HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Guy Ritchie has some mixed feelings when it comes to reflecting on his ex-wife Madonna.
LONDON — Madonna has reportedly escaped as the winner in a child residency battle with ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
According to the U.K.'s Sun newspaper, the "Material Girl" has been granted the right to a temporary residency shift of the couple's children from London to the U.S.
The ruling allows son Rocco, 8, and adopted Malawian son David Banda, 3, to join older sister, Lourdes, 12, whose father is Madonna ex Carlos Leon, in New York City. A source told the Sun that Ritchie is "gutted but resigned" over the ruling.
"Lourdes was always going to stay with her [mom]. But keeping Rocco and David close to him in London was the only thing Guy really wanted from the divorce," said the source. "He thought he had a real chance, especially as their school is here. He desperately loves those boys and is a devoted dad."
Madonna and Ritchie divorced in November after months of speculation about their marriage.
Despite the setback, Ritchie reportedly vowed to remain close to his children.
"I will make sure they are proud of their English roots," he reportedly assured a close pal.
Ritchie is currently busy filming "Sherlock Holmes" with Robert Downey Jr., while Madonna recently announced plans to extend her "Sticky & Sweet" concert tour.
LONDON — Madonna and Guy Ritchie are disputing the details of their divorce settlement, which were made public Monday by the pop star's publicist.
Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg, told The Associated Press that the "Material Girl" had agreed to fork over between $76 million to $92 million as part of the ex-couple's divorce agreement.

LONDON — Madonna and Guy Ritchie are one step closer to officially being over and done with.
On Friday, the ex-couple was granted a preliminary decree of divorce in the High Court of London, according to The Associated Press.
Known in the U.K. as a "quickie divorce," the pair's split will become official if there are no disputes in the next six weeks and one day.
LONDON — Madonna and Guy Ritchie have officially announced their plans to end their nearly eight-year marriage in a statement sent to The Associated Press by the pop star's publicist.
"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," read the brief statement by the singer's rep, Liz Rosenberg.
The statement, which was co-signed by Ritchie's representative, says the couple has yet to agree to a divorce settlement.
"The judgment of the court would be to try and assess what they came in with and divide what they built up fairly equally," said David Allison, an attorney with the London firm Family Law in Partnership, told AP.
News of the couple's breakup first surfaced in Britain's The Sun newspaper, which said the pair was planning to call it quits because they "can't bear to live with the pretence any longer."
The 50-year-old Madonna, who was married to actor-director Sean Penn prior to her nuptials with Ritchie, is currently in the midst of her "Sticky and Sweet" concert tour in the U.S., while Ritchie, 40, has been busy filming "Sherlock Holmes" in France.
Sources told the Sun the couple has been arguing over the amount of time each spends on their individual careers, as well as Madonna's desires to adopt again. Madonna and Ritchie have two children, biological son Rocco, 8, and David, 2, whom they adopted in 2006. The pop star also has a daughter, Lourdes, 12, from a previous relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon.
"It's very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn't live together any more," an insider told the Sun.
"Despite huge attempts to patch things up, they both knew deep down that divorce was in the cards," continued the source. "It wasn't a matter of 'if' but 'when.' They tried hard over the past few months, but their fighting was getting out of control."
