Madonna and Ritchie happy
According to the joint statement issued by the Ritchie’s publicist, Madonna and Ritchie are “happy” about their divorce agreement.
But an earlier statement released to the press suggesting the singer paying Ritchie 50 pounds was “misleading and inaccurate”, they added. The Associate Press News Agency had quoted Madonna’s US spokeswomen Liz Rosenberg on Monday. The new statement said, the settlement details would “remain private”.
Ms Rosenberg had told AP on Monday that Ritchie had been given $76m-$92m and that the figure included the value of couple’s Ashcombe House estate on the Wiltshire/Dorset border. Custody of the couple’s children have yet to be worked out, she added. She also said “I assume it is one of the largest payouts ever in divorce”.
In the new statement released by Ritchie’s representatives on Wednesday, the couple said, “We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interests”.
