After months of speculation that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are ending their eight year marriage, it seems all is finally coming to an end.

The couple had tried their best to put on happy faces and make public outings to ward off the rumors, but the truth is finally coming out. Not to say that they didn’t give it a shot, because reportedly they did.

Complicating the situation is that Madonna wants to wait until the end of her world tour to make it official.

It’s always business first with her, isn’t it?

Apparently Guy grew tired of it all and decided he wants out – now.

The couple’s fighting has gotten so bad that he can’t live with it any longer. The New York Post is reporting that one of the major problems in their marriage is in how they want to raise their children.

Madonna would like to raise them in the states, which daughter Lourdes is also in favor of since her father lives here. Guy, however, would like to raise the children out of the public eye and in his homeland of England. Another issue leading to the marriage’s demise is that Madge wants to adopt again, and Guy is not ready to do so.

Meanwhile, rumors of Madonna’s alleged relationship with Yankee baseball star Alex Rodriguez continue, with the couple being spotted out to dinner as recently as a couple weeks ago.
