London
(ANI):
Pop
singer
Madonna
and
Filmmaker
Guy
Ritchie
will
soon
be
filing
for
divorce
since
they
'can't
bear
to
live
with
the
pretence
any
longer',
according
to
reports.
The
celebrity
couple
has
reportedly
decided
to
call
it
quits
publicly
after
firing
a
row
of
arguments
at
each
other,
including
the
amount
of
time
each
devotes
to
their
careers
and
Madonna
desire
to
adopt
another
child.
Though
the
pair
is
said
to
have
made
attempts
in
the
past
to
resolve
their
growing
issues
but
things
have
gone
out
of
their
hands
and
the
couple
is
allegedly
desperate
for
divorce.
"They
just
couldn't
live
together
any
more," the
Sun
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
"Despite
huge
attempts
to
patch
things
up
they
both
knew
deep
down
that
divorce
was
on
the
cards.
They
tried
hard
over
the
last
few
months
but
their
fighting
was
getting
out
of
control,"
the
source
added.
Friends
of
the
50-year-old
mum
revealed
that
the
singer
wanted
to
wait
till
her
'Sticky&Sweet' world
tour
was
over
but
now
both
cannot
wait
to
get
rid
of
each
other.
The
source
said:
"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."
Married
for
seven
years,
the
singer
and
her
Brit
movie
director
were
also
said
to
be
arguing
over
their
career.
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."
On
the
familial
issues
of
their
kids
having
to
move
from
one
place
to
another,
the
source
further
revealed:
"Guy
wants
Madonna
to
stop
uprooting
them
and
let
them
stay
in
one
place." Though
Madonna?s
rep
declined
to
comment,
a
statement
confirming
their
split
is
said
to
have
been
prepared
already
and
will
soon
be
released.
