Madonna's mother-in-law is on the attack following a deluge of reports that the Material Girl's marriage to Guy Ritchie is on the rocks.
There has been "no conversation about divorce because there is no divorce," Amber Leighton told Britain's Daily Mail.
Leighton also described reports that the couple have spoken to divorce lawyers as "works of fiction."
"They are no different to most other couples," she said. "We all know that being together can be hard sometimes and marriages are not always a bed of roses."
Although Madonna and Ritchie have been plagued with break-up rumors in the past, lately things have reached a feverish pitch.
The London Times reported last week that the Material Girl has met with attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney and Prince Charles in their respective divorces. Ritchie also reportedly consulted a lawyer.
Just days before, Britain's The Mirror newspaper quoted a friend of the couple who said the two are planning to split in November after Madonna's Sticky 'n' Sweet world tour wraps.
Several publications took note when Madonna was spotted in New York this weekend without her wedding ring. However, Madge has often gone ringless - alongside her husband - in the seven years that couple have been married.
Madonna told MTV in 2005 that she wanted to leave Ritchie at one point. "I got married for all the wrong reasons," she said.
Madonna's publicist has maintained that the couple is not getting divorced. Neither the singer nor Ritchie have publicly refuted the reports.
