Wife of Alex Rodriguez Files For Divorce

"The Insider" has the latest...

The wife of baseball star Alex Rodriguez filed for divorce in a Miami court on Monday, citing alleged "extramarital affairs" by her husband. 

In papers filed with the Miami-Dade County Family Court, Cynthia Rodriguez said she decided to divorce after having "exhausted every effort to salvage" her marriage. "However, Alex has emotionally abandoned his wife and children and has left her with no choice but to divorce him," the papers said.

The divorce papers allege the marriage is "irretrievably broken" due to Alex's alleged "extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct." The couple married in November 2002. 

The filing comes after pop icon Madonna issued a statement on Sunday denying news reports that  implied she was having a romantic relationship with Rodriguez, or that she plans to end her marriage to Guy Ritchie.

In Madonna's statement, issued to People magazine, she explains her relationship with the New York Yankee slugger. "My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study."

Cynthia Rodriguez is seeking primary custody of the couple's two children, as well as child support and alimony.

  • I think it is something else that caused this. I do not believe he is haveing sex with madonna. It is probably something completely different and we should stay out of it.

  • If she wants to start dating other guys, she should get a divorce first. But then again, why did she get ever "married"?

    Till death do you part, Madonna!

  • I think its a shame that the media is focusing this much on something that is obviously a painful subject for Cynthia. That said I do not believe Madonna could be capable of hurting a family like that. It goes everything she believes in

  • If anything I'm on A-Rod's side. I believe A-Rod an Madonna when they say nothing happened. To me I think A-Rod's wife is taking advantage of the situation because he has all the money, and she is just looking for a reason to divorce him so she can get her hands on his money. I support A-Rod all the way.

  • Lets think about this people. A-rod and madonna hangin out, workin out together. He goes to her shows , says he is a big fan. I think, as well as most people, A-rod might be coming out of a closet, and who better to turn too.

  • Madonna wouldn't piss on A-Rod let alone sleep with him.

  • Maybe somebody should have "connected" with Guy Ritchie when Madonna's son was just new to the world! Think she would've felt "ok" with that?

  • Madonna and A-Rod do look good together. But anyways, if they (Mad-Rod) feel right being together then by all means they ought to be.
