that she’s still hot and get some young stud. I must say, I found it to be a sad spectacle. Act your age. Her poor children.
