Madonna & Guy Ritchie Can’t Stand Each Other's Faces

Madonna & Guy Ritchie loved up
After much media speculation and the couple not looking too happy on the red carpet of late, Madonna and Guy Ritchie have finally announced their split.

A jointly statement emailed to The Associated Press by Madonna’s publicist, Liz Rozenberg, announced that Madonna and filmmaker Guy Ritchie will end their marriage after nearly eight years. The couple asked the media to “maintain respect for their family at this difficult time,”

The financials and custodial arrangements are yet to be agreed to by the couple.

Madonna and film director, Guy Ritchie, were married at Skibo Castle in the Scottish Highlands 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 previous relationship with Carlos Leon.

The couple are reportedly worth approximately $525 million combined, of which the vast majority of that belongs to Madonna and Guy Ritchie bringing in an estimated $35 million. They have homes in London, Los Angeles and New York, as well as a country estate in Wiltshire and a pub in Mayfair.

It’s alleged that though Madonna wanted to delay the announcement of their split till after her global "Sticky and Sweet" tour ended, their fighting got so bad that Ritchie just wanted out, according to the Sun newspaper.

Madonna finally relented and they are both now looking for the divorce to be complete prior to Christmas.
