The divorce sped through after the couple struck a deal on property, money and access to their kids. Last night Guy, 40, said: “It dragged on much too long and that had nothing to do with me. But it was never ever about money.”
As The Sun reported last month, Guy will keep the Punchbowl pub in London’s Mayfair and his beloved Wiltshire estate.He will also get a cash payment equivalent to the value of their Marylebone townhouse — around £25million.Film director Guy is worth £30million in his own right and could have claimed as much as half of Madonna’s £300million fortune.He is accepting far less — but reports he was refusing to accept even a penny infuriated the Queen of Pop, 50.A source said: “Madonna is livid that people think he hasn’t asked for a penny when he is walking away with millions.” Their case — Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S — was listed before District Judge Reid today.Their decree nisi was announced at 10am in Court 10 of the Principal Registry of the High Court’s Family Division in High Holborn, central London.A pal said: “It was threatening to become the messiest bunfight in years.”The source said Rocco, eight, and adopted son David Banda, three, will split their time between America and Britain while 12-year-old Lourdes — Madonna’s daughter from an earlier relationship — will live with her mum full-time.[From The Sun]
