After a week of debating over Alex Rodriguez and
Cynthia Rodriguez’s marriage, things look official as A-Rod’s wife filed for
divorce Monday in Miami.
According to E! Online, Cynthia Rodriguez said in her divorce petition that her
husband had “emotionally abandoned” her and their kids and he “has left her with
no choice but to divorce him.”
In addition to that, C-Rod’s petition mentioned the fact
that Alex Rodriguez had “extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct.” With
all the rumors that linked A-Rod to Madonna, the court papers didn’t mention
the singer’s name. Moreover, Madonna herself denied those rumors, saying that she
knew the Yankees player through Guy Oseary but they weren’t “romantically”
involved. She also denied the rumors regarding her divorce, saying that she and
her husband weren’t planning to separate.
As for what Cynthia Rodriguez wants from this divorce, well
..the list is long. She wants primary custody of the couple’s children 3-year-old
Natasha and 3-month-old Ella, the $12 million home in Coral Gables, Fla.
and she expects Alex Rodriguez to pay her alimony, health and life insurance and
private school tuition for the kids. Alex Rodriguez is said to be worth about
$445 million, reported TMZ.
In October 2002, Cynthia and Alex Rodriguez signed an ante-nuptial
agreement but it remains to see if it is valid. According to Huston lawyer Earle
Lilly, Cynthia was “devastated” and “tremendously traumatized,” reported TMZ.
C-Rod is represented by attorney Maurice Kutner, Anthony
Sabatino of Miami and John Van Ness of Houston, while A-Rod hired Ira
M. Elegant who was also Shaquille O’Neal’s lawyer.
Alex Rodriguez and Cynthia married in November 2002 and have
two children.
