Quiet and amicable. This is how Alex Rodriguez and Cynthia’s
divorce ended. The baseball star and his estranged wife have settled their
multimillion-dollar divorce case.
“Cynthia and Alex Rodriguez have amicably resolved their
dissolution of marriage proceedings,” legal representatives for the former
couple said in a statement, PEOPLE reported. “They deliberately engaged in a
private negotiation. During the negotiations and resolution all decisions were
made with the best interests of their children as the paramount concern.”
A-Rod’s ex-spouse filed for divorce in July, citing her
husband’s infidelity and saying that he “emotionally abandoned” her and their
kids. In addition to this, Cynthia’s attorney said that the Yankees slugger,
aged 33, was involved in a relationship with Madonna and that was the straw
that broke the camel’s back.
In her divorce petition, Cynthia, aged 35, demanded
ownership of the family’s $12 million property in Coral Gables, Fla.,
plus sufficient spousal and child support in order to maintain the “high
standard of living” she and the girls Natasha, aged 3, and Ella, 5 months are
used to.
Alex Rodriguez, on the other hand, asserted that he would
only give his ex-wife what was stipulated in their prenup and threatened to make
her cover his legal costs if she challenged the agreement and lost.
A-Rod’s lawyer, Alan Kluger, said his client and Cynthia
Rodriguez considered the needs of their children when they reached a
settlement. “All of their decisions were based upon and guided by the best
interests of their daughters,” Kluger said.
The bad news is that another happy couple got divorced. The
good news for A-Rod’s female fans is that he is free again.
