Update: Guy has a lawyer too and he's done with Kabbalah for good! (Read)

Madonna and Guy Ritchie enjoyed a three-day break in Italy – but slept in
separate rooms.

The couple – who this week have been dogged by reports their marriage is on
the verge of collapsing – left their children, Lourdes, 11, Rocco, seven and
two-year-old David with a nanny while they visited Milan at the end of last
week.

However, the pair reportedly slept in separate rooms and are said to have
spent very little time together.

A source close to the couple told Britain’s The Sun newspaper:

“They had completely separate rooms, schedules, everything. It was all very well
organized but it’s not a marriage the way most people understand it.

“They have this attitude like, ‘We’re not really a couple but we’re friends
and we love each other and raise our kids.’ But the truth is they annoy each
other, don’t agree on anything, don’t see each other or live ‘together’ as
they did.”

Madonna, 49, used the trip to visit fashion designers to source costumes for
her forthcoming world tour, while Guy, 39, was working on a new commercial
with actor George Clooney.

It was reported yesterday that Madonna had hired Fiona
Shackleton, the lawyer who represented Sir Paul McCartney in his split from
Heather Mills, to handle her and Guy’s alleged divorce.

A spokesperson for the singer has refused to comment on the claims.
