Madonna Will Be Learning "New" American Accent



Madonna and Guy Richie to announce a split in 18 months


Madonna and Guy Richie’s marriage is on the rocks - and the pair are to announce a split, it has been claimed.

Rumors that the marriage was in trouble were further fueled this week when Richie, 39, failed to make an appearance at Madge’s induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.

And friends fear that they’ll go their separate ways - but will hold off announcing the decision for 18 months.

A source said: “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 has 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.”

“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.”

Rumors of a marriage breakdown have been rife for some time, and the pair - who married in 2000 - haven’t been photographed together since their trip to India in January.

Madonna is set to relocate to New York with her three children, Lourdes, 11, Rocco 7, and two-year-old David Banda - who the Material Girl adopted from Malawi in 2006.

Adds the source: “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 multi million dollar fortune and secured her as one of the world’s most famous and wealthiest female singers.

They carve out a date to do it? Uhhh.

I don't want them to break up :(
_cheshire 16th-Mar-2008 05:58 pm (UTC)
i am rather amused by this for some reason.
blevo81 16th-Mar-2008 05:59 pm (UTC)
that sucks she's more concerned about how this is going to affect her career
sexy_preserved 16th-Mar-2008 06:02 pm (UTC)
i know right. that's one of the many reasons why i can't stand her ass.
sugary_placenta 16th-Mar-2008 06:12 pm (UTC)
But isn't that true about EVERYTHING in Madonna's life?
where_i_begin 16th-Mar-2008 06:38 pm (UTC)
How do you know she's "more" concerned?

I don't think its that.
I think its that, she's already losing her husband, she doesn't need to lose her career too. And considering "going down seperate paths with careers" is the larger part of the split, I think its been certainly determined that careers are #1 priority with eachother besides the kids.

Why wait 18 months to officially announce it? That makes no sense.
tammyinlalaland 16th-Mar-2008 06:36 pm (UTC)
Some places require a period of time where the couple are not living together or having sex before they can file for divorce Maryland it is a year for example)

She also probably doesn't want to taint the hype of her new album, which she'll be promoting for at least that long.
bangbangusuck 16th-Mar-2008 05:59 pm (UTC)
Madonna has outstayed her welcome
sexy_preserved 16th-Mar-2008 06:03 pm (UTC)
i agree

false
profetacinque 16th-Mar-2008 05:59 pm (UTC)
Well, I love her and hope she finds her happiness.
allinred 16th-Mar-2008 05:59 pm (UTC)
I never understood why she married him. He's a mockney idiot.
edie_finneran 16th-Mar-2008 07:20 pm (UTC)
He was the coolest thing in the entertainment business for about 2 seconds and she obviously thought it would suit her career to know him/be romantically involved with him. That's what she's always done with her music career, anyway.
barbar3lla 16th-Mar-2008 05:59 pm (UTC)
I really doubt this. Who could possibly plan a seperation 18 months in advance?
britbritspears BREAKING NEWS!16th-Mar-2008 05:59 pm (UTC)
MADONNA & GUY RICHIE WILL GET DIVORCED IN AT LEAST 100 YEARS!

Y'ALL
xhorrorxwhore 16th-Mar-2008 06:00 pm (UTC)
Couple things:
Why the hell eighteen months?
You know if Guy is in the process of making a good film, he and Madonna have split...

I don't think it's fair you can adopt children because you have money or because you're married.
unbreakablelife 16th-Mar-2008 08:41 pm (UTC)
So only poor single people should adopt?
xhorrorxwhore 16th-Mar-2008 10:46 pm (UTC)
That wasn't the point at all.
la_petite_singe 16th-Mar-2008 06:00 pm (UTC)
They're planning to split in a year and a half? Only those two.
where_i_begin 16th-Mar-2008 06:40 pm (UTC)
My parents announced last year that they're separating in April of this year, after they sell their house. If this story is even true, I'm sure there are a lot of confidential reasons for this.
simplychristina 16th-Mar-2008 06:01 pm (UTC)
Oh no, they haven't been photographed together for like 6 whole weeks...you know, while she's been busy wrapping up her album.

I don't know if I quite buy it.
jcouture7483 16th-Mar-2008 06:02 pm (UTC)
I wonder what the visitation will be like? will lourdes visit him with rocco even though he's not her father?
metatrix 16th-Mar-2008 06:06 pm (UTC)
um...he's been her father for the past eight years.
jcouture7483 16th-Mar-2008 06:08 pm (UTC)
step-father, she still sees carlos.
sugary_placenta 16th-Mar-2008 06:11 pm (UTC)
Yeah because once a kid gets a step-parent their biological one is automatically excluded from their lives.
sweetnitanitro 16th-Mar-2008 06:04 pm (UTC)
I like the part where she leaves London and goes to live in NY.
jcouture7483 16th-Mar-2008 06:08 pm (UTC)
I know, I'd kill to live in either of those places.
