Just days after Madonna was seen out canoodling with Alex Rodriguez again, the news that her marriage is officially over was announced today.

Madonna and filmmaker Guy Ritchie will end their marriage after nearly eight years, the couple said in a joint statement Wednesday. The couple asked the media to “maintain respect for their family at this difficult time,” said the statement, e-mailed to The Associated Press by Liz Rosenberg, Madonna’s publicist.

You gotta give Madge and Guy credit. They tried everything to save their troubled marriage. I mean, if an intensive Kabbalah course can’t save your marriage, then what can? Oh I dont’ know. How bout not touring the world when your marriage is in trouble and not having an affair with a superstar athlete?

Be prepared to hear about this one for the next year, as these two fight it out over millions of dollars.
