The marriage of Madonna & Guy Ritchie is reported to be over.

Madonna was in Boston gigging on her 'Sweet And Sticky' tour.

Back in the UK her estranged husband was also workin on the set of his new film Sherlock. Richey spent the day filming interior shots inside Hatfield House with Robert Downey Jr.

If it goes to court it could be the largest divorce settlement in UK history.

Madonna is estimated to be worth £260 million.

Also to be decided are future custody arrangements for their children. The couple are parents to two sons, eight-year-old Rocco and three-year-old David, the little boy they adopted from Malawi. Madonna's daughter Lourdes by American fitness trainer Carlos Leon has also grown up in the couples UK household.

A spokeswoman for Madonna has insisted the break-up would be handled cordially, without a resort to the courts.
