Madonna and Guy Ritchie ARE Divorcing

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing after almost eight years of marriage, the couple confirmed in a joint statement this morning. Rumors have been circulating that the couple has been having problems for the past year, and some of those rumors involved Madonna secretly dating Alex Rodriquez (A-Rod). My suspicion is that after Madonna adopted the little black boy David Banda from Malawi in 2006, it put a lot of strain on their relationship. Guy had already accept Lourdes, who was the daughter from Madonna’s relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon.

The couple is not expected to have a big court battle, but will hopefully settle out of court. The custody of Guy’s biological child Rocco, who is eight years-old, will now have to be decided. The couple is worth about $525 million, wiht about $35 million belonging to Guy. The couple’s property, and other earnings during the relationship will be split. The couple have no prenup.

This is rather sad. Although Madonna’s ego is HUGE, Guy seemed to handle her very well, but it seems like Guy grew increasingly unhappy as Madonna’s ego grew bigger.

Madonna announced at her October 6 concert in New York City:

"In exactly 29 moves, the Queen will dump the King!"

When Madonna made that announcement she had 29 more dates on her U.S. tour. Looks like Guy decided to cut the queen down before she could carry out her plan.
