As you know if you have been reading the Pop Culture blogs, there seems to be trouble in the Madonna/Guy Ritchie marriage. Michele blogged that Madonna has reportedly been seeing Paul McCartney’s divorce lawyer despite Guy’s mum saying all the rumors are much ado about nothing.
This week, we also learned the two have been seen without their wedding rings. Now, Us Weekly is saying that New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was at Madonna’s Central Park apartment right after the birth of his daughter on April 30th.
Sources are saying that 32-year-old Alex and 49-year-old Madonna were not only keeping late night company in her apartment, but Alex also attended Madonna’s concert in New York City just nine days after his wife Cynthia gave birth to daughter Ella.
We all know Madonna is a cougar from way back (she is ten years older than Guy) and Alex has been rumored to have been less than faithful to Cynthia in the past. Last year, there were rumors of Alex romancing a stripped with the two had been seen in Toronto, Miami, and Dallas together.
Us Weekly contacted Alex’s Yankee rep, who referred them to Guy Oseary, who is manager for both Alex and Madonna. Hum. When Us Weekly called Guy, he hung up on them. Liz Rosenberg, Madonna’s representative, was conveniently not available for comment about Alex and Madonna.
However, she did release a statement to PEOPLE which said that “Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”
All I can say is where there is smoke there is usually fire and right now, it is a wonder Madonna can see from all the smoke. At least she can rest assured that Alex probably isn’t after her money – A-Rod signed a 10 year contract with the Yankees last December that was reportedly worth $275 million plus an extra $30 million if he breaks the all time home run record.
