After denying rumors months ago that Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie are having marital problems, their spokeswoman finally announced that the couple are getting a divorce. According to other sources, the couple want everything settled and over with by Christmas. It seems that the 50-year old pop icon wanted to wrap up her world tour before announcing the split.

Madonna and Guy have 2 children, Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3 (adopted from Malawi in 2006). Madonna also has a 12-year old daughter, Lourdes, from her former trainer Carlos Leon. The couple are estimated to be worth $525 million, bulk of which belongs to Madonna. Hope this one will not become as messy as the others. When money is a big issue in a dispute, all hell breaks loose.
