Madonna Divorce Settlement Reached

Welp, it’s gonna be official! Madonna and Guy Ritchie will be granted a preliminary divorce decree at the High Court in London on Friday. After six weeks and a day, the divorce would be made final.

As to whether or not it was a messy divorce settlement, the various camps are disagreeing:

According to the British press, Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, reached a settlement over money and their kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3. London’s Evening Standard reports that Madonna will keep the bulk of her estimated $500 million fortune intact, though Ritchie was entitled by law to a share of it.

Additionally, Rocco and David will split time between the U.S. and London, while Lourdes, whose father is Carlos Leon, will live with her mother.

“[Madonna] walked away without any of his money, much to her credit,” a friend told the U.K.’s Times. “He has done the same.”

“He could have hugely boosted his bank balance and set himself up for life, but he already feels he has enough money,” another pal told the paper. “He also didn’t want the whole thing dragging on in the public gaze for months and months and, in any case, his priority was the children’s future.”

But a source close to the couple insists that’s not true. “He’s going to get a huge windfall, contrary to what’s being reported,” the source tells PEOPLE. “He’s getting a lot of money from the settlement. He’s not the gentleman he’s portraying himself as.”

My Lord, I can’t wait until Guy Ritchie writes a book — or, better yet, a screenplay! — about this insanity. He probably doesn’t need any of Madonna’s money because he’s going to make so much cash selling her out after this shit is over.

  • oh god…please don’t fuck around like that…

    i’m still not over that Mia /Soon yi/Woody shit.

    gonna give me a heart attack.

  • Sell her out?!!! How could one possibly sell out Madonna? She’s the original, world champion publicity whore. There’s no aspect of her life that she would not make public in order to sell one more concert ticket, or, another CD. Might I remind you of her pathetic, faux-artistic, photographic book “SEX” that she perpetrated upon her gullible public years ago. The only thing that she has not done ( as of yet) to further her career is to have public sex with barnyard animals.

  • i am sure there is a gagging order, i doubt he would anyway he doesn’t seem the type. He’s more london geezer wannabe than kiss and tell biatch.

    Lourdres should totally become amy winehouse and write crazy songs about her crazy childhood.

    Unless, in reality it is very boring.

    ” mother rose at 5am for her usual 4 hour work out, i went along for the experience of what it is like to be a 50 year woman with the body of a teenafer and what it takes – dedication as i learnt. The journey there was fine, but when we left it was past 9am and the sun was up, mother cannot afford to let even one ray of the toxic stuff near her and had to be carried to the car in her led lined coffin, i mean containter. We arrived back at the house, and i drew the black out blinds all over the house, i released mother from the led lined walls of comfort and she went to slather her whole body in creme de la mer, then climbed into her pastic suit, the heat opens her pores and makes the cream more effective, we then ate porridge and prunes before downing our body weight’s worth of water. ”

    fun times.

  • I am being bit pedantic now but that quote is wrong. The “she” it is referring to is not Madonna but Billie Piper, a British actress/singer who took nothing from her much-richer ex Chris Evans when they divorced a few years ago. Madonna is tons wealthier than Ritchie so saying that walking away without Ritchie’s money is to her credit is just gobbledygook. Instead, the Times’ quote refers to Ritchie being like Piper in not cashing in on ex’s wealth.

  • Oa no , Not Madonna, not again,, you just can’t live according to the
    bible can you dear, no matter how many times you get laid. Oa well, in time, no one will be standing in line to get some of it. Be a mother, you never could sing, but I admit, you know how to take your cloths off..
