The statement issued on Wednesday read: "Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven and a half years of marriage, their representatives confirmed today… A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet."
Madonna and her husband married in December 2000 at Skibo Castle in the Scottish Highlands. They have two sons ??“ seven-year-old Rocco and David Banda, whose adoption from Malawi was approved in May. The pop-star also has a 12-year-old daughter Lourdes, BBC reports.
