Washington, Dec 11: Pop diva Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie are reportedly heading to the Maldives, in a desperate bid to save their marriage.
The Material Girl and her husband will stay on a private island in the Maldives for two weeks with Madonna's daughter, 10-year-old Lourdes, and their sons Rocco, six, and adopted tot David.
"It's make or break. They even argued over where to go, so things aren't good. "Guy has let slip their marriage which is hanging by a thread. It's sad," a source was quoted by the NewsOftheworld, as saying.
The couple’s relationship has hit upon a rough patch and only two weeks away from their sixth wedding anniversary, they had a furious row in front of stunned diners at the exclusive Italian restaurant Cecconi's in Mayfair.
Fellow guests were shocked to hear film director Guy, 38, attacking his wife for being so "controlling" all the time. Pop queen Madge, 48, meanwhile looked miffed as she sat at the table toying with her food. The Lock, Stock ... director later emerged stony faced from the London restaurant, while the superstar singer just looked drained.
"The atmosphere between them was more than frosty. Guy was the one who was raising his voice the most - you couldn't help but hear what he was saying," a customer was quoted by the Mirror, as saying.
"They were sitting in a corner booth and he was telling her that he'd had enough of her being so controlling all the time and that something had to give. Madonna tried to give it back to him, but he would just talk over her. She just seemed really embarrassed. They didn't enjoy their meal and left after about an hour and a half," he added.
The row came less than a week after it emerged the couple were planning to see marriage therapist Tricia Barnes as the cracks deepened in their six-year marriage. Two months ago the couple were celebrating the adoption of Malawian orphan David Banda.
But despite their devotion to the toddler and children Lourdes, 10, and Rocco, six the marriage is said to have hit an all time low. An insider said: "Guy and Madonna both dote on David, but her attitude can irritate and upset Guy. "She drove the whole adoption thing and Guy was just left trailing in her slipstream just nodding and going along with things. "The bottom line is that Guy sometimes feels he's not allowed to have an opinion."
Meanwhile Madonna came under fire from animal rights protesters after she was spotted leaving the restaurant in a œ35,000 fur coat made of 40 dead chinchillas. A spokesperson for the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals said: "We hope Madonna's acts of kindness in Africa move her to extend her compassion to animals." (ANI)
