An onlooker said: "Guy was smiling and in good spirits. He still spends time with Madonna as a family." This was reportedly the second weekend in a row the estranged couple have met at the Kabbalah centre with their children: Rocco, eight, adopted son David, three, and Madonna's daughter Lourdes, 12.Guy's father, John Ritchie, has recently said the couple are maintaining an amicable relationship because of their children, but he is delighted Madonna is distracting herself with "lots of boyfriends".

The protective father, 79, said: "The worst thing would be if they reconciled." Meanwhile, the marriage of one Madonna's reported love interests, baseball star Alex Rodriguez, has officially ended.

Documents issued at a US county court stated his marriage to Cynthia was "irretrievably broken". Rodriguez - known as 'A-Rod' - split from his wife of five years in the summer, following reports the sportsman had been dashing out for night time visits to Madonna's New York apartment.
