NEW YORK — Maybe she will have advice on what not to do in a marriage.

Madonna, who’s been divorced twice, is going to be on “The Marriage Ref.”

Madonna’s spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, confirmed Saturday that Madonna would make an appearance on the upcoming reality show, where celebrities and a referee try to help couples in conflict. The episode has not yet been taped, and Rosenberg did not have further details.

Madonna has been married twice, once to Sean Penn and most recently to Guy Ritchie.

The “Marriage Ref” will debut on NBC after the Olympics.
