EXCLUSIVE: A-Rod Said He Was "in Love With Madonna"
Wednesday July 9, 2008



Buzz up!Just met? Hardly. New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was smitten with Madonna six months ago when he was exchanging text messages with her while dining with a friend in Miami.

"He kept smiling, acting as if he was a little kid," the dinner companion tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

"He told me it was Madonna," A-Rod's friend says. "I was shocked."

The highest-paid player in baseball then "proceeded to say he was in love with her," the pal tells Us. "I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't."

By February, the 32-year-old slugger had upped the ante. "He said, 'She's my f--king soulmate, dude,'" the friend tells Us.

On Monday, A-Rod's wife of nearly five years Cynthia – who gave birth to the couple's second child in April – filed for divorce six days after Us Weekly broke the news that her husband was making late night visits to Madonna's apartment.

So was it an affair? "Without talking about specifics of sexual conduct, there's no question," her attorney, Earle Lilly, tells Us. "No one very often has pictures of the actual sex itself."

While Madonna, 49 – who put on a show of unity with husband Guy Ritchie last week – has denied a relationship with A-Rod, Us Weekly reports all signs say otherwise.

A-Rod hasn't even seen his newborn daughter Ella "more than once," her attorney adds.

In fact, "literally 10 minutes" after the birth of Ella in Miami, he was flying to NYC to see Madonna, a source tells Us.

Check out the new issue of Us Weekly available now, for the full story on how the Material Girl lured A-Rod away from his newborn, why a friend says he's "totally brainwashed" by kaballah, how Madonna is thriving on the attention and why her friends think A-Rod is "totally her type."

Tell Us: Do Madonna & A-Rod make a hot couple?

Prince, JFK Jr, Carlos Leon, Warren Beatty, Sean Penn, Dennis Rodman, Guy Ritchie, A-Rod, Tupac, the list goes on.

I'm waiting for someone to blame this on Alex's wife Cynthia and label her a golddigger.

How is it gay?

I know that, I'm just saying since this new info is available I'm sure it won't change anyone's minds. Folks will still think it's the wife's fault.

U just proved my point.....

How do you know she fucked Tupac? I know she was present at his MTV interview but I don't think anything jumped off. And the list is a lot longer than that. But, I ain't mad at her, cuz she's just doing what men have ALWAYS done (not saying I agree with that) and been praised and applauded for yet she's villified. Why the double-standard?

SCNDLS said:

have you heard the "I'd Rather Be Your Lover" with Tupac instead of Me'shell?

HamsterHuey said:

Isn't that your boy from the "Letterman" show rubbing on him?

ehuffnsd said:

No. . . details please.

ehuffnsd said:

On and on, the list goes on and on, the list goes on and on...

ehuffnsd said:

Didn't Prince pass when she offered?
At least he did in the limo

SUPRMAN said:

I think P was hittin it around the time Sean Penn was cuz there's a story about Sean tearing up her hotel room in NYC cuz she was with Prince. I think that was JFK in the limo, but I could be wrong.

FROM A-ROD.....TO D-ROD.....ALL THE WAY TO Z-ROD!!!!!
SHE'S BEEN THRU THE WHOLE ALPHABET!!!!!
OR SHOULD I SAY
THE WHOLE ALPHABET'S BEEN THRU HER?????

I'm going down. . . to Alphabet St. . .

Why would she hook up with a guy who's ready to ditch his new born kid?? wtf is she doing??

SCNDLS said:

In Possessed, I think, there's a story about Prince and Madonna sharing a ride to the Grammy's or Academy Awards and Madonna wants to get busy in the back seat.
Prince wasn't amused. Probably didn't want to mess hims hair and makeup up.

SUPRMAN said:

Really? I haven't read that book. But I do recall a story about her and JFK in a limo. Maybe she has some kinda fetish or sumthin.

SCNDLS said:

Double standard? Im only speaking 4 me.....I would not touch an industry female, especially one with a rep like Madonna.

^^^That was hilarious.

Graycap23 said:

I agree with you, just like I wouldn't sleep with an athlete. I'm just saying that fools like Hugh Hefner and Jack Nicholson are viewed as the supreme bachelors worthy of envy but Madonna is a ho. That's a double-standard IMO.

SCNDLS said:

That's true.....

What about random latin boys in her limo? There is definitely a limo "motif".
