Marriage Guy-dance for Madge
I'VE heard a whisper that MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE'S marriage is fizzling out.
Pals fear things have cooled between the pair and they'll go their separate ways—but will hold off announcing the decision for 18 months.
Rumours of trouble in the marriage camp were further fuelled this week when Guy, 39, failed to show up at Queen of Pop Madge's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame triumph in America.
My source revealed: "Madonna and Guy are over. It's all very amicable. They've just fallen out of love with each other.
They just think it's for the best as after some great years together they've been going their separate ways
"Madonna's been recording her new album Hard Candy and Guy has been trying to focus on putting a decent film out, so they are heading down different paths."
The source went on: "Guy has failed to show up at events which are important to Madge. He just hasn't taken as much interest as he has previously in what she's doing."
There have been whispers for some time that all's not well between the pair, who wed in 2000. In fact, they haven't been snapped together since they were on a trip to India in January.
And I can also reveal director Guy splashed out on Mayfair boozer The Punchbowl with pals GUY PELLY and PIERS ADAMS INSTEAD of his missus.
The source said: "Guy decided to make the move for the pub without her because he loves it and can't wait to put his sense of style into it."
I hear Madonna will eventually move to New York with kids LOURDES, 11, ROCCO, seven, and adopted tot DAVID, two.
I'm told: "They'll try to keep things under wraps for the moment, but Guy will remain living in London and Madonna is set for New York with the kids.
"Guy will get as much access as he wants because there hasn't been a massive falling-out.
"They're agreeing to part on the best of terms.
"She has finally made the decision to go to America and has instructed her staff to prepare for the move. Everything will go—except Guy."
Friends say Madonna, 49, is now in talks with her PR team to see how the move will affect her career, which has netted her a £220 million fortune and secured her as one of the world's most famous female singers.

Offensive? Report commentI hope this is only rumours. Madonna and Guy suit each other and no other man can stand up to her and she likes strong minded men.
For her and the children, I hope they sorty it out

Offensive? Report commentWhat a shame for the kids, but this has benn coming for a while. If there is no love, there is no point!
Sadly, I think Madonna will end up a very lonely old woman but Guy will have someone else before you can strike a match.
Best wishes to both of them and the kids too.

Offensive? Report commentMadonna seriously needs a reality check. She is a huge bag of narcisstic bs, and with Guy (the positive influence) gone from her life, she would be back to her whoring days, and embarrassing the hell out of her own chldren

Offensive? Report commentWhy do people feel the need to comment on subjects and peoples lives they know nothing about? What happens in a marriage and where they decide to live is up to the individuals. Not even family have this right. Its a sad fact of life marriages break down and a lucky few survive. It should be done without interference whether that person or persons are in the public eye or not. It must be nice to live in some peoples minds that they feel so superior to insult and comment on something so private. Concentrate on putting your own lives and mistakes right. A marriage after all is between two people.

All the best Madge and Ritchie.

Offensive? Report commentMaybe Madonna has just found that, at almost 50, she can't take the hard blows anymore. She can handle the media in the US better than the UK-she knows the game better here. I think it's funny that people assume Guy is a great guy....what do we really know?
Comment number: 107522166
Offensive? Report commentIf Madonna wants to move back to New York I think one of the reasons is to be near her family. If the marriage is strong then they could commute. Or maybe they have just grown apart. Madonna is my icon and I wish her well on what ever she does. I cant believe she is nearly 50! I was 19 when I went to see her at Wembly and now I am going to be 40 this year.

Offensive? Report commentI think that nobody has the right to speculate about what might or might not be happening, this is their private life and it is difficult enough dealing with relationship/marital problems and children without the whole world sticking their noses in. who has the right to judge? certainly not the general public. how would you feel if you were in that situation with the whole world splashing stories and judging?

Offensive? Report commentI have always loved madonna for her "sticking two fingers to the world" style.
She is and always has been a dedicated artist and extreemly hard working.
she has suffered many personal upsets & profesional critical attacks, but she always rises above them.
Her children are her priority,she does a fantastic job as a very hard working performer & mum.
Good on you Madge I am 49 also & have three young children,youngest 5yrs, I have always admired you..
when your young critics grow up, they will understand that your body ages on the outside, despite all creams, tonics, surgery, our spirit of heart & mind is still strong & young.
the mind is strong but the body is weak and age will show.
we all grow old it's a fact of life and Madonna is doing it in style...
her style
Good on ya Madge !

Offensive? Report commentI wish Madonna well in all she wishes to pursue. I admire her greatly, as a performer, choreographer, actress, childrens author. She has shown to the world, set your mind to it and you are possible of anything. 50 is not old, she has more energy in her performing than some of my friends in their late 20's on a Saturday night! As for her husband, he's the one who looks like he's getting old before his time. Judging from their last documentary that was aired a while back, he was the one who liked staying in the pubs singing irish folk songs all day and into the night. There is more out in the big wide world and Madonna has put her name to most pursuits! Reign forever, Madonna, you're the best, always reinventing yourself and the sounds you produce. When was the last time we heard of Guy chasing his dreams and bringing out a new fab film? Tracey, Southampton.

Offensive? Report commentShame about Madge and Guy. I went to see her perform in 2001 at Earls Court just before my own marriage broke up. I remember her dedicating a song to Guy saying that he was the 'love of her life' just before she mounted a bucking bronco!... Shame it didn't last. I think maybe Madonna has a short attention span whilst Guy is just happy on his country estate shooting game. If he's looking for another old bird, he can shoot me down anytime!!

Offensive? Report commentIt never ceases to amaze me how people think they can judge. Madge is talented woman who has many more choices than most because of her talent and wealth. it is the way the world is theses days people move on . if they can stay friends and still be parents to their children all is well

Offensive? Report commentAfter reading the comments posted here,I am amazed at how people can make the comments that they have.Do they live in a closset in Madonna and Guys house,or spy on them from behind a tree,and why make comments on their age,life doesn't stop because your rich and famous.Their marriage is no concern to the media,or Joe public,so let them deal with it in privacy, they are 2 grown up people that can make grown up decisions,they will both make sure that the chidren are ok. I am sure of that.Right or wrong I wish them both well whatever they decide.Best wishes to the both of them and goodluck,Hope the media just leave you alone!

Offensive? Report commentIt's a shame when any marriage breaks down and there are kids involved. However, if they've fallen out of love I don't see the benefit of staying together. People say they should give it a chance because of the kids. However who's to say that if they stay together things wouldn't get worse for everyone - including the kids. They wouldn't want to see their parents get to the stage of feeling trapped and arguments ensuing. Hopefully the inferred break up of Madonna and Guy will be as amicable as anticipated. However, the commentss that Madonna will never find another man at her age and she'll end up a lonely old woman find a bit condescending. Who's to say she would ever want another man! She's a strong woman and i'm sure that whatever she wants in the future she'll get. I wish her and Guy all the best- what ever happens.

Offensive? Report commentthey were really good together. guy was a good influence on her. hope they can work things out. btw this thing about being 'in love' is just idealistic and immature. being 'in love' turns into just plain simple 'love'. why does it always have to be rose tinted specs? everyone needs a best buddy that they can also be physically intimate with.
