Madonna flies out JFK after sparring with ex Guy Richie over ‘where the kids should spend Christmas’

After finding herself at odds with ex Guy Richie about how some of their children would spend the holidays, it appeared Madonna was ready to find some middle ground. 

The superstar was seen heading out of New York’s John F. Kennedy airport en route to London with her adopted twin daughters Estere and Stelle, seven, and beau Ahlamalik Williams on Friday.

Madge, 61, looked like she was feeling healthy, just days after also abruptly cancelling her Miami concert because she was suffering ‘indescribable’ pain.

Madonna and Richie’s conflict wouldn’t have had anything to do with her twin daughters, who were adopted by the star after the end of her and the director’s relationship.

It looked like the family was ready to go at the airport, where the pop star was bundled up for her travels, wrapping a Nike scarf emblazoned with graphic text around her head. She wore a matching shirt and dark leggings beneath.

Madonna continued her look with a puffy New York Yankees jacket with lace trim adorning the sleeves. 

Black combat boots with white laces tied things together.

Even though she was indoors, Madonna hid her eyes behind some rose-tinted shades.

At her side was boyfriend Ahlamalik, who looked happy to be with his much older love and her kids.

After cancelling her Miami show on Sunday night, ex Guy filed a divorce court case regarding their offspring.

On Monday Guy filed a motion in their divorce case asking for ‘the enforcement or execution of a judgment or order’ in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The timing of the motion – which was filed on December 23 – suggested there could have been a disagreement over where some of Madonna’s six children should be spending Christmas. 

The motion in the case was filed at the Manhattan Supreme Court in Madonna and Guy’s divorce case.

The matter was settled in 2008 but any disputes over their children are dealt with there.

Madonna – who was recently pictured with her new toyboy Ahlamalik in Miami – and Ritchie have Rocco together over whom they waged a bitter and public custody battle over in courts in London and New York.

That ended in 2016 with Rocco being allowed to live in the UK with his father, a director whose films include Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

During her eight year marriage to Ritchie Madonna adopted David Banda. Their younger son has also recently been spending time with Ritchie in London. 

The court docket states that the defendant, in this case Guy, has filed a motion asking for ‘enforcement or execution of a judgement or order’.

The matter has not been ruled on by Judge Deborah Kaplan, who is overseeing the case.

During the previous dispute over Rocco, Christmas was the cause of a flare up in 2015.

At that time Judge Kaplan ordered the boy, who was 15 at the time, to return to New York to be with his mother but g=Guy’s lawyers said he did not want to.

Ritchie and Madonna got married in 2000 in Skibo Castle in Scotland in a high profile ceremony attended by Gwyneth Paltrow, Donatella Versace and Stella McCartney.

Under the terms of their divorce he reportedly got around $92 million, which includes the Punchbowl pub in Mayfair, London that they owned and their estate in Wiltshire.

Madonna has occasionally spoken about their marriage and in an interview with Newsweek she said that the romance died.

She said: ‘When you start off, everything’s great and lovely, and the person you’ve married is flawless, and you’re flawless.

‘Then time goes by, and you share a life, you have children, and there are cracks in the veneer.’

In another interview she said that at times she ‘felt incarcerated’ by Ritchie.

She said: ‘If you’re an artist you’ve got to find someone who accepts who you are and are comfortable with that.’

Ritchie has been far more vocal and has said that whilst he does not regret his time with Madonna, the drama was too much and that their life became a ‘soap opera’.

Short notice: Madonna canceled her performance on Sunday night in Miami two hours before showtime and later took to Instagram to say she was suffering from 'indescribable' pain

Friends of his have also claimed that her strict diet, her Kabbalah religion and obsession with yoga made her hard to live with.

After divorcing Madonna Ritchie, 50, married his second wife Jacqui Ainsley in 2015, with whom he has three children.

In July they posed with David Banda at the premiere of the Lion King in London where the boy beamed a smile as he wore black tie.

Madonna has four other children, Lourdes, 23, Mercy James, 13, who was adopted from Malawi, as were twins Stelle and Estere, 7.

Madonna has recently moved to Portugal to be nearer David Banda and to help his career in soccer as he trains there with Benfica.

Her latest social media posts give no clue about the nature of the dispute. She is currently on her Madame X world tour, though she is taking a break for Christmas. 

However the night before the legal filing, Madonna angered fans by canceling her Miami performance of the Madame X tour. 

Enraged fans took to Twitter disappointed in the cancellation and looking for answers. 

Upset: One fan posted a photo of himself giving two middle fingers to a promotional poster outside the Fillmore where she was set to perform

Many were angry that Madonna cancelled without a statement, while others explained they had flown hours to see her perform. 

One fan posted a photo of himself giving two middle fingers to a promotional poster outside the Fillmore where she was set to perform.  

Others claim a ‘furious’ Madonna threw a tantrum during warm ups, fired two employees and then canceled the show. 

‘She threw a fit rehearsals and was upset for low ticket sales and the venues unprofessionalism and said she’s out,’ one Facebook user said.

The 61-year-old later took to Instagram to say she was suffering from ‘indescribable’ pain from a past injury and it meant she had to call off the show.

As part of her routine for her single Batuka, the US artist climbs a ladder backstage and appears facing fans on top of a mock up set of steps. 

She said that when she climbed the ladder in Miami she was ‘in tears from the pain of my injuries’, which she said had been ‘indescribable for the past few days.’

‘With every song I sang, I said a prayer that I would make it to the next and get thru the show. My prayers were answered, and I made it,’ she said.

‘I consider myself a warrior. I never quit, I never give in, I never give up!! However this time I have to listen to my body. And accept that my pain is a warning.’
