Madonna and Guy Ritchie To Divorce

The Sun is reporting that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are about to confirm their divorce. According to the British tabloid, the couple is going pubic with their split because they “can’t bear to live with the pretence any longer.”

"They tried hard over the last few months but their fighting was getting out of control." said a source.“It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together any more," the source added. 
 

One of the main triggers for the separation is said to be Madonna's determination to adopt a second child from Africa. Ritchie fiercely opposes this decision as the marriage was placed under severe strain two years ago when they adopted toddler David Banda from Malawi.
 

Rumours of marital difficulties have dogged the singer and her film director husband for about a year. The rumours grew after it was suggested she was romantically linked to New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez - which was at the time was strongly denied by the singer.
 

 A spokeswoman for Madonna declined to comment but the paper claimed the couple will announce the split imminently. 
 

UPDATE: Madonna’s reps have just confirmed that she and Guy Ritichie are indeed divorcing after nearly 8 years of marriage!
