crumbled.
The couple - who announced last week they were separating, ending months of
rumors - reportedly didn't get close beneath the sheets because the 'Hung
Up' singer was too tired for love due to her grueling daily 4-hour
workouts.
A friend close to the pair said: "Guy got more and more frustrated as she
spent nearly half the day exercising. When she did eventually get home she'd
be too tired to make love.
"When the cracks first started to show, Guy would plead with her to spend
more time with him but she wouldn't. She'd insist she did her four-hour
workout. They've been apart so much in the last two years that their
opportunities to make love would have been fairly limited. They've also been
in separate rooms a lot after big rows so there wasn't any chance to make
up."
It has also been claimed that Guy, 40, found 50-year-old Madonna's
super-toned body a turn-off, and yearned for the soft, womanly curves she
had when they first fell in love after meeting in 1999.
The 'RocknRolla' director is reported to have confided in a friend he was
finding his superstar star spouse less attractive the more fitness obsessed
she became.
The pal told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "After a few drinks one
evening, Guy said it was like cuddling up to a piece of gristle*. All the
soft feminine tones had been replaced by the build of an athlete."

It has also been claimed the estranged couple did have a pre-nuptial
agreement in place before they tied the knot at Scotland's Skibo Castle in
December 2000.
Guy - who is believed to be worth $60 million - will reportedly receive
around $24 million in cash, the pair's 1,200 acre Wiltshire estate and their
London pub the Punchbowl in the settlement.
He cannot claim any of the $600 million fortune Madonna has amassed during
their seven-and-a-half year union.
However, it is still not clear what the custody arrangements will be
regarding the three children Madonna and Guy raise together - 12-year-old
Lourdes, the singer's daughter with dancer Carlos Leon, son Rocco, eight,
and adopted son David Banda, three.
