Guy Ritchie spills it out after long. The Hollywood director says that he is still in love with his “retarded” wife.
In an interview with the Esquire magazine’s upcoming issue Ritchie confessed about his emotional weakness towards his ex-wife, Madonna. All of it was not really complimentary though. “I still love her…but she’s retarded too“, said the famed director.
He also added Praising about the diva, “Put Madonna up against any 23 year old, she’ll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad“.
The couple were having severe problem for a long time and finally called it an end after remaining married for 8 years. Ritchie and Madonna opted for a divorce in last December. The couple shares the custody of their two sons – nine year old Rocco, who is their biological son and four year old David Banda whom the couple adopted.
Ritchie, who directed popular films like Rock N Rolla and Snatch, said he was deeply hurt by the divorce. “You can’t tell someone when they’re getting divorced that their pain is an illusion. I’m f***ing telling you, I feel it. I’ve been through that… No one can say you don’t feel that“, said the 41 year old British director.
While performing in a concert in Boston in 2008, Madonna addressed to the crowd and said, “This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall in that category. I know I do“.
Sherlock Holmes, an upcoming remake film of Ritchie, is all set to hit the screens soon with Robert Downey, Jr. in the title role.

A great deal to end up a troubled marriage. Blake Fielder-Civil’s divorce with Amy would atlast bring some hope for the jailbird husband of Amy Winehouse. Amy is offering a hefty amount to get rid of Blake from her life. Blake was rumoured to create trouble in Amy’s life. Blake was hated and warned by common friends to stay away from Amy because most of them thought Blake to be a money churner. Blake had even threatened Amy to disclose their secrets when they were together.
Amy Winehouse is allegedly offering her jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil a $3.7 million (C2£2.5 million) for a divorce settlement. Fielder-Civil’s (jailed for causing actual bodily harm and perverting the course of justice) lawyers filed papers last month in a bid to bring the couple’s 20-month marriage to an end.
Amy’s present move was said to be sparked by reports linking Winehouse to former rugby player Joshua Bowman during her current sunshine break in the Caribbean. Winehouse originally said she wanted one last attempt to save her marriage. Amy allegedly changed her mind after Fielder-Civil was reported to be seeking half her $22 million (C2£15 million) fortune by claiming he is the inspiration behind her music.
A source(read friend) Winehouse tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, “She wanted to come home but it was too cold. She will instruct lawyers through arranged phone conversations. She wants to settle for half of what she hasearned during their time together, around C2£2.5 million”.

Madonna has paid her ex-husband British director Guy Ritchie up to 60 million pounds ($92 million). The payment is as per their divorce settlement payout. The divorce after eight years of marriage was a pricey one confirmed by Madonna’s spokeswoman on Monday.
The couple’s estimated wealth is $525 million of which most accounts to Madonna. The couple’s final divorce settlement was granted by a British court on November 21. Liz Rosenberg has confirmed that Madonna, 50 had paid Ritchie, 40, between 50 and 60 million pounds ($76 million and $92 million) as part of their divorce. The English country estate, Ashcombe, alone costs about 20 million pounds ($30 million). Madonna’s total payout sum includes the cost of their estate. The tedious fight for custody is yet to be settled. Rosenberg has said that the arrangements for Guy and Madonna’s children has not been done.
Madonna has an estimated album sales of more than 200 million. She has been the reigning success as a singer. Her divorce with Guy Ritchie was announced in October, nearly eight years after their fairytale wedding at Skibo Castle in Scotland.
The multimillion pound (dollar) settlement is calculated to be much more than the high profile payout by former Beatle Paul McCartney to his ex-wife Heather Mills. Guy’s representative has not made any comments and when asked to do so simply declined to expand.
The biggest contested divorce settlement in English history was the 48 million pounds (about $90 million at the time) insurance tycoon John Charman was ordered to pay his ex-wife in 2006. Liz Rosenberg, the spokeswoman for Madonna also said that the couple’s west London pub, the Punchbowl would also remain with Ritchie. Britishers have stated that Madonna has come out with such a massive divorce payout simply because she has no intention to stay in England. U.K.-based entertainment lawyer Ambi Sitham said : “She’s relocating and moving back to New York. It’s money she’s already paid out — what is she going to do, try to sell the houses in a flagging market?”
Liz Rosenberg finally said, “I’d assume it’s one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement…”
