Madonna has spoken for the first time about the pain caused by her divorce- which went through last week.

She told AP: "I'm sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life."

The Queen of Pop- currently on her extensive Sticky & Sweet Tour- explained that she is staying busy with work after splitting up with Guy Ritchie.

The 4 Minutes singer said: "It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do."

Reports say Madonna has been spending more time with rumoured lover and Baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

Its even claimed A-Rod has been attending Kabbalah classes to win favour with Madge.
