MADONNA AND RITCHIE MARRIAGE AT BREAKING POINT?

LATEST: MADONNA's marriage to GUY RITCHIE is reportedly at breaking point, with the filmmaker allegedly growing increasingly fed up of the pop star's controlling ways. The celebrity couple - who are said to have fallen out over the controversial adoption of Malawian tot David Banda last year (06) - have recently (May07) appeared in public as the perfect family, but pals say the relationship is so strained, they have stopped sharing a bed. A source tells Britain's News Of The World newspaper, "They're even spending more and more nights in separate bedrooms. They're a united front when their children are involved... But behind closed doors they barely speak." The close friend also claims Ritchie is sick of being known as 'Madonna's husband', and is worried her fame is overshadowing his own profile as a movie director. The source adds, "Guy worries he is turning into Mr Madonna... Guy thought it was ridiculous she was going straight back to Malawi with a film crew. At first Guy thought it was a good idea. But then it turned into the Madonna show and he hated the way David's adoption was used to generate publicity." To make matters worse, the couple are also fighting over where they should live - with Madonna wanting to abandon their London home and start a new life in the US. Friends of the celebrity pair say, "Madonna's been desperate to go back to the States for a while, but Guy wasn't happy about moving."
