Arod reportedly separating from wife Madonna on Deck
Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez and his wife have split less than three months after the birth of the couple's second daughter, according to a report in the New York Daily News.
Rodriguez refused to address the topic on three occasions Tuesday, once saying "no" when asked if he had any comment.
Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner also criticized the team's lack of hitting before an 18-7 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night, suggesting "a little less outside distractions and a little more concentrating" might help the team at the plate.
The Daily News reported Wednesday night, citing an anonymous source, that Rodriguez and wife, Cynthia, have separated after having "problems" for about three months.
The couple was married in November 2002 and has two children, Natasha Alexander and Ella Alexander, who was born April 21.
Rodriguez went 2-for-3 Wednesday night with his 17th homer of the season and also scored four times. It also was Rodriguez's 535th homer, moving him past Jimmie Foxx for 14th on the career list.
Arod getting with Madonna
New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was at Madonna's Central Park West apartment in New York City shortly after his wife gave birth to their second daughter, Usmagazine.com has learned.
One source tells Us that Rodriguez, 32, visited the singer, 49, possibly as early as the night after his wife gave birth.
Rodriquez, reportedly flanked by a child from the Make-a-Wish Foundation, wouldn't answer questions about their friendship Tuesday. (Watch him dodging reporters in NYC here.)
A source tells Us Weekly in its new issue, on newsstands now, that Madonna has been hosting late-night visits from the $28-million-a-year Rodriguez at her spacious home and he would sneak out "as late as midnight."
Rodriguez also attended Madonna's concert at Roseland in NYC on April 30 – just nine days after his wife-of-six-years Cynthia gave birth to daughter Ella in Miami on April 21. (They also have a 3-year-old, Natasha.)
"He was very chummy with her after her Roseland concert," a source tells Us.
Madonna has leaned on Rodriguez as her seven-year marriage to Guy Ritchie (who arrived ringless and grim-faced in NYC Monday) has stalled out.
The singer sat in Rodriguez's seats at a Yankees game on June 22 (it was the first time she ever was photographed at a Yankees game) and her son Rocco, 7, sported Yankees gear on June 25 while playing in Central Park.
Both Madonna and Ritchie, 39, have consulted attorneys in London. She has reportedly consulted the same high-profile divorce attorney who worked with Paul McCartney and Prince Charles.
