Alex Rodriguez and Wife File for Divorce amid Flurry of Gossip

Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez and his wife of six years, Cynthia Scurtis, are reportedly putting an end to their marriage and are expected to file for divorce Monday in Miami, according to media reports.

Alex Rodriguez, 32, and Cynthia Scurtis married in November 2002 and welcomed their first child, daughter Natasha Alexander, in November 2004. Their second child, daughter Ella Alexander, was born in April of this year.

The months elapsing since their second child’s birth have not been tranquil ones though, as the two spouses are reported to have drifted apart. Rumors have been persistent over the past few weeks, with Alex Rodriguez being linked with musical superstar Madonna and Cynthia Scurtis being paired up by the media with rock singer Lenny Kravitz.

Both spouses are expected to file for divorce Monday in a Miami family court, reports the New York Daily News.

A lawyer for Cynthia Scurtis, Earle Lilly, explained in a statement to the Daily News that the mother of two “has reached the end of her ability to tolerate his continued marital misconduct.”

While Alex Rodriguez is a “terrific” baseball player, continues Lilly, “he’s not going to make the all-star team” and “he’s not going to get voted in” as a husband and father.

The media has been reporting that the Yankees player has been having an affair with Madonna and this reportedly was the last straw for his wife, who has allegedly had to cope with her husband’s wondering eye before.

Madonna tried to ward off the speculation by explaining last week through her rep that she and Alex Rodriguez both have the same manager, Guy Oseary, that they have met and that Madonna took her children to a Yankees game last month.

“There’s really not anything to comment on beyond that,” the rep concluded.

To no avail however, considering that soon after that reports surfaced according to which Madonna had convinced Alex Rodriguez to follow Kabbalah, an event Rodriguez’s former trainer Dodd Romero likened to brainwashing.

Romero, who is godfather to the couple’s two daughters, told the New York Post that Cynthia believes Alex Rodriguez’s interest in Kabbalah “ruined the marriage.”

Madonna released another statement Sunday stating she is not “romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez” and that she has no connection with the state of his marriage or the spiritual path he may choose.
