Splitsville
Even though Rodriguez was on the top of the world when it came to his career, the truth was things were not looking so rosy in his personal life.
In 2008, it seemed that everything was fine, as A-Rod and Scurtis welcomed their second child, a daughter named Ella.
But not long after this happy event, the two announced that they were getting a divorce.
In a highly-publicized split, Scurtis was open about the fact that A-Rod’s alleged affairs had spelled the end of their marriage.
And this was only the beginning of the media fascination with the sporting star’s personal life.

As A-Rod went through a highly-publicized and emotional divorce, it made sense that he would seek comfort in a friend who understood how it felt to go through the same thing.
And so during that time, none other than the pop superstar Madonna was spotted attending several of his matches, leading to speculation that the two were in a relationship.
As Madonna was going through a divorce from filmmaker husband Guy Ritchie at the time, she would have totally understood A-Rod’s feelings and been a great shoulder to cry on.
