Guy Ritchie begs Madonna for a second chance

RocknRolla director desperate to change Queen of Pop's mind over divorce

Madonna and Guy Ritchie married in December 2000

Guy Ritchie is said to have pleaded with his wife Madonna to give their marriage one last go. But the Queen of Pop has her mind set on divorce

‘She was the one to call in divorce lawyers and he’s shaken by how little power he really has,' a source tells Now.

Guy fears that if they divorce he’ll hardly get to see the children –
Rocco, 8, adopted son David, 2, and Lourdes, 11, fathered by Carlos Leon. He thinks it’s inevitable that 50-year-old Madge will move back to the US.

In an attempt to make amends the director – who turns 40 on Wednesday – is trailing around on her 3-month world tour.

But despite his efforts, the couple are more distant than ever. They’ve been sleeping in separate beds and mainly communicate through email.

‘Guy’s panicking that he’s going to lose his kids because Madonna’s threatening to pull the plug on their marriage once the tour is over,' our source adds.

'He’s following her everywhere, telling her again and again how wonderful and talented she is. Madonna blanks him most of the time, but he just takes it.'
