The Material Girl and her Guy 'Finally' Divorcing

It is now being confirmed that pop star Madonna and her husband, the film director Guy Ritchie, are to divorce very soon. Reports in The Sun newspaper this morning say that the couple, who have been married for almost eight years, are to announce their split imminently.

However Mr Ritchie, 40, once rebutted suggestions his marriage was over with a public show of support at Madonna's 50th birthday party in August and gave a US magazine interview in July saying: "My marriage is fine, as far as I'm aware of." Madonna is currently in New York in the middle of her Sticky and Sweet tour. The pair married in December 2000 at Skibo Castle in the Scottish Highlands.

They have two sons together, seven-year-old Rocco and David Banda, who was adopted from Malawi amidst much controversy last year. The singer also has an 11-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from an earlier relationship.
