Madonna And Guy Ritchie To Divorce, Part 148
Once again the rumors (or, since she likes to adopt fake accents, rumours) are swirling that singer Madonna and her filmmaker husband Guy Ritchie are ready to call it quits:
The source said: 'They're obviously sad but they're dealing with it like grown-ups. Things have just run their natural course.'The paper reports that the couple will formally announce the split when Madonna's world tour ends on November 29.
The 49-year-old singer is now said to be setting her sights on a fresh start and plans to spend time moving between her plush properties in London, New York and Los Angeles.
Okay, so here's my question...why wait?
Look, I don't like divorce either. I think entirely too many marriages end way too early before people really have a chance to try and work things out, and I think this is doubly true in the celeb world. Famous people tend to end their marriages before they've really begun.
But Madonna and Guy have been together, in some form or another, since 1998. We aren't talking newlyweds here. And while perhaps this marriage could be saved, if the two people involved are reportedly amicable with one another but firm in their decision, then why put off the inevitable?
I know somebody is going to say, "Well, it's for the children." Got news for ya...kids know more than we think they do. Lourdes is a teenager now, and she's undoubtedly figured out a few things. Children know when their parents are unhappy, and they know when a marriage is strained, so why continue to slowly and agonizingly pull off the bandage?
