Madonna and Guy Ritchie fighting for the holidays
Nothing like Christmas to make bad relationships worse. Madonna and Guy Ritchie are fighting about who will have their sons at Christmas.
Madonna wants Rocco, 8, and David, 2, to spend the holiday in New York while Ritchie wants them at his Wiltshire estate in England.
Ritchie’s Christmas dreams involve a roast turkey and presents under the tree. Madonna, however, plans four hours of Kabbalah with steamed fish and macrobiotic vegetables for lunch.
They’ve been fighting it out like any good Hollywood couple – through their personal assistants.
An e-mail combat commenced this week with no solution in sight.
The Daily Mail reports that both parents are be showering the children with more elaborate gifts despite pledges that they would not spoil them on their first Christmas apart.
A source close to the couple said: “Both Madonna and Guy want David and Rocco on Christmas Day. Under the terms of the divorce, it is actually up to Guy and Madonna to sort out the access. It’s not set in stone who has the boys on which days. The arrangement is that Guy has the boys for a set number of days in the year. It’s a 50/50 agreement but there is a provision that their main residence should be New York.
“The agreement is that Guy gets them four or five days a month in London, but that he can see them in New York, making the time anything up to two weeks a month.”
Surprise, surprise, this is leading to problems.
“Guy wants a traditional Christmas with his parents and the boys at Ashcombe but Madonna has just put her foot down and refused to allow it. She is just digging her heels in saying she want them with her in America. They are at a total stalemate. Madonna and Guy simply do not liaise at all on anything anymore – it all goes through their PAs.”
Madonna’s Kabbalah beliefs mean that she doesn’t want them to have too many presents for Christmas (actually a reasonable sentiment), but the UK paper reports that Madonna sent one of her PAs to go to Hamleys to bag the biggest must-have toys in the shop for the two boys.
“And of course, Guy has also reacted to Madonna’s words like a red rag to a bull. There will be no expense spared,” said the source.
Kids, let’s meet in the middle – reasonable gift-giving and a quality Christmas spread?
