Madonna and Guy Ritchie are heading for a romantic reconciliation, according to astonishing new U.S. tabloid reports.
The pair confirmed months of speculation by splitting late in 2008 after almost eight years of marriage.
Since their quickie divorce, Madonna has enjoyed reported romances with baseball star Alex Rodriguez and model Jesus Luz.
However, Star magazine alleges the former couple has reconnected - after Ritchie publicly praised his ex during her bid to adopt Malawian baby Mercy - and has been meeting in secret to establish if they want to reunite.
A source tells Star, "She was touched by Guy's gesture. It made her start to fall for him all over again.
"For now they are seeing what happens. She's just really happy to have him back in her life."
Since the split the pair have shared the custody of their children Rocco and David Banda, Madonna's daughter Lordes is from another relationship.
