Madonna, Guy Ritchie Divorce Imminent... or Not

After getting mixed up in the middle of someone else’s divorce over the summer, Madonna may finally be heading for her own. A new tabloid report is circulating in the UK that an announcement of her split from British filmmaker Guy Ritchie is “imminent.”

Earlier this year, Madonna surfaced in the middle of Yankee superstar Alex Rodriguez’s divorce from wife Cindy. The pop star denied being involved with A-Rod and said her marriage was strong. But, well, you know how things go.


Various reports about the end of the Material Girl’s eight-year marriage have been circulating since the beginning of the year. Each time, the couple has denied the rumors, despite bits of tantalizing evidence to the contrary, and numerous anonymous comments from so-called “friends.” There have been reports, for example, that Madonna is anxious to move back to New York after living in England during the marraige. Madonna was in New York this week for the premiere of her new movie “Filth And Wisdom.” She also performed concerts at Madison Square Garden.

British tabloid, The Sun is the latest to stir the pot. It claimed the couple was only clinging to the marriage until Madonna could wrap up her Sweet & Sticky world tour later this year. "Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’. They tried hard over the last few months but their fighting was getting out of control," an unnamed source told the newspaper.


Guy has reportedly flown back from France, postponing filming of his new movie “Sherlock Holmes,” to break the news to his parents. This week he will take his possessions from the couple’s London home, which Madonna owns, and move into their Wiltshire home, which he owns.

The source said: “She was adamant that she was leaving Guy and not coming back.” We’ll see.
