Los Angeles: Filmmaker Guy Ritchie does not regret his marriage to pop star Madonna but says their eight-years together was like being in a soap opera.
The 43-year-old, who recently became a father again when his girlfriend Jacqui Ainsley gave birth to a boy, says he cherishes the time spent with the Queen of Pop because of their children, the People magazine reported.
“I stepped into a soap opera, and I lived in it for quite a long time. I’ll probably be more eloquent on it 10 years from now,” said Ritchie, who has a biological son Rocco, 11, and adopted child David Banda, six, with Madonna.
“I enjoyed my first marriage. It’s definitely not something I regret. The experience was ultimately very positive. I love the kids that came out of it, and I could see no other route to take. But you move on, don’t you?”
“When you end up with a lot of the things you set out to chase and find that you’ve stumbled into all sorts of hollow victories, then you become deeply philosophical. I’m quite happy that that experience was accelerated for me. I’m glad I made money, in other words. And I’m glad I got married,” Ritchie said. (PTI)
