Madonna open to marriage again

Madonna is open to walking down the aisle again following her two failed marriages to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie as she is a "romantic" hoping to be "swept off her feet by a knight in shining armour".

The pop superstar has been dating French dancer Brahim Zaibat for more than a year, and the 53 year old tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton she would consider becoming a wife for the third time.

When asked if she could see herself walking down the aisle in the future, Madonna replied, "I could actually, yes", adding: "I think I'm a pretty good judge of character but I have made a few mistakes."

Madonna, who is mother to four children, admits she is a hopeless romantic at heart.

She explains, "If you're a romantic like me, and every girl I know is, every girl wants to be swept off her feet by a knight in shining armour. Unfortunately we're raised on those fairy tales.

"Even if we are sophisticated, educated, intelligent, evolved human beings, we like to think in the back of our minds that Mr Right is going to sweep us off our feet and take us into the sunset, and we're going to live happily ever after.

"But we keep getting disappointed. If you have even half a brain you know that doesn't exist."

The full interview will air on The Graham Norton Show in Britain on Friday night (13Jan12).
