Madonna and husband Guy Richie are set to divorce, according to reports at The Sun.

The announcement comes on the heels of a series of arguments, time spent apart, difficulties surrounding Madonna wanting to adopt another child and summer rumors that she was having an affair with New York Yankee, Alex Rodriguez.

A source told the Sun, “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’. They tried hard over the last few months but their fighting was getting out of control.
The final straw came before Madonna started her US tour. Madonna wanted a highly stage-managed separation, with their split
being announced when it was convenient for her. She didn’t want the distraction while she is trying to concentrate on her tour.
But a series of rows around Guy’s 40th birthday last month were so bad that Madge ended up storming out of the house and Guy’s had enough.
Guy said if they were going to split, it has to be now — and their marriage will finally be over in a matter of weeks."

Madonna and Guy Richie have one son together, Rocco. Madonna has two other children, daughter Lourdes and an adopted son, David Banda.
