Madonna and Guy Ritchie announced Wednesday they are divorcing after nearly eight years of marriage. I'm a little bummed, I liked them a lot.
The couple issued a brief statement by their representatives Wednesday, asking for respect from the press for their family's sake.
“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7 1/2 years of marriage,” her rep confirmed.
A financial settlement has not been agreed on by the wealthy couple, who also must decide child custody issues.
Madonna and Ritchie married in December 2000. The couple have two children: Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3, who was adopted from Malawi in 2006. Madonna also has a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from her relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon.
So does this mean that Madonna may now be free to admit that she's been seeing A-Rod? Could those rumors a few months ago have been true? An A-Rod source reveals, “A-Rod and Madonna are more involved than ever. Alex has really missed spending time with Madonna. However, he understands the position Madonna’s in.”
I really hope this divorce doesn't get nasty, they've got a lot of kids to worry about!
