Lourdes urges Madge and Guy to have 'friendly' divorce
Madonna and Guy Ritchie are reportedly set for an early divorce - after the pop superstar's daughter Lourdes played peacekeeper.
The Material Girl star is said to be close to finalising a formal split from her filmmaker husband after announcing their marriage is over earlier this month.
And the settlement will be amicable - for the sake of Madonna's daughter by her former personal trainer Carlos Leon.
A source tells Britain's News of the World newspaper: "Lourdes is heartbroken. Although Guy isn't her biological dad, she loves him to pieces and loves living with him in London. She wants to visit Guy as often as possible. She's known him for most of her life, after all."
The source insisted that while the couple's other children - Rocco, eight, and adopted three-year-old David Banda - are too young to understand the divorce, Lourdes has begged her parents to keep it friendly, adding: "Lourdes is more worldy wise... and she got very upset. She knows how it might go because of the sometimes strained relationship her mum has had with her birth father."
