Madge and Guy -- Officially Splitsville

Posted Oct 15th 2008 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing, their rep has confirmed.

"Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven-and-a-half years of marriage. They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time," says a statement given to the AP.

The joint statement from Madge and Guy's reps emphasizes the couple haven't agreed to any kind of settlement. We're told by sources in London and NYC the matter will most likely be hashed out in London, even though Madge could move to bring the matter to the US if she wanted.

Just to set the scene, Madonna is in Boston, Guy is in the UK, and A-Rod was last spotted in L.A.

The Ritchies are splitting up after 8 years of marriage.

62. Probably if she looked more like a woman and not like a guy (no pun intended) he MIGHT still be with her. Madonna, your 50 let your body have it's woman curves and softness and not so rock hard and veins popping out everywhere. I'm just sayin'.

63. Who cares! She is and always has been a self-absorbed skank! Maybe Guy can think for himself now. The only thing I hope for is that she stays in England. Since she hates America so much and hates our American values the Brits can have her.

65. Yes #55, you are right. He did always look bored with her. If you had to be around someone as self serving as her, you would get bored pretty quickly also.

74. Madonna is SO over. She looks horrible, obviously when she is out on the town she must have hours of makeup to hide her hideousness. She is 50 people!!!! She has the gall to cut down Sarah Palin who is married to the same man forever, and has a family that through their trials and happy times stayed together? She is a fake, phony, old, vein popping woman who needs to go away. But, she won't, she'll be out there dating women and men again trying to get even more publicity.
