Guy Ritchie tells the November issue of Esquire that he still loves ex-wife Madonna. Ritchie praised his former wife -- while revealing some tidbits about the music icon.

"She's a manifester, if there ever was one. First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any twenty-three-year-old, she'll outwork them, outdance them."

And when pressed on the topic he adds, "And, of course, here you go: I still love her."

But Ritchie isn't all lovey-dovey now that the divorce is final. He finishes by saying, "But she's retarded, too."
