Alex Rodriguez on Madonna: I Respect Her

Copyright 2009 / Details Magazine
Alex Rodriguez sets the record straight about his relationship with Madonna and how they first met.

 

"Well, we're friends," the ball player tells Details magazine. "She's an amazing entertainer. And it's been amazing how she's been able to stay on top for three decades. I have a lot of respect for her."

A-Rod says he has sought her counsel over the years, calling her "smart" and "passionate about everything she does." "If there ever was any situation, she's a great ear to have," he tells the publication.

Though many presume the two met through their representation, Guy Oseary, Alex says that was not the case. "I met her about 12 years ago in Miami, believe it or not. … I was trying to buy her house, and I couldn't afford it."

For more with the ball player, check him out in the April issue of Details magazine on newsstands next week.

  • I'm just curious, what man would want to date Madonna? With her history with men, it just is not worth being the 4,001'st man on the list.

  • Like he has what Madonna wants. Men are just temporary playthings for her. You can't keep her happy for long. Impossible. Her kids come first. The man is second.

    "Respect yourself." Or respect us and just go away, you self-serving pimp.
