Melbourne
(ANI):
Pop
singer
Madonna
has
reportedly
spoken
to
estranged
hubby
Guy
Ritchie
for
the
first
time
in
weeks,
after
making
a
desperate
late-night
phone
call
to
him
in
a
bid
to
settle
their
divorce
amicably.
The
50-year-old
singer,
who
raises
three
children
with
Guy,
was
reportedly
encouraged
to
contact
her
estranged
spouse
by
her
Kabbalah
spiritual
leader
Rabbi
Berg.
Berg
wants
the
couple
to
remain
on
speaking
terms
so
the
reputation
of
Kabbalah,
a
mystical
offshoot
of
Judaism,
is
not
damaged.
The
call
was
made
on
October
28
and
in
it
Madonna
spoke
lovingly
of
all
the
wonderful
things
about
their
marriage,
centering
on
the
children
they
had
together.
"Madonna
tried
to
encourage
Guy
of
all
the
good
times,
said
how
they
must
settle
before
it
got
any
more
messy
and
public.
She
said
she
had
always
worked
so
hard
to
provide
for
the
family," the
Daily
Telegraph
quoted
a
source,
as
telling
Mail
Online.
"She
said
she
had
been
saddened
by
some
of
the
criticisms
of
her
which
appeared
to
have
come
from
his
camp.
She
said
the
leaks
of
hurtful
stories
would
only
get
worse.
Guy
stayed
quiet
for
most
of
the
call,
gave
very
little
away
and
at
the
end
said
it
was
now
in
the
hands
of
the
lawyers," the
source
added.
After
the
call,
said
a
source,
Madonna
cried
openly
in
front
of
her
staff
for
the
first
time,
after
the
strain
of
their
bitter
split
took
its
toll.
