Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and his wife have started divorce proceedings but are reportedly 'using the same lawyer' to make sure it is amicable.
The millionaire soccer boss and fashion entrepreneur Cristina Serra are said to have already agreed the initial terms of their settlement agreement after news of their shock split became public last month.
And friends are indicating they are determined to stay on friendly terms for the sake of their three children and avoid an ugly court battle at all costs.
Lorena Vazquez, one of a duo of well-respected Spanish showbiz reporters who call themselves the Mamarazzis, went on a national TV show on Monday to say they had launched divorce proceedings six weeks after it emerged Pep and Cristina had decided to call time on their 30-year relationship.
