Madonna: “I’m Sad About My Personal Life”
In her first interview since her divorce, Madonna admits her split from Guy Ritchie has been tough.
“I’m sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life,” she told The Associated Press on Sunday.
As she continues on her Sticky & Sweet tour, she said her heavy workload “provides a distraction that keeps me going.”
She added, “It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do.”
Ritchie is also staying busy, as he films Sherlock Holmes in London.
On Friday, in a one-minute London court proceeding, the two were granted a preliminary “quickie divorce.” Their split will be finalized in six weeks and a day.
According to a court document, Madonna, who acted as the petitioner, said in a sworn statement that she is divorcing Ritchie for his “unreasonable behavior.”
The two ended the split amicably: British press reported that Rocco, 8, and David, 3, will split time between the U.S. and London, while Lourdes, whose father is Carlos Leon, will live with her mother.
Madonna will also keep the bulk of her estimated $500 million fortune.
