Alex Rodriguez wants prenuptial agreement enforced

Cynthia Rodriguez filed for divorce from Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) earlier this month after news of an alleged affair broke with Madonna. Cynthia said A-Rod “emotionally abandoned his wife and children” and their marriage ended because of his “extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct.” In her petition to the court, Cynthia asked for the $12 million Florida home they share and a big piece of all the cash A-Rod made while they were married. Alex is currently working on a 10-year, $275 million contract with the NY Yankees that makes him baseball’s highest-paid player.
However according to the NYDN, Cynthia agreed to a pre-nup a month before their wedding, and A-Rod of course wants it enforced. In papers that will be filed today in Miami, A-Rod concedes the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” but wants their prenup enforced and for the cheating claims to be stricken from the record. Florida is a no-fault divorce state, so A-Rod doesn’t have to say why their marriage failed.

A-Rod is ready to go to court if Cynthia fights him but he also said that he “has been paying, and will continue to pay … reasonable and bona fide expenses” for their two daughters. He also admits of his wife: “Husband admits and acknowledges that wife is a loving and nurturing mother,” the papers say. “Husband is confident that he and wife will be able to continue to work with one another to co-parent their children together and that they will be able to agree upon a time-sharing schedule … without the need for court intervention.”
