Guy Ritchie and Madonna 

Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie are to divorce in London on Friday, according to the High Court where so-called “quickie” divorces are formalized.

The case was listed on Thursday under the names Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S and will be heard before a judge in the High Court’s Family Division.

Both are entitled to attend the court, although in most high-profile celebrity cases people choose not to.

The couple announced last month that they had agreed to finish their eight-year-old marriage, ending intense speculation over the relationship.

The word from the British press today is that the former lovebirds have come to an amicable agreement on the terms of their divorce, with Ritchie reportedly refusing to take one penny of the Material One’s massive fortune, valued in the $400 million-$500 million range.  What a guy!

Per the London Evening Standard, Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, will share custody of their two children, 8-year-old Rocco and 3-year-old adopted son David. The kids will split their time between New York, where the pop queen is taking up full-time residence, and the director’s home in London.

Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes, who she had with former personal trainer Carlos Leon, will continue to live with her.
