Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s marriage is reportedly on the rocks and they couple is said to be planning to announce their separation. Although there have been rumors about their troubled marriage for a while now, rumors were fueled again when Ritchie was a no-show at his wife’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Friends think they’ll go their their separate ways but won’t make an announcement of their split for 18 months. A source said:

“Madonna and Guy are over. It’s all very amicable. They’ve just fallen out of love with each other. They just think it’s for the best as after some great years together they’ve been going their separate ways. Madonna has been recording her new album Hard Candy and Guy has been trying to focus on putting a decent film out, so they are heading down different paths. Guy has failed to show up at events which are important to Madge. He just hasn’t taken as much interest as he has previously in what she’s doing.”

Madonna is also set to relocate to New York with her three children, Lourdes, 11, Rocco 7, and two-year-old David Banda - who the Material Girl adopted from Malawi in 2006. The sourced added:

“They’ll try to keep things under wraps for the moment, but Guy will remain living in London and Madonna is set for New York with the kids. Guy will get as much access as he wants because there hasn’t been a massive falling-out. They’re agreeing to part on the best of terms. She has finally made the decision to go to America and has instructed her staff to prepare for the move. Everything will go—except Guy.”

Even though this isn’t a shocker, it’s still sad because they have children and she’s planning to move away.
