It’s Official: Madonna and Guy Headed for Divorce

As previously reported by the Gossip Girls, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are planning on getting divorced. And per a statement from Madge’s spokeswoman, it’s all about to get underway.

The Sun cited sources that claim Ritchie and Madonna want a divorce finalized by Christmas, though they haven’t agreed to a settlement yet. One source has already asserted that Guy stands to get $100 million from the Material Girl by the time everything is said and done.

A close friend of the couple told press, “It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together. Despite huge attempts to patch things up, they both knew deep down that divorce was in the cards. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when.’ They tried hard over the past few months, but their fighting was getting out of control.”

Even Kabbalah, it seems, couldn’t save their marriage. Reportedly Guy came to Manhattan for a several week intensive, but it was too little too late. “Ritchie flew into New York a few weeks ago specifically to undergo instruction with his wife to try to patch things up, but to no avail.”
