LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Madonna is apparently turning to former husband Guy Ritchie for support following the devastating news that she would not be allowed to adopt a second child from Malawi.

According the UK's The Sun, Madonna broke down in tears during a recent phone conversation with Guy.

“Rocco was speaking to her and suddenly turned to Guy and said, ‘Daddy, Daddy. Mummy is crying’. He then handed Guy the phone,” the paper quotes a source.

“It’s unusual for Madonna to turn on the waterworks but this has really upset her," the source continued.

Guy has been very supportive of Madonna's efforts to adopt a 4-year-old girl named Mercy, even releasing a statement after a judge denied the adoption because Madonna had not lived in Malawi for the last 18 months.

“I fully supported Madonna in her decision to apply for this adoption, and I am saddened her application has been rejected," Guy's statement read.

“She is motivated only by being a caring parent who seeks to share some of the advantages and opportunities that her life has given her.”
