Rodriguez was smitten with Madonna six months ago when he was exchanging text messages with her while dining with a friend in Miami.
"He kept smiling, acting as if he was a little kid," the dinner companion tells Us Weekly.
"He told me it was Madonna," the friend says. "I was shocked."
The highest-paid player in baseball then "proceeded to say he was in love with her," the pal continues. "I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't."
By February, the 32-year-old slugger had upped the ante. "He said, 'She's my f--king soulmate, dude.'"
On Monday, A-Rod's wife of nearly five years Cynthia, who gave birth to the couple's second child in April, filed for divorce six days after Us Weekly broke the news that her husband was making late night visits to Madonna's apartment.
So was it an affair? "Without talking about specifics of sexual conduct, there's no question," her attorney, Earle Lilly, tells Us. "No one very often has pictures of the actual sex itself."
A-Rod hasn't even seen his newborn daughter Ella "more than once," her attorney adds.
In fact, "literally 10 minutes" after the birth of Ella in Miami, he was flying to NYC to see Madonna, a source tells Us.
Check out the new issue of Us Weekly available now, for the full story on how the Material Girl lured A-Rod away from his newborn, why a friend says he's "totally brainwashed" by kaballah, how Madonna is thriving on the attention and why her friends think A-Rod is "totally her type."
Such good inside information. And as crazy as this story may be, it is all true for the most part and Madonna has been in the planning stages of a divorce for some time now.
Oh the drama continues...
