LONDON (Oct. 15) - Madonna and filmmaker Guy Ritchie will end their marriage after nearly eight years, the couple said in a joint statement Wednesday.

The couple asked the media to "maintain respect for their family at this difficult time," said the statement, e-mailed to The Associated Press by Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's publicist.

Hardly a surprise now, is it??:dozey:

 

Why do these people even bother getting married in the first place?

if that is true, although it don't really surprises me, i am sorry for the kids... :(

Did she (Madonna) sing it to him?? :laugh3:

 

Tick tick tock it's a

quarter to two

And I'm done

I'm hanging up on you

someway there's always these kind of news about Madonna... maybe it's just for the publicity, since she's touring right now...

 

but anyway.. she's too famous to need more publicity

She's worth about £280m and him £20m but it sounds like Ritchie's going to find it difficult to send Madonna to the cleaners

Pretty ridiculous that they adopted a kid when their marriage was probably already in shambles. I guess he's still better off, but eh.

 

Who's next?

...and why is this in the "news" section? :rolleyes:

 

i wouldn't count ay celeb couple splitting up as news....apart from maybe ant & dec :rolleyes:

i wasn't sure where to put it. I'm a newbie at posting new threads:rolleyes::D

I agree, any "celebrity" related news should be belong in the bin :P

 

But failing that Ents & Arts

don't really care. madonna's terrible and guy.. i don't really know like, anything about him.

 

:dozey:. i knew this was coming. i think we all did.

LONDON (Oct. 21) - Gwyneth Paltrow is helping her friend Madonna through breakup of her marriage.

The actress told reporters that she's supporting the pop star following Wednesday's announcement that she's separated from filmmaker-husband Guy Ritchie.

"She's a very good friend. I'm supporting her in all the ways that I can. I'm just there for her. I speak to her a lot," Paltrow said as she attended the premiere of her film "Two Lovers" at London's Film Festival.

Like Madonna, Paltrow - who's married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin - lives partly in London.

Madonna and Ritchie, who were married at a Scottish castle in December 2000, have two children: Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3, who was adopted in Malawi in 2006. Madonna also has a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from a previous relationship.

Madonna's publicist said Sunday that details of a divorce settlement are yet to be finalized, dismissing reports that the couple had agreed to a custody arrangement for the couple's children.

The couple own homes in London, Los Angeles and New York, and a 1,200-acre retreat in Wiltshire, England.
