MADONNA‘S close relationship with ex-husband Guy Ritchie is starting to affect her romance with toyboy Jesus Luz, according to reports.

The Brazilian model, 22, apparently hates the fact Madonna and Guy — who divorced earlier this year after almost eight years of marriage — spend so much time together.

“Jesus is upset at how often Guy seems to be featuring in Madonna’s life lately,” revealed a source close to the pop superstar.

“He understands they are keen to maintain good relations for the sake of the family but Jesus made a comment about just how frequently she seems to be seeing her ex — and it’s fair to say it didn’t go down brilliantly with her.

“Words were said on both sides and tensions have grown in the relationship but it can’t be easy seeing your girlfriend spending so much time with her ex husband.”

We reported last week how the singer and the film director regret splitting up.

“The pair of them have huge egos so, rather than speaking directly to one another, they are using friends to relay information,” a source said. “The truth is both Guy and Madonna are becoming more and more open in their admissions that in many ways they regret getting divorced.

“It’s one of those rare situations where couples start to get on better once their marriage is over.

“Both of them are brilliant with the kids and have fond memories of their family life together.

“It’s almost as though they have forgotten about all the rows they had as their marriage headed for the rocks.”

COULD Madonna be on the verge of rekindling her romance with ex-husband Guy Ritchie?

According to British tabloid reports, the pair — who finalized their divorce earlier this year — apparently regret splitting up.

“The pair of them have huge egos so, rather than speaking directly to one another, they are using friends to relay information,” a source told The People. “The truth is both Guy and Madonna are becoming more and more open in their admissions that in many ways they regret getting divorced.

“It’s one of those rare situations where couples start to get on better once their marriage is over.

“Both of them are brilliant with the kids and have fond memories of their family life together.

“It’s almost as though they have forgotten about all the rows they had as their marriage headed for the rocks.”

Guy, 41, recently confessed that he still has feelings for the pop superstar.

“I still love her,” he said in an interview with Esquire magazine. “But she’s retarded, too.

“She’s a manifester, if there ever was one.

“First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any 23-year-old, she’ll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad.”

You wouldn’t want to run into this guy in a dark alley!

Madonna won’t be amused when she reads Guy Ritchie’s latest interview!

Speaking to Esquire magazine, the film director — who divorced the pop superstar earlier this year — says he has mixed feelings about his ex-wife.

“I still love her,” he said. “But she’s retarded, too.”

“She’s a manifester, if there ever was one,” he adds. “First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any 23-year-old, she’ll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad.”

Ritchie admits he’s still coming to terms with the split.

“You can’t tell someone when they’re getting divorced that their pain is an illusion,” he says. “I’m f***ing telling you, I feel it. I’ve been through that… No one can say you don’t feel that.”

Guy Ritchie wants to be a “prolific mother-f***er” now he is single.

The Sherlock Holmes director — whose almost eight-year marriage to Madonna ended last year — is planning to focus on his career and make a host of new films while he hasn’t got a special woman in his life.

“I’ve been in this game a long time now — middle class and middle-aged,” he said. “Although I suspect I’m moving into a very different period now. I sense a shift.

“I’m a victim of circumstance and age. Its life, isn’t it? Let’s be frank, I’ve got a lot more time on my hands now, and because of that I’ve become a lot more career-motivated. I intend to be a very prolific mother-f***er over the next three years.”

Despite making a name for himself with London heist film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998 and gangster movie Snatch in 2000, Guy claims he has little recollection of the violent films.

“I forget I’ve done them,” he said. “So if ever they’re on, I’m unaware I had anything to do with them. If I were to watch Snatch or Lock Stock… I couldn’t tell you what scene was coming next.

“It’s embarrassing to say this but I’d probably really enjoy watching them.”

Guy Ritchie is one lucky fella — Brad Pitt has agreed to star in his upcoming Sherlock Holmes flick.

Pitt stepped in to save the day after studio bosses demanded that the movie focuses more on Holmes’ nemesis Moriarty.

“It’s a huge coup to have Brad joining the cast,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “He has worked for Guy before and said if he could, he would do anything to help out.

“It was an oversight in the film not to make a bigger deal about Moriarty. He is mentioned as Holmes’ arch enemy, but the bosses wanted Guy to make more of him. Jude Law (who plays Dr Watson) and Robert Downey Jr (Holmes) have already shot their scenes.

“But now that 10 extra days have been added to shoot the new ones, they may be called back for a day or two.

“Brad is expected to be filming all over London. Cliveden House has been earmarked as a location for Moriarty’s home.

“There will be scenes shot at Royal Victoria Dock, Pontoon Docks, Pinewood and Chatham Docks in Kent. And they will be using clips around City of London to set the scene.

“It’s going to be a full-on couple of days, but now the release date has been pushed back they might just do it in time.”

Madonna has fueled speculation she’s set to reconcile with ex-husband Guy Ritchie — after it was revealed she’s written a song about him.

The pair divorced earlier this after almost 8 years of marriage.

Madonna, 50, has penned a track about a couple who loved, fought and loved again, and calls Ritchie her “eternal love”.

“The whole relationship now is just unbelievable,” a source told a British magazine.

“Not long ago, people wouldn’t even dare bring up his name because it was so bad. When they did talk, all they did was scream abuse at each other down the phone.

“Madonna has met few people in her life she truly respects and one of them is Guy. Forgetting everything else, she admires his intellect and cares about what he thinks.

“No one ever expected they could go from lovers to enemies and then back to incredibly close friends.”

Source also claim Guy still refers to Madonna as if they are married.

“He’ll often say, ‘My wife is in great shape’,” revealed the insider.

The couple agreed to resolve their differences after Madonna’s 12-year-old daughter Lourdes told her mother she wanted the pair to get along.

“She sat down with her mother and told her straight out that she wanted things to be good. It was then Madonna who called Guy and they met up in London and spent hours just talking. There was no shouting, no attitude and no hostility,” said the source.

“They have spent time together as a family, it was all very low key. He and Madonna were laughing together, he was teasing her like he used to and the edge was gone. She was asking him a lot of advice and getting him involved in decisions.”

Madonna’s toyboy Jesus Luz is starting to feel “inadequate” now that her ex-husband, Guy Ritchie, is back on the scene.

“Guy is around pretty frequently, and Jesus is becoming resentful,” a source told the New York Daily News. “He feels inadequate. He’s intimidated by Guy’s accomplishments; they clearly aren’t equals.

“Jesus has gotten used to being her focus, and when Guy is around, that doesn’t happen.

“Still, Guy is still a part of her life and he always will be.

“They were married for eight years, and they have three children together. Jesus doesn’t like it, but tough luck.”

Madonna apparently likes Jesus, 22, because he’s “pretty and she can boss him around,” says the source. “He’s good in bed. And he takes really good care of her kids. But as a life partner? No. He’s child’s play.”

Reps for Ritchie, Madonna and Luz didn’t respond to calls for comment, according to the News.

Madonna is back on speaking terms with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie — and it’s all thanks to her recently-adopted daughter Mercy James.

The singer invited Guy — who she divorced earlier this year after seven years of marriage — to meet the Malawian tot this past weekend.

The movie-maker spent Friday night with Madonna, 50, and four-year-old Mercy, according to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.

“He met her at Madonna’s house and they bonded immediately,” a source told the tabloid.

“He nicknamed her Koala, as she has this habit of clinging to people and not letting go.”

Guy, 40, also went to the London Kabbalah Center with Madonna and Mercy, as well as her daughter Lourdes, 12, and their two sons David Banda, three, and Rocco, eight.

At the time of their split it was claimed the Holiday singer’s desire to adopt again was the final straw for Guy. Insiders say Madonna is over the moon that the Snatch director is becoming part of the family again.

Guy Ritchie has finalized a deal to direct a remake of classic musical Guys And Dolls.

The British filmmaker — who is divorced from pop superstar Madonna — has been given the green light to embark on a casting mission to fill the roles of Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit — played by screen legends Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra in the original.

“Guy has been on the case with the idea of making a musical recently,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.

“He had been throwing ideas around with Jason Statham about writing their own musical. They were joking that it would be a cross between Worzel Gummidge and Bullitt.

“Guy has had a lot of meetings with top studio bosses about other projects but the Guys And Dolls idea really tickled him.

“He is torn between keeping the script true to the original in New York and taking it to familiar surroundings in London.”
