Madonna’s rep made a statement today confirming Guy Ritchie and Madonna’s divorce.

“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven and a half years of marriage, their representatives confirmed today,” a spokeswoman said in a statement.

“They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time.”

The couple has reportedly had many shouting matches over careers and over Madonna wanting to adopt another child. All the arguments between Madonna and Guy Ritchie have said to smash through their attempt at reconciliation “like a sledgehammer”.

A source stated to The Sun: “It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together any more.”

Pals say Madge, 50, really wanted to wait until next year after her Sticky and Sweet global tour is finished to divorce.

The source said: “Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’. They tried hard over the last few months but their fighting was getting out of control.

“The final straw came before Madonna started her US tour.

“Madonna wanted a highly stage-managed separation, with their split being announced when it was convenient for her.

“She didn’t want the distraction while she is trying to concentrate on her tour.

“But a series of rows around Guy’s 40th birthday last month were so bad that Madge ended up storming out of the house and Guy’s had enough.

“Guy said if they were going to split, it has to be now — and their marriage will finally be over in a matter of weeks.

“Madonna was dithering at first about whether a separation would be best or whether to go ahead with the divorce.

“She has now agreed with Guy that a divorce is the best thing to do.”

Guy Ritchie is postponing his Sherlock Holmes movie in order to fly to their London home, which Madonna owns, and get his things to move into their Wiltshire home, which he owns.

Madonna flew to New York awhile back with her three children, not planning on returning home: “She was adamant that she was leaving Guy and not coming back.”

But the rumors of Madonna’s divorce began, along with her rumored affair with Alex Rodriguez.

The source said: “Lately Guy has been putting his foot down about a lot of stuff.

“He is sick of his career taking a backseat to hers and was determined to spend as long as he had to promoting RocknRolla here, even if it meant being away from Madonna rehearsing in the US.”

They went on: “When Madonna first moved to the UK, she loved the idea of becoming an English rose. But slowly it turned sour. She decided she hated hunting and quickly dropped her ‘hobby’ of going for a pint of bitter with Guy in the local pub.

“She doesn’t have many friends here and as she has turned 50 she has become very philosophical and started wondering what it’s all about.”

There have many arguments between Madonna and Guy concerning their children as well: Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, two.

The source said: “Guy wants Madonna to stop uprooting them and let them stay in one place.

“It doesn’t help that Lourdes has decided she wants to spend more time with her real father, Carlos Leon, in New York.

“Guy is very keen for Lourdes to have a good relationship with him, but it means Madonna can use that as an excuse to spend more time in America.”

Dancer Carlos has been living in Madonna’s New York apartment for the last few months, overseeing renovations in preparation for the star’s return. During that time they have rekindled a close relationship.

Guy Ritchie was said to have finally agreed to adopt David Banda but does not want to adopt a baby girl as Madonna is hoping.

The source said: “Guy adores David and is glad they went ahead with the adoption. But he doesn’t want to adopt another child when their marriage is rocky. It’s a real bone of contention.

“Everyone agrees it is unfair on the children to witness such terrible arguments and so the divorce has been agreed.”

Thus far, no statement from either of the couple’s reps, but according to The Sun, the divorce plans should be announced shortly.
