Guy Ritchie Opening Up Pub in NYC to Stay Closer to Kids

Guy Ritchie is going to take some of the money he got from his divorce from Madonna to open up a nice traditional pub in New York City. He wants to spend more time in the States now that Madonna says NYC is her permanent home. The couple share custody of their sons, 8-year-old Rocco and 3-year-old David, and he wants to be closer to them. And while the boys will split their time between New York and London, Guy also wants to have some access to his step-daughter, Lourdes, who has been part of Guy's life for most of her 12 years.

Guy's successful Mayfair pub, The Punchbowl, is said to be the inspiration for the NYC pub. A friend says, "A lot of New Yorkers told Punchbowl staff they wish they had something like that over there. And if Guy has business in New York, he would have a great excuse to have proper days out with the kids. He dreads the idea of becoming an "occasional dad."

Worth around $50 million, Guy also reportedly got around $3 million as part of the divorce settlement. He was also given the couple's country estate in Wiltshire, worth $16 million.

Life is tough all over, isn't it?
