Madonna splits with her trainer

It has emerged that Queen of Pop Madonna has dropped her trainer Tracy Anderson.

Anderson, a celebrity trainer, who has worked with Gwyneth Paltrow and Molly Simms, came into prominence after Madge, 51, engaged her as her personal trainer.

The singer herself confirmed that she was no longer training with Anderson during an interview on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show last week.

"Madonna had grown tired of the baggage that Tracy always seemed to be carrying with her. Tracy had grown to be more of a distraction than anything else," the New York Post quoted a source as saying.

But Anderson's rep has denied that there were any altercations between the two, and insists they parted on friendly terms.

"This is not true. After working together for three years, Tracy and Madonna mutually parted ways because Tracy wanted to look after her son," Anderson's publicist added.
