It’s possible this story is completely fabricated. It’s in the Daily Mail and originated in Grazia, which has been successfully sued for fake stories in the past, so its validity is up to question. If it’s fake it’s one of the most creative and amusing celebrity stories I’ve heard so I have to repeat it. Supposedly Madonna and Guy Ritchie have a “secret love code” that involves repeating positive adjectives to each other after specific intervals of time like “macho,” “beautiful,” “clever,” and “smart.” They’ll just come out randomly with the words and they don’t need to be part of a real sentence or anything. Don’t make me spit out my Diet Coke again today, Daily Mail:
But Madonna and Guy Richie have taken things a step further to overcome their marriage troubles.
The couple are said to have turned their relationship around by using a secret love code to help them feel more intimate.
The ritual is part of a number of changes the couple have made to get their seven year relationship back on track after speculation they were facing divorce earlier this year.
A source told Grazia magazine the pair used the technique at the premiere of Guy’s new film RocknRolla in London last week.
‘Madonna and Guy made sure they looked at each other every 15 minutes, touched each other every few minutes and said words to each other to show the other was the first thing on their mind.
‘It’s not about saying ‘I love you.’ It’s about saying specific things. When Guy first saw Madonna come out of the car, he said the word ‘beautiful’ to her. She replied with the word ‘macho’.
‘During the evening, they whispered random words from ‘clever’ and powerful’ (her to him) to ‘mysterious’ and ’smart’ (him to her).
‘They are their own code words reminding then what they find attractive about each other. Speaking them out loud reinforces those feelings. It’s also a way of being private in a crowd, and they both think it’s very, very sexy,’ said the source.

Some of the commenters at Gossip Rocks, a forum that posted this story, came up with more apt words that these two could say to each other. You can guess what they focus on. The adjectives include:
“face lift”
“root touch up”
“dusty”
“played out”
“haggard”
This is likely a completely made up story. You hear about positive self talk, but it’s pretty novel to reduce it down to a few happy words and say them to your partner throughout the night. It also sounds asinine. They do look pretty happy together for once. Maybe all those isolated words are having an effect.

Said the ’source’: fabricator; story maker-upper; liar.

“hip-breaking”
“veiny” -
Read a great interview with Guy recently. Solid as a rock. Laugh all you want, people, but these two will be together when all the other ’solids’ can’t even remember their ex’s names.
-
shallow mess.
-
This is really creepy. Sorry it’s just weird.
And I read his scar on his face (also known as a ’squealer’s scar’ for people who rat others out I guess) is from his early ‘tough’ days. Wonder if that is true. He seems to know how to handle her highness, though, it can’t be easy.
-
I think it’s cute, if it’s true.
My ex-fiance and I used code words as innuendo, but we’d put them in regular sentences. I asked for us to “go get dessert” a lot back then. lol
-
Her own brother says that Madonna loves Madonna only. She will keep you around as long as you are adoring and agree with her. I guess if they stay together, we’ll know what kind of character Richie has. Personally, I wouldn’t want a “yes man” for a husband. Where’s the fun in that?
-
Oh right. Her brother said so. And he’s not a money-grabbing, coat-tail hanger-offer with ’scumbaggery’ as the most glowing term on his distinctly threadbare CV?
-
Most celebrities (and even some of us common folk) have yes men in our lives and don’t even realize it.
-
This is almost as grotesque as Michael Jackson’s undies. Almost.
-
“Oh right. Her brother said so. And he’s not a money-grabbing, coat-tail hanger-offer with ’scumbaggery’ as the most glowing term on his distinctly threadbare CV?”
Her brother, who knows her better than you or I do, certainly.
-
Codzilla, I don’t think anything is even close to being as grotesque as MJ’s undies.{{{{shudder}}}
-
thats some amazing body language they have going on there. geez its like she doesnt even know hes there.
-
LOL, Jag… ours is “do the dishes”,
I don’t even remember why, lmao.
I think it’s sweet, too. And they look fantastic.
-
Couldn’t care either way, but damn I love her shoes
-
“Her brother, who knows her better than you or I do, certainly.”
You fail to mention 1, his lack of objectivity and 2. his being in a position to milk her like a cash cow.
If it comes down to whose opinion I trust more, then her sleezebag brother will always come a very poor second to Guy Ritchie, someone I’ve known of and read about for years and whose friends (actors I respect like Mark Strong, Tom Wilkinson) have nothing but good things to say about him.
-
Whatever they call it, I bet she’s on top.
-
If it is true, it sounds like an exercise given by a therapist. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with it at all.
By acknowledging those qualities that drew you to that individual, you reinforce your feelings, and by sharing those moments with your partner, it strengthens those same feeling in your partner towards you; therefore increasing your bond as a couple.If this is true, good for them– they look much happier here than in recent past.
-
Smells like BS to me. This is such made up trash it’s laughable.
-
All that cash and she still can’t fix that gaping hole between her teeth.
-
Leave it to Madonna to choreagraph every detail in her life including her love life. Makes you wonder what they’re like in bed together. Poor Guy must really love her; he looks so trapped.
