In response to soon-to-be-ex-wife Cynthia's divorce demands, Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez insists that his pre-nuptial agreement with his estranged wife be kept in mind during the divorce battle.
He admitted that his marriage is "irretrievably broken", but he asks that Cynthia's claims of infidelity on his part be withdrawn. The baseball player labelled Cynthia's claims of "emotional abandonment of his wife and children" and his "extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct" as "immaterial and impertinent and should be stricken."
However, he acknowledged that Cynthia has been "a good and nurturing mother", and promises to pay "reasonable and bona fide expenses" to take care of their two daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, 3 months, as per co-parenting agreements.
Cynthia is looking to maintain her "high standard of living" through alimony, child support, and the couple's US$12 million estate, with "equitable distribution of all assets".
Cynthia states that the rumours of her husband having an affair with 49-year-old singer Madonna was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. She filed for divorce just 6 days after Us Weekly published a story on A-Rod and Madonna. Her attorney calls Alex's affair with Madonna "an affair of the heart" (any clue to what that means?).
Lucky Alex had enough brains to get Cynthia to sign a prenup before they got hitched. But for me, I think insinuations made by a gossip magazine is hardly a good enough reason to want a divorce. Catching your spouse in a dirty act with another... Now that is a better excuse for a legal separation.
