Around 6:30 p.m. the director, who was accompanied by two bodyguards, entered the Upper West Side building where he and Madonna own an apartment.
Rumors that their seven-year marriage is in trouble have been circulating for some time. Adding fuel to the talk, Ritchie, 39, and Madonna, 49, spent the weekend apart – she with their three children in New York, and him in London. Neither of them wore wedding bands.

Last week, the Daily Mirror reported Madonna met with divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney and Prince Charles in their respective divorces.
