Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, are spending time in Los Angeles, working on their marriage. Rumours of a rift have been rife for months and intensified after Madonna failed to include Ritchie in her 'thank-yous' at the Brit Awards in February. The couple, who live in London, decided a change of scenery would do their relationship good and have embarked on a trip to California. According to Ritchie's father, it would seem that their plan has worked and they are getting on much better Stateside. In an interview with Closer magazine, John Ritchie, said, "L.A. seems to have helped them. It's easier out there because there is less pressure. They seem to have left the bumps they were having over here behind them." Madonna and Guy Ritchie are said to be working hard at their marriage for the sake of their children. They have a 5 year-old son together, Rocco and Madonna also has a 9 year-old daughter, Lourdes, from a previous relationship with her personal trainer, Carlos Leon. |
