Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie are ending their almost-eight-year marriage, a rep for the singer confirmed Wednesday.
“The main concern for Madonna and Guy are their children - the security of their children in all senses of the word and the wellbeing of their children,” rep Liz Rosenberg tells PEOPLE. “That’s the priority for both of them moving forward. It’s a sad situation.”
The former couple, who have Rocco, 8, and David, 3, together and Madonna’s 12-year-old daughter Lourdes with ex Carlos Leon, announced their divorce in a statement.
“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven-and-a-half years of marriage. They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time,” says the statement.
The statement says they have not agreed to a settlement.

She is a weird,,,, She gets caught cheating,,,pays her way out of it,,She has every right to her opinion but to stand up and spout things about someone running for office the way she did is unamerican,,,the only thing she has run for is another mans arms. She could be such a role model?
Maggie,
sounds like have a crush on Guy!…well now that Madonna has used him and is divorcing him you can goan suck his dick.
Guy is a whore.he’s been doin it with M for almost 8years and now he wants her money.
I don’t recall asking if you have a real man or not.
I did say to come up with something better than calling her a whore. I see you can’t.
I have a real man, Sarah. Probably unlike you Go lick Madges’ well worn pussy if you’re so into her.
it wasn’t my intention to feed the trolls
but…
if you want more of my ” bullshit ” then open wide…
and prepare to receive
the trolls i am commenting about know who they are
(i need only wait for them to reply)
you know you need it, you know you want it
now…take it troll(s)
where are all my trolls at?
come on….i’m wating*
Shardy you constantly do write bullshits and im proud to be bothered to reply to your crap nonsense.
So you’re in the head of every “real” man in the world, huh, Maggie?
Why don’t you come up with something original if you’re going to insult Madonna. Calling her a whore has been done, numerous times. It’s old.
Why don’t you dig deep into that closed mind of yours and come up with something better than that bullshit you like to spew.
And I’d really like to see the pictures or videos you all have of her actually cheating on Guy. Oh, we’re just going to trust the press? I forgot, they’re interested in the truth, not money.
Madonna couldn’t give a fuck about her fans. You are all too stupid to see it.
My best wishes to Guy. I hope he bleeds her dry, coz she couldn’t keep her legs shut. Shes a freakin’ hypocrite
An A Class whore
It’s funny that no REAL men fancy her, coz she’s a freak
No REAL man would want to go near her fishy pussy (which is probably all saggy and well worn out by now)
I hate to be happy for this sad situation I really like people leave them alone without making bad statements about our queen as involved a 3rd part to the picture as A-Rod. I know that Madonna is a smart, hard, lovable and great woman. She’ll know what the best for her and for her family, and to NOW she’s a great mother and she’s the greatest music artist of our life time. And I agree with the new statements on many of Madonna’s fans web as “The queen of pop doesn
I saw some one M’s new pics in New York and for some reason she looks soooooo beautiful!
i think we dont need to worry about Madonna or her kids.they’ll be just fine.
I dont know if Madonna was seeing A-Rod or not but i gotta tell ya he’s a leadies man!…so if she’s been havin sex with him,then good for her!
Anyways,if you wanna hear the latest about Madonna just turn the TV on! she’s everywhere!
THE BORING AND STUPID YEARS IN UK
ITS OOOOVER !! WHOOOHOOOO !!
!!!!!!!WELCOME MADONNA TO USA !!!!!!
*Yawn*
Expressing ones opinion is not the same as trolling.
Rather, I try to make people calm down with their “Madonna’s like this.. Madonna is like that” - or “Guy is this sort of person”. They -including I- only know what the media feeds us.
And your claimed insight? Wow. Undocumented claims about seconds spend in company with a famous person… Isn’t that exactly what’s the corner stone of the British tabloid press? C’mon.
I love Madonna, but damn I hate fans, like you, that think they are in the private sphere of Madonna because they’ve bumped into someone or bought every piece of item with the word “Madonna” on it.
Oh, and for trolling. This is my *second* comment on this blog. Ever. So fack you.
Kim:
you proclaim i “don’t know anything”
my personal experience is is a wealth
more than you can, or will ever know
stop validating my opinions with your hypocritical replies,
you give yourself away when you do that
face some facts here,
if you truly thought my comment was ” bullshit ”
then you would not have even bothered to reply
it seems to be the case,
you like to troll around for some juicy bits
to satisfy your own ego,
there you are Kim,
you are the troll here - and you have been fed
now go on…eat it Kim
(you know you want to - - you know you will)
Incredible how many people who thinks they “know” who Guy is or who Madonna is and what’s it’s “really” like for them when they’re alone.
No, having spend ten seconds in an elevator with Guy is NOT your validation to insights.
Face it .. you don’t know anything.
And I agree, sadly, that yeah, this will most likely be what fuels a new classic from Madonna, perhaps not unlike Like A Prayer and Ray of Light.
Good luck to Madonna.
shardy, do you actually believe the bullsh*t you spout? Unbelievable.
Madonna is a greedy, self-absorbed celebrity. This is exactly what she did to her brother Christopher, just in a different way. Guy was way too good for her. He was an excellent father and family man. Madonna has turned her life into a circus. Sad for the children.
Thank God Madonna got rid of that dead weight! Guy would be nothing without her. She deserves much better than a ignorant pathetic excuse of a director and man. Now my Madonna can come back to life without the bum dragging her down.
finally…
M has come to her senses
i understand this is painful for M, and her children
however,
life goes on, people learn and deal with this
type of pain everyday, and become stronger
for it, and become wiser for it as well
M is better off when she is NOT
locked down or bound to one person
i hope M NEVER remarries, M is at her best when she
is not bound by any social obligations and marital bindings
M can love a person WITHOUT having
to declare in on paper or in front of a group of people
to be recognized by ” god ” and all that other nonsense
i do think M and her soon to be ex-husband will
part their marriage as friends, and will remain as such
i don’t feel her next ex is a gold-digger
i once ran into mr. ritchie in an elevator, i had a chance
to see him up close and personal, if it had not been for the
deep green track suit he was wearing, he would have blended
in perfectly with the pale, boring elevator walls
i never knew what M saw in her soon to be ex
they seemed like they were mis-matched,
love can be blind and equally odd that way
i don’t know if this pending divorce will validate the A-Rod
rumors that had been so talked about a few months back
but if that in fact is the case,
i can’t blame M for trading up by becoming
interested in Alex Rodriquez, A-Rod is as genuinely
enigmatic, as he is handsome and eye-catching
i don’t think M is going to rush into
a high profile relationship with anyone right now
M is going to concentrate on her children,
and finishing up her Sticky & Sweet tour
then M will move onto the next phase of her life
which hopefully, will NOT include being tied to one
person in the suffocating bounds of ” holy matrimony ”
M is best when she is free to be free
of course it is sad…she obviously love him…in american life she sang….im not myself when ur around…when ur around i dont know who i am…im not my self at all…I always wished that I could find Someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I
was special too…
It`s not easy BE madonna…
around 10 years ago she said: i wanted a child , not a man ^^
this is truly sad, but on a lighter note I bet some great music will come from this…remember, Ray of Light came after Lola was born and Rocco followed Music. She always seems to make great hits after going through intense life experiences. I never was a huge fan of Guy, he seemed to stifle her a bit. I heard there was no pre-nup, could get messy!
I think that it’s the best solution, because Mad and Guy always have nothing in common. Of course it is really sad news, and the most sad thing is now their children, but in my opinion thats the best solutions:)
P.S. i know that my English isn’t expresive:)
