LONDON:

Recently divorced couple pop diva Madonna and British film director Guy Ritchie are to call a Christmas truce for the sake of their children.

The pair has temporarily ceased their custody battle and struck a deal to share a traditional family celebration at Ritchie’s Ashcombe House estate, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Madonna who has been touring South America, will arrive in Britain on December 23 with their son Rocco, adopted son David, and her daughter Lourde.

“Madonna and Guy want the best for the kids and so she has decided to come over to the UK so they can be with their father. The plan is for them to be together on Christmas at Ashcombe House,” a source close to the pair said. The source added, “Because of what the ch-ildren have been thro-ugh Guy wants to treat them to a really special Christmas with stockings of presents and a big tree. He is planning on a traditional turkey dinner — all the food will be organic at Mad-onna’s insistence”. — HNS
