Madonna and  Guy Ritchie both said on Wednesday that a statement released on behalf of the singer that included detailed terms of their divorce was actually “misleading and inaccurate.”The singer’s spokeswoman in New York, Liz Rosenberg, said on Monday that Madonna gave Ritchie between 50 and 60 million pounds ($76-92 million) as part of their divorce settlement.

Both Associated Press (AP) and Reuters reported the figures, but the couple are now allegedly distancing themselves from the accuracy such information.

“We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest,” said the pair in a joint statement.

“A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week,” the statement added.

“The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children.” Rosenberg said that custody arrangements for the couple’s children had not been finalized.

Madonna and the British film director have an eight-year-old son, Rocco, and three-year-old son David, adopted from Malawi. The singer also has a daughter Lourdes, born in 1996, from her relationship with fitness trainer Carlos Leon.

Madonna and Ritchie announced their split in October, nearly eight years after their wedding at Skibo Castle in Scotland.

The estimated combined wealth of the couple is about $525 million, although Madonna allegedly accounts for most of it.
