It's official! Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting divorced. Rumours have been abounding for months especially after Madonna's hand in baseball glove reported 'affair' earlier in the year.

Pop star Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie are to divorce after nearly eight years of marriage, their PR representatives have confirmed.

Relations were still cordial and they expected to agree a settlement without going to court, added Madonna's spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg.

The statement followed several months of speculation that the couple's relationship was in trouble.

In July, the singer's publicist said the marriage did not "need saving".

The pair appeared together at last month's premiere of Ritchie's RocknRolla in London, walking arm-in-arm and posing for photographs in London's Leicester Square.

I can't believe they are getting divorced! I actually thought they were a good couple, at least they seemed to be anyway. Yet another one bites the dust....
