Alex Rodriguez Responds to Wife’s Divorce Filing



New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez takes a slug at his wife, Cynthia, in a new statement.

The baseball player responds to his wife’s claim of “emotional abandonment” and her request to keep the $12 million Coral Gables mansion.

He argued that the divorce settlement should be determined by their prenup, which Cynthia signed a month before their 2002 wedding, reports People magazine.

The pair have two children, Natasha, 3, and Ella, three month. A-Rod admits that his wife is a “loving and nurturing mother.”

According to court documents, the athlete wants the two to work out a time-sharing custody schedule without the court’s intervention.

Although A-Rod admits the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” he feels that mentioning “immaterial and impertinent” issues like his alleged “extra marital affairs and other marital misconduct,” is unrelated to the case, because Florida is a “no fault” state.

Although Madonna was not mentioned in Cynthia’s court documents, her attorney called the Yankee’s association with the singer an “affair of the heart” and “the last straw.”
