A highly-placed source told The Sun: “It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together any more.”
“Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards.
The source said: “Lately Guy has been putting his foot down about a lot of stuff.
“He is sick of his career taking a backseat to hers and was determined to spend as long as he had to promoting RocknRolla here, even if it meant being away from Madonna rehearsing in the US.”
They went on: “When Madonna first moved to the UK, she loved the idea of becoming an English rose. But slowly it turned sour. She decided she hated hunting and quickly dropped her ‘hobby’ of going for a pint of bitter with Guy in the local pub.
“She doesn’t have many friends here and as she has turned 50 she has become very philosophical and started wondering what it’s all about.”

I think most people would admit they’re surprised these two even made it this long. They’re so different. He’s 40, she’s 50. ARod, Alex Rodriguez was seen coming and going from Madonnas New York apartment on several occasions beginning in July, and while the two have insisted they are simply friends. Yeah right!
