Madonna is one of the most iconic pop stars in music history and has been in the public eye for decades. However, her personal life has also been the subject of much scrutiny and speculation. One of the most talked-about aspects of her personal life is her relationship with Guy Ritchie, her former husband, and father to their son Rocco.
Since their divorce, Ritchie has moved on with model Jacqui Ainsley, whom he married in 2015. Madonna's initial reaction to Ainsley was not positive, with rumors circulating that she was jealous and resentful of Ritchie's new partner. However, as time went on, Madonna and Ainsley had to co-parent Rocco together which led to a change in their relationship.
The effects of co-parenting with Ainsley have been significant for the $850 million-worth popstar. She has had to navigate a new dynamic in her relationship with Ritchie while also building a bond with his new wife. This has not always been easy but it seems that they have come to find common ground as mothers who care for Rocco.
A Timeline Of Madonna's Relationship With Director Guy Ritchie
According to People, Madonna and Guy Ritchie's relationship began in a rather unconventional way. The two met in 1998 when Madonna was looking for a director for her music video "Beautiful Stranger."
Ritchie was the perfect candidate for the job, and the two hit it off immediately. However, their early romance was not without its ups and downs. In fact, it seemed like every time they got close, something would come up to push them apart again. Despite this, they remained drawn to each other and continued to see each other whenever possible.
One of the more perplexing moments in their early relationship occurred when Madonna was filming Evita in Argentina. Ritchie came to visit her on set, but things quickly turned sour when he found out that she had been spending time with Antonio Banderas outside of work hours. This led to a heated argument between the couple, which resulted in Ritchie storming off set and leaving Madonna alone in Argentina.
However, their early romance wasn't all drama and arguments. There were also moments of pure joy and happiness between them that made it clear just how much they cared for each other. For example, during a trip to Scotland together in 1999, Madonna fell ill with food poisoning. Despite feeling terrible due to jet lag, Ritchie stayed by her side throughout her illness and even cooked soup for her himself.
Their relationship continued on this rollercoaster ride until finally settling into something more stable around 2000. During this time period, they were often seen out together at various events and public appearances. They also worked together on several projects such as Snatch, which Ritchie directed while Madonna had a small role.
Madonna and Ritchie's meeting and early romance were filled with both bursts of passion and perplexing moments of conflict. Despite these challenges though, they remained drawn to each other throughout it all and eventually settled into a more stable relationship. This early period set the stage for the rest of their time together, which would be filled with even more ups and downs as they navigated marriage, children, and ultimately divorce.
Who Is Guy Ritchie Dating Now?
Following his divorce from Madonna, Ritchie entered into a relationship with model Jacqui Ainsley. According to Daily Mail, the couple met in 2010 and quickly hit it off, eventually tying the knot in 2015. Together, they have three children - Rafael, Rivka, and Levi. While their relationship seems to be going strong, some fans have questioned whether Ritchie will ever settle down for good.
In addition to his high-profile relationships with Madonna and Ainsley, Ritchie has been linked to several other famous women over the years. According to TMZ, he was rumored to be dating actress Trudie Styler prior to meeting Madonna, though neither party ever confirmed the romance. He also had a brief fling with supermodel Elle Macpherson in the early 2000s.
Despite his many romantic entanglements, Ritchie remains something of an enigma when it comes to matters of the heart. Perhaps this is due in part to his famously private nature - unlike many celebrities who are happy to share every detail of their personal lives with fans and followers on social media platforms like Instagram or Twitter, Ritchie prefers to keep things under wraps.
Ainsley has gone on to become one of the lead actresses in Ritchie's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Similarly when Ritchie was dating Madonna in 2002 he cast her as a character named Amber Leighton in Swept Away, his film was met with mostly negative reviews.
How Does Madonna Feel About Guy Ritchie's Girlfriend Jacqui Ainsley?
Madonna has had some scandalous beefs over the years, including one with singer Pink. Does the Queen of Pop have problems with Ainsley, or is she okay with the actress dating her ex?
Madonna and Ainsley have crossed paths on a few occasions. According to Metro, the two came across each other when Ritchie and Madonna met for an art museum gala. They also awkwardly crossed paths at the 2012 premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, when Ainsley was expecting her first child with Ritchie.
Overall, Madonna and Ainsley seemed to have gotten along rather well. There were even pictures of the two smiling when they were talking to each other.
It is clear that there is a deep respect between these two women. Beyond the awkward man they have in common, they both share a passion for their work and strive for excellence in everything they do.
While some may view their respect as simply professional, there seems to be an underlying admiration that goes beyond their appreciation for art. Ainsley is the mother of Ritchie's kids, so of course Madonna could never truly hate her. Especially considering Madonna has moved on with her own beau.
It is evident that Madonna holds Jacqui Ainsley in high regard both professionally and personally. Her admiration for Ainsley's talent shines through in every interaction they have had together. While Madonna had moved on towards producing a biopic about herself, Ainsley is continuing her venture into motherhood.
