Guy Ritchie turns his back on Kabbalah as marriage falters

tGuy Ritchie has reportedly turned his back on Kabbalah as his marriage to Madonna hits the rocks.

Earlier in the year, the couple were said to have been using their faith to help them work through their problems but a source told the Sun this week: “Guy has turned his back on Kabbalah once and for all.

“He has gone hot and cold on the religion in the past, but now he’s given up on it altogether. It has always been her thing and is more a part of her life than ever.

“Guy threw himself into it at first and even filled his movie Revolver with obscure references to the faith. He was genuinely into it and it helped the bond between them.

“But then he backtracked a little with his gestures of public backing, like wearing the bracelet, because he didn’t like being such a high-profile follower. He also became suspicious of all the Kabbalah crowd living off her money.

“But he always told Madonna he had kept his faith - until now. A few weeks ago he told her he doesn’t want anything else to do with it. It didn’t go down well.”

The couple, who married in 2000, are said to be starting a trial separation with the intention of announcing their split once Madonna’s world tour is finished in November.
