It seems that stress is finally taking a toll on the pop-star Madonna’s health who is in midst of a bitter divorce battle with Guy Ritchie.

The Christmas holiday was perhaps exhausting for the 50-year-old singer, who looked pale in jeans and a bomber jacket as she headed out with friend Gwyneth Paltrow and and her husband Chris Martin for dinner.

Madonna’s skin was stretched and she appeared haggard and worn out, despite putting on a smile for photographers, Daily Mail reported.

The star clearly had a hectic day as she, Ritchie and their three children attended the London headquarters of their Kabbalah religion.

This was the first time the family has been pictured together since the split was announced in October.

“They have had a lot to cope with since announcing their divorce in October…but they always agreed that the children would come first. It has been a rough few months for all of them,” said a source close to the couple.

The divorcing couple has apparently agreed to call a truce to ensure that their sons Rocco, David and daughter Lourdes enjoyed the holidays.

It has been reported that Madonna plans to permanently settle in New York but cannot take her two sons with her unless by permission of either Ritchie or an English court.

The 40-year-old director is keen for his sons to grow up and be schooled in England. The singer, who has just completed her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ world tour, is taking all the children to the Maldives on holiday for New Year.
