Madonna and Guy Ritchie are scheduled to announce their divorce within the next 48 hours, according to tabloid reports.
British tabloid The Sun reports the couple is set to release a statement confirming the end of their marriage as they “can’t bear to live with the pretence any longer.”
“The amount of time each devotes to their careers” has made their relationship get worse as it often causes them to get involved in heated “shouting matches.”
“Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’,” a “highly-placed source” says. “They tried hard over the last few months but their fighting was getting out of control.”
The pop superstar and her filmmaker husband have been dealing with rumors that their eight-year marriage is coming to an end since the beginning of the year. As of late, the singer was accused of having an affair with New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriquez.
Madonna’s high-powered spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg flatly denied her celebrity client had an affair with A-Rod, saying, “Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary. They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There’s really not anything to comment on beyond that.”
Meanwhile, the 50-year-old Queen of Pop is in the middle of her Sweet & Sticky world tour and the 40-year-old film director has allegedly postponed work on his new Sherlock Holmes movie to speak to his parents about the break-up. Both parties hope to have a divorce finalized by Christmas.
