No shock. A-Roid has always been a shameless skirt chaser.

Marriage offers a man nothing. Why a successful money maing machine like a-Rod would even be married before 45 is beyond me. His ex will take more than half of what they own and half of what he makes in the future, probably forever. To a millionaire it's nothing, but there are average joes that are financially crippled after their ex-wives fleece them. They're left with nothing after taxes, support and alimony. I repeat, marriage offers NOTHING to a man. Men want sex and woman want to make babys for men to support.

Another slow news day? Nobody cares that these money hungry pigs are into splitsville. A-Rod is making 25+ million a year and probably half of that will go to his soon to be ex with more going to the child support. Nobody cares about Madonna either. She's worth almost a billion and how much will Guy get? Now maybe she will stop trying adopt every kid in the world.

Seriously, who the hell cares!?! Furthermore, does this come as a surprise to anyone? He was seen with a hooker for crying out loud!

[preacherman]

This is a typical feel good story that the media jumps on. ARod is rich, goodlooking, but can't even hold a marriage together is the theme. It makes those of us who are poor and ugly feel good about ourselves because we're still married.
If you're not still married, well then your just poor, ugly, and single.

[whogivesashit]

Sports stars and celebrities , who cares ?

[MOM in CT]

WHO CARES !!!!!!!!!

[rval2]

Why couldn't it be My Brandon!???

[puglife]

Madonna's just completing her rounds of the 2008 Yankees locker room and A-Rod just happens to be last (but not least).

You're ex wife is a VERY smart woman.

If A-Rod's estranged wife files for divorce, she could claim half of his vast fortune — as well as their three opulent homes and private jet, experts say.

"He'll be working on her farm team for the next couple of years," famed divorce lawyer Raul Felder said.

Baring an ironclad prenuptial agreement, Cynthia Rodriguez "has an excellent argument" that the Yankee slugger reached his celebrity zenith in their five years of marriage.

"You're going to need armies of accountants here because somebody has to compute what the celebrity status is worth," Felder said. "When we look back it may turn out that she ends up with more than half."

And what a half it is:

A-Rod earns about $29 million a year from the Yankees, more than the entire payroll of the Florida Marlins. He makes an additional $6 million annually in commercial endorsements. Sports Illustrated has estimated he'll make $445 million over the course of what would be a 24-year baseball career at the end of his newly inked $275 million, 10-year contract with the Bombers.

A-Rod and his wife own a $12 million, 8,310-square-foot mansion near Coral Gables, Fla., and recently bought a $13.5 million penthouse on the upper East Side.
The reigning American League MVP owns millions of dollars in rental properties in New York and Florida. He also owns a 22-seat Gulfstream jet worth more than $30 million.
Divorce experts also said Rodriguez could wind up paying a heavy chunk of his income on child support for the couple's two children, 3-year-old Natasha and 10-week-old Ella Alexander.
