Madonna
Marriage Not in Trouble
3/18/08
Madonna's publicist has hit back at reports the pop superstar's
marriage to moviemaker Guy Ritchie is in trouble, insisting the couple is
"joyfully" back together after separate promotional commitments
kept them apart.
The marriage came under intense scrutiny last week (10Mar08) when
Ritchie failed to show up at New York's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
induction ceremony, where his wife was honored.
This was the latest of several events the couple had failed to attend
together, prompting scurrilous reports they'd split.
But Madonna's longtime publicist Liz Rosenberg has attempted to end the
rumors and speculation by issuing a press statement.
She says, "I am delighted to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ritchie
remain happily married.
"Though they were in different countries recently - Madonna in the
U.S. doing promotion for her upcoming album Hard Candy and Guy finishing
up post production on his new film RocknRolla, as well as completing a
Nike commercial and working on several scripts in England - the family are
joyfully back together at home in London.
"All is well and wonderful in the Ritchie household."
