Madonna and Guy Ritchie 'have no plans to divorce'

Rep says the singer and her husband are not splitting

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are not splitting up

Madonna has rubbished reports that her marriage to Guy Ritchie is on the rocks.

Her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg flatly denied the couple are headed for divorce.

'Madonna's husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving),' she said in a statement.

'There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.'

She also rubbished reports that the singer has been getting close to baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

'Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary,' she said. 'They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week.

'There's really not anything to comment on beyond that. It's nothing new that people are airing tons of dirty laundry Madonna's way lately – much of it untrue.'

Madonna, 49, is mum to Lourdes, 11, from a previous relationship.

She has son Rocco, 7, and adopted David Banda, 2, with Guy, 39.
