You must be living under a rock or in some cave if you haven’t already learned that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing after 8 years of togetherness, but here’s something you may not know: soon-to-be former Mr. Madonna may be seeing someone already.

Isn’t gossip a wonderful thing? Gets your mind off things for a little while. So let us indulge in some Madonna-Guy Ritchie rumors. It’s better than watching a soap.

The pop superstar and the British director finally confirmed earlier this month what the press had long and perseveringly been speculating, that they were divorcing. A statement issued though Madonna’s publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said the couple had “agreed” to end their eight-year marriage.

Nasty stories are of course coming out, about troubles in the Ritchie household, disagreements between the spouses, perennial reasons for discontent, a possible divorce settlement already having been reached (the latter rumor dismissed by Rosenberg a couple of days ago).

The most interesting and recent tittle-tattle involves some post-marriage consolation for Guy Ritchie. The director, who is currently filming “Sherlock Holmes” in Great Britain, is said to be more than friendly with one of his film’s stars, British actress Kelly Reilly.

Not only is Kelly Reilly gorgeous, she is also only 31-years-old, almost two decades younger than Madonna, a decade younger than Ritchie.

Reilly has appeared in films such as “Mrs. Henderson Presents,” with Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins, “The Libertine,” with Johnny Depp, “Pride & Prejudice,” with Keira Knightley and French films “L’Auberge Espagnole” and “Les Poupées Russes.” She is also an accomplished stage actress.

Us Weekly reports that just three days after the couple announced they were divorcing, Ritchie was spied checking into a Chatham Hotel where Reilly also happens to be staying.

Long before Ritchie was rumored to have eyes for other ladies than his wife, Madonna was linked with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Speculation was so insistent that the two were having an extra-marital affair this summer that Madonna even went the length of dismissing such hearsay in a statement. Rodriguez has meanwhile divorced.

Us Weekly further reports that 8-year-old Rocco, Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s only biological child, was photographed Monday by paparazzi wearing a Yankee t-shirt. The photo appeared in British tabloids and apparently upset Ritchie greatly.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are also parents to Lourdes, 12, from a previous relationship of the singer’s, and David Banda, 3, whose adoption from Malawi was finalized earlier this year.

The iconic singer is currently in the middle of her Sticky and Sweet tour in the US, while Ritchie is filming in the UK.
