I get the impression that Guy Ritchie’s extended family, and in particular his father, are not big Madonna fans. Not surprising really, considering a significant portion of Madge’s own family don’t like her. Guy Ritchie’s father John is again yapping to the press about how much his son is enjoying being separated.
“He’s been in a very good mood,” his dad, John, exclusively tells In Touch. “I wasn’t upset that they split. I am very pleased for Guy that it is over.”
“Guy is finally starting to socialize in a way that we haven’t seen from him in years,” explains another source, adding that Guy’s desire to see his friends was a big reason behind his divorce. “Madonna had heard that Guy attended a bachelor party, and she became really upset,” says the source. A heated phone argument between the couple prompted Guy to demand an immediate legal separation. “He said, ‘I need to get this divorce going so I can live again.’” Now the only trouble on the horizon is hammering out custody of Rocco, 8, and David, 3. Guy doesn’t want his kids to “live in America permanently,” his father tells In Touch. “He is such a good, positive father, he won’t let that happen.”
Madonna is supposedly dating Yankee Alex Rodriguez, which seems like a rebound fling. I think she hates the idea that Guy could be going straight back to his pleasant London life without her, and begin dating someone younger. Madonna might be rich, famous and talented, but judging by her dress sense, the main thing she’d really like to be is young again.
I also highly doubt that the British courts, who are notoriously fair in a divorce (they gave Heather Mills £24.3 million, remember) will allow Madonna to take her children to America on any kind of permanent basis. Guy can probably prove he has a need to stay in England, but Madonna has proved over the last few years that her career can be managed from the UK without the need to move.

Ahh… good point about the logistics of where the kids should be raised Helen. Madonna may have shot herself in the foot by parading all over the place like she was the next Queen Mum. The courts may very well come back and say she can stay in England or leave without the boys… This should be interesting to watch.
Have to comment on the header pic… That isn’t a very flattering photo of the newly single Don Juan Guy… Blech!
That header pic is hilarious.
E! reported last night that Guy has hired some uber-lawyer, and he’s going to fight for custody of all three kids.
No one likes The Gristle.
Who does she think she is trying to control/deny Guy’s access to his kids and their access to their father? She’s a bloody monster.
With all her stage shows, gym sessions, and self-preening, can she really claim she’s spending any real face time with the children? I truly pity those kids if left without Guy.
all three kids? what claim does he have to lourdes?
the adopted one will never be his….if it ever was, legally
of course he’s enjoying being single again after 8 years with the leotard wearing cryptkeeper. i’ll bet madge is a nightmare in real life.
Poor Guy looks rode hard, put up wet.
