The Sun is reporting that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are set to release a statement that they’re splitting up.
A statement confirming their marriage is over has been prepared and is set to be released imminently.
The couple are going public with their split because they “can’t bear to live with the pretence any longerâ€.
They have had a string of shouting matches about the amount of time each devotes to their careers, and over Madonna’s desire to adopt another child.
These arguments smashed through their attempts at reconciliation “like a sledgehammerâ€.
A highly-placed source told The Sun: “It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together any more.â€
Now, these rumors come around every six months or so, but, I have to admit, if you’re going to do a high-profile divorce, now’s probably the time. The world economy’s collapsing and the U.S. Presidential election’s in less than a month. At this moment, the universe cares less about the health of Madonna’s marriage than ever before. If you’re gonna jump ship, Madge, now’s your chance.
the sun is all a load of shit anyway
Yeah…. Beet you’re quoting from The Sun??? Hmmmm??????
Simple logic- I’m sure they have problems but I hope they can work it out, (though I don’t know what she sees in him), I do like his movies, a lot actually.
So, it’s not such a stretch to run a story about them splitting up. It’s nice when “stars” can be together, but to say there’s problems- that sells.
yeah, the sun’s stupid, but beet doesn’t print things she doesn’t think are true.
like the lindsay lohan and samantha ronson engagement/breakup/whatever bullshit.
this, however, makes a fuckload of sense.
largely because madonna is one of the most fucking obnoxious people on the planet and how anyone could live with her is pretty much beyond me.
i mean, check out all the red carpet interviews where she’s completely pleased with herself and oblivious to her husband’s evidently all-consuming desire to blow his brains out.
i really don’t care about whether or not madonna’s relationship is on the rocks…i dunno. just doesn’t get my interest. i’m more likely to read ang/brad rumors muttering “no, no way. they are awesome! people are just jealous of their children having donation making public affection giving not married sexy selves”.
that is all.
Yawn
Yes, good. Good, I say! The sooner, the better, PLEASE get divorced. I adore Guy Ritchie, I believe he’s an uncommon filmmaking talent, and Madonna? I loved her passionately throughout the eighties and early nineties, when I was a kid & young girl, but these days, she just pisses me off and makes my skin shiver with indignant repulsion, like how dare she keep smashing everyone in the face with her “I’m so, SO much better than you will EVEr be, I am the Queen, you are SCUM, obey me, heed me, buy my bullsh*t” barrage of constant nonsense. I am so over Madonna. Please, PLEASE leave that crazy freakin’ old crone, Guy.
Torie? You are VERY funny
cry wolf a bunch of times, then really do it when people no longer care. it would be like her to do that…she is a PR machine.
Huh…no kidding!
I wonder what it was that drove these two kids apart… Maybe Madonna’s hectic touring schedule that put so much distance between them…. Maybe it was the difference in religious beliefs…. Or just maybe it was the 6’4 Puerto Rican baseball player playing Copa Cabana on her sagging titties.
Guess we’ll never know…
@Snowblood well said! I absolutly agree!
“She looka like a man.”
Actually it’s gone on much longer than expected, considering she only hooked up with him because she was in her “I’m such a very BRITISH girl” phase. When “fairly normal” marries “egocentric and crazy” it doesn’t take an ancient prognosticator to forsee that it might not end well.
The expression on Guy’s face seems to be saying,”What the fuck was I thinking when I married this annoying, shallow, egotistical, publicity whore.”
LONDON – Madonna’s spokeswoman says the singer and her husband, filmmaker Guy Ritchie, will divorce after 7 1/2 years together.
A statement e-mailed to The Associated Press from spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg says the couple has agreed to divorce, and asks the media to respect their privacy.
Beet beat out the AP. Whooo Beet! She knows all, she tells all.
well, sun doesn’t suck so bad after all I suppose
aww im sorry to see this. three babies involved.
I love the “please respect their privacy” crap. They live their lives in the public eye, then try to hide when it’s inconvenient.
This will be one of those times they’ll wish they weren’t celebrities.
its confirmed
@ Chuck
100% agree with your ass…( I always knew Chuck was a brilliant fucker!)
If they wanted privacy they shouldn’t have shoved their lavish lifestyle in my face.
I hope they play a game of Risk to see who gets the kids.
The kids are like, “Hatred and segregation…. I coulda stayed in Africa and seen that shit for free….”
of course they are getting divorced…guy ritchie hasn’t looked happy in about 4 years and madge is riding the crazy “i wish i were british aristocracy” train.
no prenuptial. damn.
Let’s hope he gets custody of her fake British accent in the settlement.
it’s official. check lainey for a copy of the release from madge’s publicist.
I agree kitten. He never looks happy. And she always looks happy…with herself.
@wellhonestlynow lol!!! ;-)
@woohoo do you know this for sure?
Yes, the poor guy. He always looks like the poster child for despair. But who wouldn’t, after living with that corpse.
Wow, now CNN is confirming, sorry to have doubted you Beet : )
SHOCKING
How were they a great couple? Who told them to live with the pretence? And of course Madonna is being completely selfish and wanting to adopt another child when her marriage is on the rocks and her other children are likely suffering because of it.
Yeah uuuummmm boo hoo.
