Guy Ritchie is flying to New York to save his marriage to Madonna

Guy Ritchie is flying to New York this weekend in a last-ditch bid to save his marriage to Madonna. The couple hope to get their relationship back on track for the sake of their children.

A source close to them said: “It is make or break time for Guy and Madonna. She is completely focused on rehearsals for her tour in America and can’t come back to London. They want to make the marriage work, but they are at a stalemate. Divorce is something they have thought about.”

It was first revealed last month that the relationship was in trouble. The couple have not been photographed together since June 2 and had looked strained and ill-at-ease in each other’s company.

Over the last six months both film director Guy, 39, and 49-year-old Madonna have consulted lawyers in case of a permanent split.

The singer — referred to as Em by her close pals — has taken informal advice from top divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton. The source added: “Em went to Fiona so that if they do split up, it will be easier to handle all the publicity if everything is in place legally. But at the moment they are both trying to rescue the situation. Em has shown a willingness to patch things up. But because almost all rehearsals for the tour are in New York rather than in London Guy thinks she’s not sacrificing much. He has now decided to fly out there this weekend to try to sort things out.”

Britney Spears Gets Her Babies at Night

She may not be sporting a smile in this picture but trust me, Britney Spears has a got a lot to be happy about. The 26-year old should be celebrating the court’s ruling to allow her overnight visitation rights with her songs Jayden James and Sean Preston. Sean is now 2 ½ while Jayden is 20 months. Britney lost the right to have her children overnight since her hospitalization on January 3rd of this year.
