A-Rod Splits Quietly With His Wife

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, commonly known as A-Rod, has finally reached a divorce settlement with the mother of his children, Cynthia Rodriguez, three months after they filed for official separation.

Rodriguez promised in his divorce reply that he would continue to support his daughters, and he said he hoped for a custody deal so the couple could “co-parent their children together,” as both the father and the mother of 3-year-old Natasha and 5-month-old Ella say their main concern is the girls’ welfare.

Maurice Kutner, lawyer for Cynthia Rodriguez, reading from a statement approved by the couple, said: “This was and remains a personal family matter for both of them. All of their decisions were based upon and guided by the best interests of their daughters.”

The couple, who married in November 2002, reportedly grew apart because of A-Rod’s alleged repeated infidelities, especially the rumored romance with pop-star Madonna, although both Mrs. Ritchie and Rodriguez denied that they ever had a “thing.”

A source close to Cynthia, as quoted by People magazine, says she is happy with the agreement, although the terms of the deal were not released. “Cynthia is in New York for a few days and quite happy with the divorce settlement," said the source. "It is all settled and each Rodriguez is ready to move on.”

Meanwhile, A-Rod goes back to being a much desired bachelor and baseball’s highest-paid player, as he is in the first year of a 10-year deal with the Yankees that will pay him at least $275 million.
