LATEST: Rumours of a split between MADONNA and her husband GUY RITCHIE are refusing to go away - despite the star issuing a statement dismissing speculation about a possible divorce.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie at The 2008 Cannes Film Festival - Day 8 'I Am Because' - Premiere, Cannes, France - 21.05.08
The couple has been under intense media scrutiny amid rumours they are allegedly on the verge of a permanent split.
And the Material Girl's publicist Liz Rosenberg attempted to set the record straight earlier this week (beg30Jun08) - insisting that there are no plans for a divorce.
But the statement has failed to quash speculation about the state of the pair's marriage, with new reports suggesting the star is putting off making an official announcement until after she has completed her upcoming Sweet + Sticky world tour later this year (08).
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Trust me, it's over. Why else would they both consult divorce lawyers? Madonna hates being pushed into a corner and would hate other people having the satisfaction of saying, 'We told you so.'
"The announcement will be slipped out after her tour - as planned."
It would not be the first time the pop star has attempted to keep big news quiet. In 2006, at the height of speculation that Madonna was to adopt a child from Malawi, Rosenberg issued a statement on behalf of the singer vehemently denying the adoption rumours.
Less than two weeks after issuing the denial, Madonna and Guy Ritchie filed adoption papers and brought baby David Banda back to the U.K.
