Madonna And Guy Ritchie To Announce Divorce 'Imminently': Report
British tabloid says couple will split before their eighth anniversary in December.
By Gil Kaufman
Just months after Madonna denied that her marriage was in trouble, a British tabloid is reporting that she and husband Guy Ritchie are set to announce their split, "imminently."
The Sun reported on Wednesday (October 15) that a "highly placed source" confirmed that Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, "just couldn't live together any more" and could "no longer bear to live with the pretence" of being a happily married couple.
While the singer's longtime publicist, Liz Rosenberg, could not be reached for comment, her London-based publicist told Reuters, "No comment."
Ritchie was not on hand in New York on Monday night at the premiere of Madonna's directorial debut, "Filth and Wisdom." When MTV News caught up with the singer at the event, she seemed in good spirits and showed no signs of any strife, though she did take time to explain her recent string of disses to Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
When similar rumors about a divorce emerged earlier this summer — including allegations that Madonna had become involved with New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez — the couple, who have been married for almost eight years, denied the reports.
