Guy Ritchie and Madonna still getting divorced?

‘They’re getting divorced at the end of the year and are just back-pedalling because they’re worried that the PR situation is getting out of hand,’ says our source.

‘When someone blabbed to the press that Madonna had consulted lawyers, the reaction wasn’t meant to be so hysterical. She was testing the water to gauge the public’s reaction.

‘Nothing formal’s supposed to happen until after her world tour’s over. They’re annoyed at being forced into putting on a public show of unity.'

The movie director’s been taking counsel from his good friend Marco Pierre White, who tellingly has custody of his two boys.

Guy, 39, refuses to let the children – Lourdes, 11, fathered by Carlos Leon, Rocco, 7, and Malawian adoptee David, 2 – be hauled around the world on tour with him getting very little access.
