It was ramping up to be a mudslinging media circus of legendary proportion: the star athlete who may or may not have been messing around with an international pop star; the long-suffering wife who had just given birth; the nasty statements coming out of either camp. It would have made the Christie Brinkley divorce look like a cakewalk. But now, Alex Rodriguez and estranged wife Cynthia have pulled back the reigns on their potentially messy divorce and settled the matter quietly.
Yankee superstar A-Rod and his long-suffering wife slugged it out quickly and quietly - and now have reached a settlement to end their troubled marriage, a source told The Post last night.
“They reached a settlement agreement,” said the source close to Alex Rodriguez. “It was very amicable.”
The terms were not immediately disclosed.
As The Post reported, Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez - with whom he has two daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, 5 months - started negotiations in New York soon after she filed for divorce in July.
Cynthia, who lives in Florida, was spotted several times out in the Big Apple this week, suggesting she may have come here to finalize the deal.
The breakup had triggered a flurry of embarrassing revelations, including A-Rod’s alleged schoolboy crush on Madonna - he reportedly gushed to a friend that the pop diva was his “f- - -ing soulmate, dude” - and Cynthia’s dash to Paris to cry on rocker pal Lenny Kravitz’s shoulder.
The Bronx Bomber supposedly paid late-night visits to Madonna - and was, according to a family friend, “brainwashed” by her. Madonna denied having an affair with the slugger, insisting her own marriage to British director Guy Ritchie was solid.
The pact is now expected to be finalized in court in Florida, where C-Rod had filed for divorce, accusing A-Rod of “extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct.”
A-Rod slipped out of Yankee Stadium after last night’s Bomber victory without commenting.
Well, as much as I would have loved hearing all the juicy details about A-Rod’s “extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct,” they did the right thing by ending this quickly and quietly. They have two little girls to co-parent, and A-Rod’s career doesn’t need anymore negative publicity right now. He just tied Lou Gehrig’s record for the most hits in Yankees Stadium, while his teammate Derek Jeter has broken that record - that should get him back into the good graces of sports fans.

it was actually Jeter who beat Lou Gehrig’s most hits record.

LOVE the look on her face in the second pic - you can totally see her dislike for him.

Mamalama- it looks like she was caught with her eyes half open but that does make her expression look sorta diabolical, ha ha.
Good for her. I respect her and she probably knew he was prone to temptation being a pro player but just fell in love.
She has a masters in psychology so it’s not like she is a bimbo. It’s good none of the lurid extra marital details were revealed. -
“no drama” of course not! she just wants her money, and she should get it too. someone should have warned A-rod about madonna, but oh well.

Now the poor lady can have some kind of dignity. That guy is a total jerk!

Poor Cynthia. It’s so easy to take the high road and bash her man but it takes courage to walk away calmly and collected. Hope it serves as an example for many..regardless if you are a celebrity or not.

A-Rod the A-Hole. Please you’re only a ballplayer. Hope her next guy is older, filthy rich and takes care of her and her family.

Any guy who wants to get involved with Madonna is a f**** idiot, the woman doesnt have affairs shes just a cock teaser, if she wanted A-rod she would have dumbed her husbands Arse even before the ink drys on his divorce papers with Cynthia.

Madonnas married to a smart strong man and shes a smart strong woman who knows what she wants and it aint some baseball player with a clueless brain, sorry mate! I think yah eyes need glasses cos you sure as hell cant see around you,
good on yah Cynthia for not dragging it out! go find yah self a decent bloke!
