London, Apr 9 : It seems that the relationship between the Guy Ritchie and Madonna has warmed after he stepped in to support her following the failed adoption bid.

The pop queen - known to pals as Em - apparently broke down during a call to their son Rocco, who was with Ritchie last week.

"Civil conversations between them have been few and far between in the past year," the Sun quoted an insider as saying.

"But over the last week things have improved. Guy had Rocco over for a visit when Em called to see if he was OK, as she always does when she is away from the kids.

"Rocco was speaking to her and suddenly turned to Guy and said, `Daddy, Daddy. Mummy is crying'. He then handed Guy the phone.

"Guy was incredibly sympathetic, calmed her down and told her to be happy with the family she had," the insider added.

Guy had earlier issued a statement supporting Madge after a Malawian judge refused the adoption of four-year-old Mercy James.

He said: "I fully supported Madonna in her decision to apply for this adoption, and I am saddened her application has been rejected. (ANI)
