Madonna and Guy to Divorce

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting a divorce, Madonna's rep confirmed today.

"The main concern for Madonna and Guy are their children – the security of their children in all senses of the word and the wellbeing of their children," rep Liz Rosenberg tells PEOPLE. "That's the priority for both of them moving forward. It's a sad situation."

The former couple, who have Rocco, 8, and David, 3, together and Madonna's 12-year-old daughter Lourdes with ex Carlos Leon, announced their divorce in a statement.

"Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven-and-a-half years of marriage. They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time," says the statement. The statement says they have not agreed to a settlement.

A story in The Sun says that Madonna is worth nearly $600 million and that Guy is worth nearly $60 million, but that Guy doesn't want any of her money. Madonna has hired Fiona Shackleton to represent her -- Fiona represented Prince Charles and Paul McCartney in their divorces. We hope they settle things out of court, because this is going to be a terrible ordeal for their children. Think of little David Banda -- will he still get to spend time with his new daddy? We certainly hope so.
