Guy Ritchie's dad says it would be a tragedy if he got back with Madonna. John Ritchie is pleased his son and the singer have parted ways, and is even more delighted Madonna is distracting herself with "lots

of boyfriends" because "she won't be looking for him". The protective father told In Touch Weekly magazine: "The worst thing would be if they reconciled." While Guy's dad welcomes the split, he says relations between the pair are amicable and all they care about is the happiness of the children they raise together - 12-year-old Lourdes, eight-year-old Rocco and David, three. He said: "There are no big arguments between them. All they discuss is the children." Meanwhile, Madonna, 50, has failed to buy a horse despite throwing money at the owners. The equine loving star spotted the magnificent beast at the Florida Equestrian Show and asked her staff to secure its purchase. However, the owners declined the generous offer and delivered a further snub when Madonna offered a New York apartment as well to seal the deal.
