We were still keeping everything crossed that this was just another rumour, but, alas, it has now been OFFICIALLY confirmed by Madge's publicist that Madonna and Guy WILL be getting a divorce.
An official statement from the couple is expected later this evening.
Liz Rosenburg, who has worked with Madonna for many years, said in a statement, co-signed by a representative of film director Guy Ritchie, that the couple had not agreed a settlement.
Here is the statement:
"Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7 and a half years of marriage. They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet."
So, there you go, it's official. And we're all feeling a bit sad...
It's official!
