Ritchie sparks further marriage speculation

Rex Features

Guy Ritchie has sparked further speculation that his marriage to Madonna is in trouble.

The film director was not wearing a wedding ring as he arrived in New York for a meeting with his wife yesterday.

Madonna is believed to have planned the US reunion in an attempt to silence talk that she will soon file for divorce.

The Queen of Pop has also been ringless in recent snaps, but her spokeswoman has insisted that this is nothing unusual.

Liz Rosenbery told People.com: "Madonna has rarely worn a wedding band over these last six years, so there's no secret message about that."

Ritchie has reportedly been receiving relationship advice from Sting and Trudie Styler recently.
