begged them not to be "mean".
Guy was seen entering his ex-wife Madonna's New York apartment on Tuesday
(01.13.09) sparking rumors of a reconciliation, but the pair reportedly
only met to placate 12-year-old Lourdes.
A source said: "They're working very hard to have an amicable divorce,
because Lourdes came to them begging, 'Please don't be mean to each other.'
Then she told them she wanted everything to be as friendly as possible."
The couple - who announced they were separating after nearly eight years of
marriage last October - are now determined to make their separation as easy
as possible for the sake of Lourdes, their eight-year-old son Rocco and
adopted son David Banda, three.

The source added to the New York Daily News newspaper: "Madonna and Guy are
getting along better than they have in over a year. Their separation has had
a positive effect on their relationship as parents."
Madonna has sought support from friends who follow Kabbalah, a mystical
off-shoot of Judaism, who are also said to be behind the improved relations
between her and Guy.
A friend of the 50-year-old singer's revealed: "Kabbalah doesn't encourage
divorce. So her friends in the religion are pushing for them to reunite or,
at the very least, maintain a solid friendship."
