I agree it's none of our business so why announce it in interviews when you're promoting your new album???

JackieBlue said:

I think he was considered more of a bad boy in the early Romeo Blue days.

SCNDLS said:

I knew you were going to say that (but I understand) I actually first heard him talking about it in an indepth interview when he was asked about his life and how it had changed since his mother passed. I can't remember if he was promoting an album at the time... but I don't think he was... he talked about projects he was hoping to do but they delved deeper into who he was aside from the music. It was a pretty good interview overall. You gotta know when you say something like that you're setting yourself up for criticism but I think he welcomes it.

Yeah but that was like a million years ago!

onsidering that this is not coming directly a-rod's or Madonna's mouth, I'm gonna take it with a grain of salt.

JackieBlue said:

I recently read an interview I believe in a UK newspaper and they were interviewing him about the new album and his European tour. I think the reporter asked him who he's dating and Lenny brought up that celibate shit. Why even go there if you're serious about celibacy cuz it ain't nobody's business? Unless, you just want attention or more pussy thrown your way.

What about A-rod's wife's mouth?

Cinnie said:

Funny you should say that. Here's what she told Cindy Adams in today's New York Post:

PAINED C-ROD: I STILL LOVE HIM
BARES HER ANGUISH OVER SPLIT FROM WAYWARD ALEX
SPORTING WIFE: C-Rod shops in Miami yesterday. She told Cindy Adams that since her divorce suit, "My parents are devastated."

CYNTHIA RODRIGUEZ loves her man.

Cynthia Rodriguez has no malice.

Cynthia Rodriguez spoke to me yesterday.

A-Rod's wife wants no publicity. She does not want to speak out. She wants only to hide from the army of paparazzi camped in front of her.

Ask again, you mean she's saying she really still loves her womanizing husband and what comes back is, Cynthia Rodriguez is "not out to mutilate him."

MORE: A-Rod Stripper: I'll Give Naked Truth In Court

MORE: Bro Book: She's All Me-donna

The handsome, religious, soft-spoken lady simply is of a mind that her husband the big-time Yankee baseball star never believed all this could actually happen.

Ask all WHAT could actually happen and you're told: He never believed their marriage would blow up.

Ask why she thinks this and you're told: Because, in her view, he would never, ever believe she would not always be there for him no matter what.

She is also of a mind that he maybe, mistakenly, took her 13 years of dedication as a sign of weakness.

Yes, she still loves him. But, no, she's not weak.

As far as Mrs. Alex Rodriguez is concerned, this marriage is over. Done. Cooked. Finished.

She has come to the realization he's changed. He is no longer the same man she grew desperately to love.

So if today, right now, he walked into wherever she was, what would Cynthia say or do? She would say she has no regrets. She would tell herself she's come to terms. She would be grateful for her daughters. She would be certain God will watch out for her. She would insist she wishes nothing bad for Alex.

Ask why that might be her attitude and you're told: Last year's front-page story of his affair with another woman caused her so much "pain" that she simply - the way it's put is - "refuses to go there again."

Cynthia's lawyers, Earle Lilly and John Van Ness, allude to deeper issues where their client's husband is concerned. They use words like "narcissism" and "ego" and "not healthy."

They also know that, as they put it: "When you're married to a person that's real and this reality falls by the wayside, it ends up being really tough. One day he'll wake up . . . and he'll crash . . . but Cynthia will be there for him."

She does admit to trusted friends she'll be there for him the day he cracks up because she knows it's going to be - the words used are - "an ugly thing."

CONTINUED

OK, but having been bruised this badly, why will she be there to pick up those pieces should and if this happens? Because she has a graduate degree in psychology for abused and abandoned children. Because she and Alex have two infants. The eldest, Natasha, is 3. The youngest, Ella, is 11 weeks old.

Because this lady's passion is children. It was her life's work before and, despite no plans for the future beyond just taking the high road and keeping her head together for now, should normalcy ever return to her life she'll probably again work for children.

And because this separation and divorce is searing for their two little ones. A professional in the field, she knows firsthand what destruction of a family does to innocent beings caught in the madness.

Natasha is asking where is her dad. She loves her father. She is saying, "I miss my daddy."

Natasha's mother, in Florida with family for the immediate future, also loves New York. It was her home. Where she lived. She and her babies haven't yet been into the bedrooms in their Manhattan apartment to collect their toys and treasures. She doesn't even know when that might happen.

With unattractive tales printed about Cynthia trundling off for a grand high time in Paris, accompanied by what press reports call "an entourage," I pleaded for her to tell me firsthand the truth of what happened there. She resisted at first but the lawyers urged her to at least address these misperceptions. So she said:

"Not one word of those stories is true. I never before in all my married life together ever went away without my husband or family. Not once in 13 years.

"I did not spend one dollar shopping in Paris. I did not go to super-fancy expensive restaurants. I did not go to any spa. I didn't do one thing. I spent the most innocent four days with my children's godparents, who are as close to us as family. My husband and I were already into our problems and I didn't know where to go, what to do. I needed to think. To clear my head.

"Mine's a close-knit family. Never one divorce on my side. My parents, aunts, uncles are devastated.

"I needed to get away. With clear-headed friends. To breathe. To think how I'm going to handle my kids. I just needed a little time. My husband knew I was going. He encouraged it."

While she struggles to get peace and work her way through these horrible days, is she hearing from his teammates? No. Is she hearing from his family? No.

More bad Alex habits may yet surface. There are coaches on road trips through whom notes and numbers were passed. Much wildlife may yet creep out from under many a stadium.

Fie on Alex. His Cynthia is a lovely lady.

The whole thing is a gigantic mess. A-Rod and Madonna are perfect for each other because they are both shitty people who only think about themselves. I will admit, it's been interesting to follow this story. It's ALL OVER NYC, newspaper and local news. As messed up as the story is, I will follow this story as a whole lot of you will.

Only a gay man would call Madonna his "soul mate".

Cinnie said:

Has she caught Madonna and a-rod together?

Well, sumthin' not right with that story cuz on Cynthia's Myspace page she says they met in '98 which is not "13 years of dedication"

purplecam said:

I'm not gonna follow it. my own life is too fucked up to care about who is fucking who.

Have Madonna and A-Rod been caught fucking or something? Being seen together means your cheating?

Cam, why do you say they are shitty people?

Stymie said:

Prolly not since wifey lives in Miami and him and Madge are in NYC. However, he reportedly left her the night she had the baby (after he picked his fainting ass off the floor) and was seen with Madonna. So even Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles can figure that one out. Besides adultery doesn't impact her divorce case at all so proving it isn't necessary.

Stymie said:

I don't think MOST men or women walk in on their cheating spouses. So are you saying that just because you don't see him in the act he's not cheating?

SCNDLS said:

I'm saying I need proof. I have a ton of male friends, two of which call me their soulmate. I enjoy their company but we ain't fuckin'.

Now if he was hanging out with Madonna the night his last child was born, he needs his nuts walked on with cleats but being seen together does not necessarily equal cheating.

SCNDLS said:

according to most people it's just a Kabballah spiritual guru/student thing turn love affair

Stymie said:

Ouch! Well, that's what happened. After he fainted in the delivery room, he flew from Miami to NYC hours after the baby was born and was either photographed or seen with Madonna soon after. How about leaving another married woman's house after midnight? Would you have a problem with that? But still if there were other signs of him cheating with Madonna or another woman, I don't think she'd actually have to witness it to put two and two together.

SCNDLS said:

am i wrong for not caring about people cheating or just practical?

But even if she didn’t actually catch them in a compromising position wasn’t his closeness, infatuation, proclamation of love and him being her soul mate, late night conversations enough for her? His connection to Madonna may have just finally been the last straw since A-Rod’s been misbehaving for some time now. We don’t need to know what she saw or heard to know that whatever it was, C-Rod knew it was time to move on. If it weren’t Madonna it would be someone else. It just happens to be one of the biggest celebs in the world but long before Alex hasn’t been a respectful partner.

SCNDLS said:

i wanna be there with you guys, I really do but all I see is innuendo. If I were married and my husband was hanging out with another married woman, I'd have a problem with it if I didn't know. Other than that, i have zero problem with my significant other hanging out with another female.

Stymie said:

what if it's WORLD FAMOUS AND HORE EXTRADONIARE MADONNA?

Stymie said:

Stymie said:

Ivy, I don't really like Madonna or A-Rod as people. From when I was a kid, I always thought Madonna was full of herself and a nasty person which happens to be the same way I feel about A-Rod. I dig them for their work, baseball and music, but that's where it ends. No one has seen the 2 together but to me, it just seems to make sense for all of this to be the case. I know I've never met these people and I'm fine with never meeting them, even if we happen to be in the same city right now. Just my opinion, it may be right or wrong but it's mine.

ehuffnsd said:

I don't think of Madonna as a whore. i think she's gross and I don't get her but I don't think she is a whore.

If I can't trust my significant other, then I ain't gonna be married to him.

ehuffnsd said:

There's no wrong or right if it works for you. But are you saying people in general or YOUR significant other?

SCNDLS said:

my LTR was an open relationship. we had certain groud rules, no sleeping with the person you had sex with, but for the most part we both from time to time had sex with people outside the relationship

JackieBlue said:

Exactly! My best friends have ALWAYS been guys that I never had a physical relationship with. So, based on my history my significant other could correctly assume there's nothing going on with these friends. However, if I, like A-rod, was constantly photographed in different cities with known strippers my partner would have EVERY right to be suspicious.

Stymie said:

So if you'd just given birth to your husband's child and he got on a plane and flew 2000 miles to another city and was seen with another woman you'd have "zero problem" with that? Okay, if that works for you cool, but you're better than me cuz that would be his ass.
