Madonna8217;s divorce settlement with her estranged husband Guy Ritchie has yet to be finalised, the singer8217;s publicist said on Sunday.

The Sun and The Mail on Sunday reported that the two had struck a deal over their finances and how to split their property. The Mail also reported that they had agreed to a custody arrangement for the couple8217;s children.

In a brief e-mail message sent to The Associated Press, Liz Rosenberg said she would not be commenting on media reports that the pop star and her film director husband had reached or were about to agree on how to share the couple8217;s multi-million dollar fortune and custody of their children.

8220;I will not be commenting on the various reports regarding the divorce or of the settlement which has not been finalized,8221; Rosenberg said. A statement from Guy Ritchie8217;s representatives in London also declined comment.

Madonna and Ritchie announced their separation Wednesday after nearly eight years of marriage and Britain8217;s tabloid press has speculated wildly on the outcome of the high-profile split.

Madonna and Ritchie married in December 2000 at a castle in Scotland. The couple are reportedly worth around USD 525 million, the bulk of that belonging to Madonna. Ritchie has an estimated USD 35 million fortune. They own homes in London, Los Angeles and New York, and a 1,200-acre 485-hectare retreat in Wiltshire, England.

The couple has two children: Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3, who was adopted in Malawi in 2006. Madonna also has a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from her relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon.
