Pre-nups might be "very American," but then Madonna is very American (despite the awkward English accent she puts on from time to time.) And being the shrewd businesswoman she is, no doubt she will pull out all the stops to negotiate a divorce settlement to her advantage--IF the divorce rumors are true.

It's too bad that three children are involved. To do this shortly after adopting another child is very sad. I heard her on a U.S. talk show after giving birth to her second child. The host asked her how things were going and she said "Babies take up a lot of time!" And the host asked, "Well isn't that the point of having them?"

Grow up, Madonna. You're fifty!

grammer teacher needs to shut her piehole!! she knows what folks are saying PLZZZZZZZZZZ!!! By the way, all one needs that is OLD is money!!!

To 3:31, "short" list of men? Hello? Madonna is more dried up than a raisin! She's sed and abused men since she hit NYC back in the days at the Roxy! She used Jellybean Benitez to start her climb up the ladder and has slept her way with whatever man or women she needed to get what she wanted.I never saw what Guy Richie found in her, he seem's to be a pretty decent fellow. The only talent she has beside's the obvious is reinventing herself. Have you ever heard Madonna sing? She can't. She's just good at picking her music and making a scandal everytime she needs to promote something. Shame on ARod, so much money, such a little brain!

Madonna is an amazing legend of our time. I'm sure it is hard being her and being with her. Elvis wasn't easy, ask Priscilla, he liked his women and she likes her men.

Married or not to the father of your children, Lourdes's father usued to be Madonna's bodyguard, is irrelevant. Madonna has had many relationships and Guy Ritchie is simply the latest. I recently heard her talk about her marriage on television and she talked about some of his bad habits, like...leaving his socks on the floor and possibly, that this time, he may have actually picked them up; and that he snores. He can always get help for that or...she can sleep in a different room.
Has she/he or they, ever considered marriage counselling to see if this marriage can survive??
Personally, I don't see what he ever saw in her and....I don't believe it had anything to do with money.
Someone talked about her marriage and family versus going on tour....well Jon Bon Jovi is married, he's got multiple children and he goes on tour and Dorothea, spouse....she understands that. They've been married a very long time, difference is, she was a childhood sweetheart, whereas Guy Ritchie is one in short list of men Madonna's been in relationships with or, married to.
They've been married since 2000, the so-called "7-year 'itch'" has passed.
She may talk about what irritates her about him....what about Madonna, irritates Guy.
I'm not a Madonna fan even though I've heard some of her recent hits, eg. "Four Minutes". Gee, wonder if any of her songs on that album, relate to their marriage.

I wish Madonna would help me get pretty......Can I have a makeover?

If it is true then both are skanks. How do these people explain to their kids what they are doing, they obviously have absolutely no respect for their partner(s)or children. Such a disgrace.

marriage will not always be a bed of roses. as for madonna...its so hard starting a new relationship and then leave it if it doesnt go so well and then start anew again. what does marriage meant really to you madonna? you have been with so many men during your younger years. has anyone of them took you seriously? remember...you have a daughter and who knows...she might repeat the same mistakes you did to your own life and she might do things worser than you did before? isnt that painful knowing that you are a very protective and a loving mom? woman should try to do most of the adjustments when married. man will always be man as the head of the family. so think a 100 times before plunging into a new relationship. of course, its so sweet and lovely on the first few months...lets see after a year or so....hope the guy youve been seeing lately is worthy than your own husband, if in case its true! divorce will greatly affect your kids. besides your already 50 yrs. old my dear. men will only be after your wealth!!

Does anybody think this could just be publicity for her new tour?

I can't believe he's put up with her crap this long. I can't imagine living with her. He's probably meeting her in New York to return his keys and say good riddance. She's a hag.

All you people who enjoy seeing others unhappy are pathetic. It is sad that you have to try and get some form of happiness by hoping others will not succeed. I wonder how your marriage would be if you were followed every day, every second and having people constantly spreading rumors about you. They seem like a normal married couples with real life problems that are trying to make it work. Best of luck Madge and Guy!

Yes, they almost never wore them to begin with.

I don't understand what the fuss is about the wedding rings...they NEVER wore wedding rings. i think i've seen madonna with a wedding ring ONCE, if that. this really is a big mystery. usually all of this talk wouldn't be happening if it were a big false rumour... but the rumbles have been around for years and neither one of them is talking, which makes it more suspicious.

Take another puff and chill out.

not surprised if they divorce! Madonna is an old prude now! Her "Erotica" years are a part of the past and she's a boring, old fossil now! Madonna needs to embrace the skank that she used to be because that was the Madonna that we all loved. you know Lourdes is prepared to rebel against that prude of a mother she has! The prude british fossil Madonna will not be happy when her daughter gets real! just retire already, hag!
