Madonna and Guy are dunzo, for reals this time
Rumors have been circulating for years now that the Material Girl and her British director hubby Guy Ritchie are soon to split. Now the London Times, a reputable source for once, is reporting that Madge has sought legal advice from divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton. Shackleton recently represented Sir Paul McCartney during his split from Heather Mills, effectively minimizing the damage to Sir Paul’s bank account.
Madonna and Guy have been married for seven years, and according to the Times, they are believed not to have a pre-nup. As a result, Guy may be entitled to up to £50 of Madge’s £300 million fortune.
The pair recently attended the Cannes Film Festival together, but their strained demeanors did nothing to quell the rumors. In photos of the event, Guy looks on the verge of rolling his eyes, while Madonna was uncharacteristically reserved. The two have plenty to clash over. She is ten years his senior, devoted to Kabbalah and a rigorous exercise routine, with plans to adopt more children. Does the Material Girl have the time or even the desire for a husband any more?
I’ve never thought of Guy as a gold digger so hopefully they can deal with this without a bunch of hoopla. It’s sad. I really wanted them to make it though I suspect she isn’t the easiest person to live with. Hopefully he’ll stay in David’s life.
